mumoftwo they are gorgeous I am so jealous!
I am contemplating making a set of "All year Round card" and putting them in a nice box for my mum this Christmas but I'm not sure if my cards are up to that standard yet!
This cuttlebug thing seems amazing! How does it work?

for anyone thats interested I have found a way of doign the round the picture wording ( like in my butterfly card) without the program cards and invitations

Its with Power Point
Select content layout on the right side bar then the blank one

Then go to Insert picture
then Insert text bar choose virtical for all sides and use the box to place it in the right place turning and adjusted as needed

Then go to select all in edit and move it over the the far right for an A5 card or the bottom for a DL
For a DL you will need to reselect the image and turn it the right way up

God how sad am I, I'm over the moon that I've found a course in my local college on Gift Card Making! I can't wait! I've been so excited but my family and friends have looked at me as if I've lost the plot, Hmm excited over card making! It must be an MSE thing!:j

Also picked up some lovely bits and bobs from Wilkinsons today didn't realise they had a craft section, got some lovely Christmas bits, they had the heat guns there for £5.00 and all the embosing powders, think that's what they were anyway! I just want to buy everything now! :rotfl:

Mine didnt arrive till mid day by DHL so there is still time

I had a reply saying I could return it if I wasnt happy but PP would probably be more than the stuff is worth
I certainly wont be ordering any other thier bundles again

When I finaly got round to opening the card selection last night
2 of the 3 ink pads had been used because you could se stamp marks on them
Pieces of the paper had got chunks took out off them and 1 off the sheets to put peel offs over had had a piece punched out
1 of the bundles of cord (the pink one) was filthy dirty and smelt musty
I magazin in the pack which was out of date
1 sheet of peel offs had been part used
Steer clear of the bundles

Hi Saveapenny!

I posted a couple of days a go saying I was disappointed with my mystery parcels and my craft one was very similar to yours and I had several opened/part used items included in my order. I think I made a mistake as I actually ordered more than one of the mystery boxes as I thought it would be a good thing for a craft beginner! But actually I am still buying bits and pieces for specific projects and think I wasted some of my money!! I did get some really beautiful papers and loads and loads of ribbon but I wouldn't do it again!

I did send an email saying thank you for my order and that it had included some lovely items but I thought they ought to tell people that the orders would include part used/opened/second hand items as I assumed it would all be new and sadly I didn't get a response!

I wouldn't have returned it though as postage would have been costly plus I had already stayed in 1.5 days with the kids and din't want to waste more time at the post office etc etc!

oh well you live and learn and I will just be very cautious in the future! Maybe if I'd ordered one box only it would have been better who knows! I can't tell you exactly what was in waht box as I ordered more than one but the craft ones were not as good as the others I think!

Furrypig and Saveapenny. If you are not happy with your orders and they are not new then you have every right to return them and request for a full refund including return postage. Personally I would send them back. They were advertised as craft boxes not as part used items stuffed in a box. Maybe it is just me though. I know I wouldn't be happy about it.
