    I love all the ideas on this thread. I do have a few stamps and have even done one or two classes on making cards but I'm not very good!
    I also like making jewellery (which I am only slightly better at) and recently decided to start again. Anyway, I found some snowflake shapes on ebay and thought I'd give them a go. They are so easy to make, no talent required and just a pair of pliers needed to loop each end. I've uploaded a photo to photobox, how do I post it here?

    you can get a pack of 50 piping bags from lakeland for £5.99, i know alot of people use these as opposed to the ebay cello cone bags.

    Oh my ....... everytime I come on this thread we have grown even more.

    I will be adding a Peg Fridge Magnet tutorial in a bit for the lady who asked xxxx

    But I thought I would show you some Christmas cards I have just made using a packet of 18 3D gift tags that I only paid £1.99 for - and we know how expensive toppers like this cost in the craft shops!

    All I've added are a few googly eyes, some punched snowflakes, odd stickers and the gingham background paper

    The cheapest I found were these £8.75 for 100 and really quick delivery
    It's easier to get forgiveness than to ask permission ;)

    flyingpig58- Those cards are fab! And the toppers at £1.99 for 18 are a bargain.

    I have spent most of today sweeping, hoovering and general tidying and am now going to reward myself with some crafting.

    Ddraig- I purchased all my cellophane bags (cones and a variety of other shapes) on ebay last week. There are lots to choose from on there.

    Ddraig - if you only need a small number and you are happy with medium cello cones PM me and Ill send you a handful - I ordered 200 a few weeks ago so a few wont make too much of a dint!!!!

    Ladies - whilst I understand that offers of sharing a few spares are done in the best of intentiones...please remember that this is against the forum rules...
    Why can't I give something to/buy something from someone on the forum?
    The safety of our forum users is paramount and for this reason we can't allow anyone to exchange their personal details either on the open forum or via PM, however honourable the intention.
    This means we don't allow selling/trading/exchanging/swapping or giving as gifts, nor links to your ebay auctions, or other forms of advertising.
