Yip skipperty bop! The wifey is a v. happy bunny as Oyster Stamps have sent an email confirming that the Big Pink Machine is on its way! :j :j :j :j

Rusty has your CB V2 arrived yet? Are you pleased with it?

Snipped.

Yay :j :j I bet you are so excited?

Not had it yet, they did say on the phone I had ordered the last one? they also said some would be shipped this week and then the rest next week, you can guarantee that because I am desperate for it to arrive that it will be next week!

I just checked on the Sizzix site and mine is saying shipped. Will let you know when it arrives!!


Edit - it's just arrived, fab fab fab - love the dies and embossing folders. Will have to test them out later!!!

My crafty ribbons order just arrived also!!!!

Not jealous in the slightest. I have washing up to do anyway :rotfl:

Oooooh I've just ordered myself a Big Shot as an early birthday pressie I ordered a couple of dies in the Sizzix sale and I just NEED to have the big shot to use them

So ladies - where's the best place to purchase nice craft stuff without the horrendous price tag. I mean I love Hobbycraft but boy is it expensive!!!
Not had a go at making a birthday card yet......might have a nose at my stash the weekend.

What size cards do you normally make? My Xmas ones were all A6 which is nice and easy but I do sometimes think square cards look a bit nicer. If you do square ones what size are they and when do you get the envelopes from (I ordered a box of linen card from Papermill before Xmas so have a nice stash of card now )

Sorry for the 20 questions
Thanks for the list of blogs, very useful and I shall be having a nose when I get chance.

Can someone tell me do the Bigz XL dies go through the cuttlebug? and is it those I would need the extended plates for?
Just trying to plan ahead for DD's birthday!

https://www.theglitterpot.co.uk is always a good one, as is https://www.craftsuperstore.co.uk as they generally have a half decent sale section with some really decent and cheap stuff!

As for card blanks, I always buy these ones. I know quite a few of the girls off here also use these same blanks

I will enter - haven't made a card to enter yet though - can I just clarify things for me, although I'm sure for somebody a little less dim it's entirely clear

I make a card
I upload it to my blod
I tell you it's there?

Or do I have to post something on your blog to tell you/show you I've done it.

Just trying to make the card I described up earlier, however, I ended up with black ink all over me, and then got it on what I was stamping. The prototype is quite promising - I'll just be a little more careful.

Yes just make a valentine card,put it on your blog :T,and just post about doing so.good luck,forgot to tell any newbies,the winner picked at random,sets the next challenge,to run for a fortnight.You will have the choice of what card weall make next time if you win.

Where is this challenge? I'm in the mood for making some cards

I'm so jealous of all the Florida talk, I haven't been for years and have a feeling I won't be going for another few years!

My final craft order of 2011...yes 2011 should arrive tomorrow! I'm hoping to go to the NEC in March but I can't really afford to buy new things this year, need to use what I've got!
