Ideas for card craft beginner

melissa75_2

Here's the information for the subscription deal:
BARGAIN ALERT!!!!!
I got an offer in the post today from Papercraft Inspirations magazine, (no idea how they got my details!). Anyway subscribe today for three issues of their magazine for £1 and choose a free gift.
The options for the free gift are (I'll have to descibe them from the letter as I subscribed on the website and they didn't show me pictures), accessory tote bag - looks very big, lots of pockets on the outside and is pink and purple. A heat embossing set, you get a heat gun and three embossing powders in raspberry, lilac and moss green colours. For those that don't know you use this when stamping.
The last option, and the one I have chosen is a mystery craft kit. You get one of three possible kits, a K&Co. "neopolitan" set which includes "over 380 stickers & chipboard shapes", this comes in a pink case and looks really pretty. The second item is K&Co "dollhouse pack", which includes "over 250 papers, card blanks and rub-ons". The last one is Paper cellar's "all occasion card kit". Looks like you get card blanks, envelopes and stickers with this one.
You can carry the subscription on after this offer, I think it was £8.30 every 3 months or choose to cancel within 60 days and cancel your direct debit. I will cancel - you still get to keep the 3 magazines and the free gift and it costs just £1. It says the free gift is worth up to £23!
You can ring up to order on 08448482852 and quote code D008, or do it online at www.myfavouritemagazines.co.uk/pci/D008. I hope this helps someone.
I thought it would be easier to just paste the original information rather than tell you the page number.
1982girl - what freebie did you go for? I was wondering, I have already cancelled my direct debit in case I forget but after I receive my last of the three magazines whether I could subscribe to this deal again - probably not!!!

Have to stop there as I'm going to convince myself I must buy some of this lovely stuff!!! My fav I think is the Laura Ashley range - really beautiful :T

Hi!!!

Sorry about not coming on regularly. I decided to treat myself to 8 sheets of 25p peel offs from Rugbycraft. They have really nice designs there. It seems really cheap because peel offs are normally 99p, i got 8 for £4.00, including postage!!! I will post some picture when they arrive!

Ilovecompanies xx

Hi all this is Marys card for this weeks challenge

melissa75_2

Mary - lovely card, really beautiful, I love the backing paper and the flower image together.
Polly - great card too, does iris folding take long? It looks so professional and intricate.
Rainmac - thanks so much for the links, I will have a look in a minute. I have placed a couple of bids already on some accordion kits. I love the Laura Ashley range too. The papercraft magazine is running an offer again when you subscribe, not a £1 this time unfortunately, but £8.53 every 3 months direct debit and you get a Laura Ashley collection (worth £26 free). You can call 08448482852 (quote ref P042), or go to www.myfavouritemagazines.co.uk/pci/P042. Details of the offer are in July's issue of Papercraft Inspirations.
Sorry for not putting an entry in for this weeks challenge, I spend so much time on the internet looking at card making stuff and trying to find a bargain, that I haven't made many cards - stupid really!
ILC - hello!!!!! Definately post some pics!
Pennyshalin - welcome, I'm afraid I can't help you with your questions as I haven't got a printer, but hello anyway!

melissa75_2

Rainmac - just checked out the links - some really gorgeous stuff there. The trouble is it all looks so good I think I would be scared to use it. I would want to keep it safe and just look at it now and then!!! Have you ever tried scrapbooking????
I can't remember who suggested it but the Artymiss site has a big collection of scrapbooking stuff, (I had a look), and she has a few bits in the sale.
Check out one item on ebay I think its my favourite, along with the Laura Ashley range, so expensive though: item number 180248345499
sooooooo beautiful!
I'll let you know if I buy anything, okay that should be I'll let you know what I buy - can't resist.
