asda are doing them at £2 per box at the mo

Thanks - managed to get 2 boxes yesterday at the Co-op and they were £1.75 there but only the dark mint ones so might pop to askda to see if they have any milk ones.

good morning all - a quick question for you all i have the chance to buy an electric sizzix machine for £75 from someone who has only used it 2 times - do you think it would be worth it TIA

Is it like this one ? If you're sure you'd use it enough then it's probably worth it. Do you get any dies or anything with it too?

craftygranny - yes thats the one and yes i think it will come with some dies - just worried spending that much money then find out i wont use it much

I make my own version of penguin poop & snowman poop in excel file, took a lot of faffing about to get text, picture etc correct, I can email you if you like. That way, all the settings are there for you and you can add your own text and pictures. I got 4 toppers on an A4 piece of card. HTH x

I got a phone call tonight telling me that I cannot have a stall at the switch on of the village lights unless its for an organisation, they are not allowed to give stalls out if its for your own profit I was pretty gutted TBH but....there is an indoor car boot sale locally this Sunday :eek: Will I have everything done in time, I am still waiting on my SU punches and then thats when the fun will start, also have 100 CDM miniatures to re-cover :eek:, perhaps I should start now??:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Been doing my es mints for the craft fair next friday and couldn't find my green holly leaves for the puds and wanting to get them finished so used assorted colour foil holly leaves do you think they look ok or silly. Did some santa ones and fairy ones too.

I use mine for embossing a lot there are some fab embossing folders about. They are brilliant with the labels nesties too for doing the bag toppers . Mines a cuttlebug but they all do similar things . Fab ideas for using die cutting machines on craft fairies blog here .

Craftygranny - they are fabulous - well done.

Can I just admit that I am feeling all crafted out I've got a box of stuff to try and sell, got a couple of orders to fulfil but I just CBA I've spent so long making up the box of stuff I am sick of the sight of it. If I don't sell enough of it I am soooooo gonna cry LOL!

craftygranny they look fantastic

I've been looking at cellophane bags on eBay. Do they need to be specifically marked as food grade for use as repackaged sweets (kisses, noses, poop etc) or can I use the really cheap ones?

thanks
