It is card craft plus. My mum is a regular at the factory outlet.

The craft shop in St Johns Arcade is called PaperCraft and it used to be in the indoor market and as far as I know it is going to be relocating soon so keep an eye out incase they have a closing down sale.

QVC is always good for craft stuff I know one shop who buys the TSV craft producs from there and splits them up to sell at a big mark up.

Getting homesick now as I live up in Bonny Scotland and not in Preston anymore But if you are all meeting up PLEASE invite me!!!!!!!!!

Oh bliss Scotland ... fellow Prestonian here and to be honest i went back a few months ago and the place is just a dump ...Proud Preston where ? its lost it . I worked until recently for a craft wholesale in Leeds until recently keep away from QVC /IDEAL WORLD both in my opinion rip off merchants ...ps we used to supply cardcraft plus in Preston .

Don't Abakhan on Manchester Road in Preston sell things like this? And they are mega cheap!!!!!

Also, Wilkinson's in Preston have a massive 75% off a lot of their summer stock and if you're after a card craft pack for a child they have one down to £1.50

thanks for that

the banner was on the opposite side of the road to the market car park, say you were driving past the market car park and keep driving as though you are heading towards fishergate/poundstretcher end of preston and the banner is on your right somewhere before staples

No, I can't believe the number of Prestonians on here either.
Although I am not originally from Preston - I came here to study at the University in 1997, went back home in 2000, then returned to live here when I got married in 2001. Although I must admit, Preston as a student is far more appealing than living here permanently! I get quite homesick these days!!!:rotfl:

Awww where you from originally?I went to uni in Preston too, but was also born here, and I live in the suburbs where it is very nice;)

I know I've been past a discount card making supplies place. I've got a feeling it is just off Garstang Road. If you turn onto the A6/Garstang Road from the Ringway (just near the Holiday Inn) and then turn right at the next set of traffic lights I'm pretty sure it's on that short stretch of road somewhere.

Funnily enough, I noticed the billboard sign on Tuesday, at the junction of Upper Friargate and Ringway.

I hope that is useful.

Stop Press. There's an ad in the Lancashire Evening Post tonight on page 4 and the place is where I though, which turns out to be called Sedgwick Street. Telephone 01772 272562/272572 if anyone wants further details.
