Backing paper, card and hand made papers on the net?

Hav'nt got many craft shops here so finding it hard to get nice papers and card.

Also are those cd- roms where you can print your own papers any good or are they not worth the hastle?

personally speaking, I would google the item you want to buy. Then, I would try to find one Web Shop that you can buy all of the items from as buying from a different person means more postage & packing.

Ebay crafts is a good place to start as alot of the traders on there have web shops.

www.docrafts.co.uk is good but a bit pricey.

I expect you will find that there are so many people on her who will guide you in the right direction.

did you get your loyalty card and free gift?
If you spent over £15 you get a free gift and the loyalty card gives you 1 token for every £5 you spend.
If you didnt order them....phone the shop direct tomorrow and they will add them to your order.
Art base is A1,you need about 2 hours to look at everything...I go there in the small wee hours and spend forever looking at at all there lovely papers....one night I sat adding everything I wanted to buy and my shopping cart total came to £4k....good job I didnt click purchase!!!!
