Never done cards before. OR anything crafty, what do I need (apart from a sissix machine) to get going!

Help!

You don't neccessarily need a sizzix. I'd say essentials were : decent glue (small nozzle PVA)& scissors. Start off with peel off greetings & a few different colours & styles of card & paper. Best way to get your confidence up is buy some toppers (ready made stick on bits !) and a craft mag for some good ideas or stick to basic designs.

have a look at the many card ideas on do-crafts or hobbycraft. Then you'll get an idea of what you like and what you will need to achieve it!

I'd recommend Quick Cards made Easy for beginners, and also buying small packs of stuff on EBay (especially sissix cuts- deffo not a beginners essential!). Sticky pads are handy, I like Anitas Tacky Glue myself also, and double sided tape.
