I like the look of those kits, MrsF. I was supposed to be going today but ds1 is off school with some kind of virus and atm I'm stuck in the house.

If catj can't get them I may be able to go either tomorrow or Saturday if that's not too late to post them.

thanks so much...i will be so greatful...and if both of you get it i will buy ALL of it off you...you won't be stuck with it.....coppertop knows i have a 'thing' about paper...glueing...sticking....ans i am very obsesive ...so to end up with 6 packs would be nothing new!!!

Will do, MrsF.

I must confess that I've just been doing some glueing and sticking with ds1 and ds2. It's addictive. Even ds1 has managed to work up the energy to join in.

hausfrau...did you have the set with loads of large sheets of corregated/bumpy card...with gold stars printed on both sides...??

i ended up buying 1 set 4 me...1 set for my son (then pinched half of it for me!)...and i just bought the 3rd to give the school.

the craft day they are having is 2 sessions...9-11 for my 6 yrold...and then 1-3 for my 9 yrold.... i'm plucking up the courage to ask to stay ALL day...have my lunch at school...and volunteer to help set up and clear up etc....i love 'glueing and sticking' so much!!!

see...Coppertop....knew you had the flair!!!!

I'll hopefully be having a look tomorrow, MrsF. The question is do I get any for you or keep them all for ME ME ME!

I'm glad catj managed to get some for you though.

I have got a pack if anyone is interested?

Report

It is a bargain for £3.99.
Wish I was more crafty - DD has made better cards than I have.

nearly wept when I first read this as I went today Mrs F and got 3 packs for me. I could have got you some. Am soooooo glad you have them now. They are superdooperfantazzyscrumptionastic. Most impressed with the quality of the backing papers and the pretty vellums.

yes....i'm ok.....catj has emailed me and said she posted all 3 packs today ...and she even requested guaranteed next day (by 1pm) service!!!!

i am so greatful.....

COPPERTOP....really...though i do want more...i ought to say NO....but part pf me fels i should have as many packs as possible...but then again...i have to stop somewhere...would i have 100 packs...well er.... yes....i would....and say you had gone there today and got me 3 packs...well i'd have 6...and therefore my OCD logic is that if you are going there...and there is an odd pack floating around....then 1 more pack makes 4...not 6 ...so plausable....
....however......catj said the postage aws £7 for the 3 packs....so really...i'm being daft to ask for more...
so............NO! NO! NO! i don't need any more
(unless...you've been by chance 2night...and i'd ofcourse FORCE myself to have more packs!!!)

in wikinsons a while back i was THRILLED when i got a pack of 100 assorted A4 sheets of paper and card....and when i got home found to my delight that there were only 20 naff sheets....the rest were either that 'leather' textured RED card (christmas cards!!!) cream 'parchment/scroll' type paper...which i have used for inserts.....and some thick paper that was very textured...but still printed well...but also perfect for writing on with my caligraphy pen...

oooooooo not into cardmaking, but I could be tempted I have a Lidl near me, I'm going there tomorrow to get some and have a bash at this cardmaking lark, anyone else want any while I am there???

MrsFrostgetful · 24/11/2005 22:58

sparkly....i know i haven't actually seen this pack yet...but when i heard UCM mention VELUMS...i knew it was good!
loads of card kits in wilinsons etc for £3..but all you get is about 4 cards....and though some are quite pretty...they are rather 'this is all you can make with this stuff' as the colours are rather limited...whereas from what i can see on the lidl stuff...looks like there are many colurs...and tones...mix'n'match to your hearts content!!!

sparkley...if you do get it.... aslo buy a roll od double sided tape...as he pack includes glue...which actually tends to warp the cards....and you don't want that!!!
the glue is great for small bits...but i once glued all round the edge of a large patterend piec of paper...stuck it on the card....came back to find it looking like i'd screwed it up...so bear that in mind if you use the glitter in the pack...be sparing with the glue!!!
