Ideas for card craft beginner

polly - sounds like a fun night and at such a good price ! Our craft shop charges £7 and you have to buy the stuff needed ! I think they do 2 cards but even so, I think its a bit dear. Good luck, bet you'll enjoy it.:j

Wow, great cards everyone, and well done to you Rainmac for getting the job, Do you have to follow her designs or plans or do you have free reign? sounds really exciting.

Remember the special offer for the magazine subscription £1 for 3 months. Has anyone heard? I haven't got the magazine or the free gift yet. The money has been taken out of my account. Hope it wasn't a scam.

I have come home from holiday with a bag full of craft goodies, ribbon and new cuttlebug stuff, scrapbook paper and my mother gave me lots of punches she didn't want anymore, luckily I didn't go over the luggage allowance. I can't wait to get stuck into the cardmaking here again but will have to do the washing/unpacking first, and sorting out all my new stuff and find room for it all.

It is great to be back with you all. Your cards are all so lovely.

Thanks mumoftwo, I will follow set designs but can have input for new designs/ different way of doing things etc. I'm really happy to get the chance to make cards and get paid

Sounds like you had a great trip, good luck finding homes for all your new kit!

Thanks also to EVERYONE for your comments, I feel I will wake up and find out it's all been a dream

mumoftwo - I received my third magazine from the offer a few days ago. They were on time posting the magazines, BUT still no sign of the free gift. I have emailed them loads of times asking them where it is and each time they apologise, moan that they didn't have enough stock and promise to try and send it within 14 days. The last deadline is almost up so I will be sending them another email to moan. Sounds like you had a great time on holiday, bet you can't wait to use all of your new products.
Polly - sounds like a great price to me - £1.50! Its great that you get to use their equiptment too. I bet you have loads of fun!
sonee2405 - welcome to the thread. Don't get disheartened with your cards, some of my first attempts were awful and ended up in the bin. I still get days now when I hate everything that I make. As you make more you will find that your confidence grows and you learn loads of more techniques. I am not very good at giving instructions on how to upload your picture onto here, but if you check the first few pages of this thread I think someone
posted some easy to follow instructions. If you can't find them I'll have a look for you.

Good idea. I've had a go at making envelopes before but not the way pictured on here.
