Those of you interested in a brand new Sizzix Big Shot I found the cheapest place for them was here

OK it doesn't include any of the cutting dies but I have to say having watched a few of the autions for Bigshots on Ebay when you factor in the cost of postage (which is circa £10-12 I've seen) you might be better off buying a brand new bigshot and hunting around for the specific cutting dies that you want. Well just in my humble opinion

I have drooled over a Bigshot for ages but given I've bought some of Craftfairy's punches I think I need to limit my purchases of late - have been going a bit mad lately


For those of you who use rubber stamps - what do you find is the best and cheapest thing to colour in the printed designs. I ended having to use coloured pencils for a stamp of a Xmas pudding I did and TBH it looked a bit "flat". My rubber stamping in the past has been limited to embossing but I'd quite like to use some of these stamps for decoupage and pencils aren't going to cut it.

Hello,
I think I have either posted herre before or one of the other christmas crafting forums. Anyway Hi!
Don't know if anyone has ever looked on yellowmoon . co . uk for bits but they do a fantastic range....loads of foam shapes and kids crafty bits too. A badge maker like flying pigs. Also it is a fundraiser... if you have not heard of it them have a look... my sons school does fundraising through it. code SFR11981 and 20% go to school.
Other than that how fantastic all your makes are. I really need to get my skates on. Have 7 fairs coming up and need to get cracking on some smaller gifts.

I want one!!! Really cannot afford it though, we are supposed to be paying every extra penny we have on getting rid of the debts, so really cant justify spending it on that maybe one day!!!

Ours too By about £100 :eek::eek: H did a quick check on price comparison website and our quote is pretty much standard Seems they are all upping their prices booooooooooooooooo!

Anyway click on the link and save it to favourites for a time when you are feeling flush Or when it's coming up to your birthday.
I could spend a small fortune but I need to be a bit more restrained, it's too easy for me to get caught into the buying rather than doing trap I've ordered my punches and give the eye watering price they'll have to do for now. At any rate I might find my cards are total pants and that I have no talent anymore for crafting. I made my wedding invites, Order of Service and Menu/place cards but that was 6 years ago and I appear to have lost my card making mojo

And quidco is pretty poor these days too. My renewal price seems the most competitive

Have done that
Or when it's coming up to your birthday. That's not too far off
