a present for someone who loves cardmaking please?
She has a Sissix (???) machine but I don't know what sort so I can't really get anything for it. I'm happy, to, dare Shock I say it, buy something online and would genuiniely welcome your recommendations.
So cardmakers, what do you covet?

There is so much out there to choose from and it depends on her style of cards but...I would consider -
Card blanks + envelopes
nice packs of paper (matching designs)
Pack of mulbery paper (always handy)
a multi pack of different colours of card (useful with a Sizzix)
Maybe some brads

Steer away from gadgets if you don't know what she's got. Many of the online places do vouchers too Smile

I covet glaze pens - made by Sakura - you can buy them on eBay - search sakura glaze (or aqualip - some come from Singapore, but they're v good).

It's a bit hard if you don't know what sort of cards she makes, but if you get her something she wouldn't normally buy for herself it's nice to have a play.

Or you could buy Hobbycraft or Lakeland vouchers?

Lionheart.

Small 6x6 pads of patterened papers are good for cardmakers and come in a wide variety of colours and themes. Cost from £3 upwards and are available from most RL craft shops or online.

There is a fab range of Making Memories cardmaking packs which have just been released which are yummy or anything from the cardmaking range by Hot of The Press.

Gift vouchers would be good though so your friend can stash shop for goodies she knows she will use.

These all sound very good. Aside from e-bay for the fancy pens is there a good online shop for the other things?
I don't think her cards have a particular style since she's quite new to it and likes to try out different things.
Thanks. Smile
