I went to the paper mill shop and I bought............

an accucrease board thingy and bone folder.
2 embossing powders, red an green for Christmas, ho ho ho
and some 'see D's' stamps- Christmas words

I am very impressed with the stamps,£7 for many nice phrases and being able to see them does help. Also the folding board (not sure if it is an accucrease) was £9 and does make things look more professional.

Off for a play

....and I bought a Fiskars Shapeboss Xmas stencil thingy for £3.50 - not tried it out yet though!

Right, this bone folder thingy, does it make lurvly crease (all rounded) down back of card and have you got one of these envelope creasers. Actually has anyone. At the mo I am putting my cards in crap wilkinsons office envelopes and even I have to say - it's naff.

Anyone?

PS anyone bought a bow maker. I can get hubby to make one so just want to know if it's worth it. Few bits of different sized dowel in a plank. But apparently you can make perfect bows??????

The bone folder and board do make a difference to folding the card, in that it's really easy and looks very professional too. I bought the envelope makers from lakeland and they are good but time consuming. You can get more bespoke envelopes from craft creations at a reasonable price and ages ago someone recommended ideal envelopes (?) but I have never ordered from them.
