    Hi

    Does anyone have Issue 16 (I think, it's the one about making holiday cards) of Let's Make Cards? If so, could you please post the subscription offer - what the free gift was, what you had to quote and any T&Cs? I'm chasing up my free gift and they're saying I'm not supposed to be getting one!

    Thanks

    i have looked in issue 16 and can't see any mention of a free gift - sorry:(
    there was a free gift with subsciptions in issue 17 but this is the first time I have seen a free gift.

    Had to make a sort of 'thinking of you' card for boss's family today after he died in a road accident on Tuesday..........not a pleasant thing to have to do but I tried to make it not too morbid looking..................not an easy task when kids are starting WW3 !!!!....................:eek:

    How strange. I wonder if I saw an online offer, or a flyer perhaps? I was definitely supposed to get something! Maybe it was all just a nice dream...ah well. Thanks for looking! xx

    Edit - sorry to hear about your boss x
  • Alison6692 - I was really pleased with my order too. I got some of the wooden embellishments and they were lovely. Got loads of the ribbons - they were really cheap.
    Rustyflange - lovely door hangers.
    Cazarol - was that the 3 issues for a pound subscription?? Glad your stuff FINALLY turned up, did you get embossing powders with it too?
    Polly - SORRY - PRINCESS POLLY - lovely thank you cards, such a clever idea to put a picture of the happy couple on there.

    Hello

    Here a few of my designs - The first one isn't that great but it was first attempt at glitter writing - I used a glue pen and sprinkled glitter over it. It didn't come out that well - any tips would be great.

    Hurray. Yippee, Megaroony!!
    My heat embossing free gift has arrived from Papercraft Inspirations. I have been putting off buying one in the hope it did arrive but have almost given up hope on numerous occasions. I dont have to keep borrowing my Mums now and then rushing it back when she realises I have got it and she is waiting to use it...................he he he
    Takes away some of the disappointment at not being able to use Wordle!!


    Lucky you:T Thats the gift I selected and after numerous emails to remind them they finally sent me a k&co scrapbook pack:confused: It's lovely but not what I wanted.
    Rustyflange I love the doorhangers-pink is my fave
    Love can tame the wildest
