Cor!!! were do we start????
You'll get inundated with loads of sites to have a peep at!!!
I found this yesterday have a look at this set its quite good value

Baker Ross.
Craft Creations.
Lakeland Craft section has some good make and do packs.

Its very addictive and within a few months you'll be hooked....I know I am!!!

Its out of stock jayzmummy!!!!

Oh BUM!!! I ordered one yesterday for my frineds daughter.

What sort of cards do you want to make?
Have you seen the ones in the gallery that the MN crafters have made?

There are so many different styles but basically you need to get

Card
Cutting Mat
Glue
Papers
A couple of Stamps
Ink Pads
Cutting Knife

Oh the list is endless!!!!

well now xmas is only around the corner.. i think its the best time for me to have a play with it as ive got the stencil knife adn board already so ill have alook on the websites later and let you know

WARNING......It's VERY Addictive !

good!!!

For the first ones, do i make one card each eg wedding, xmas, christening etc and just make 10 cards for now or just make one lot of xmas cards for egs

I use Jill Craft, Lakeland, Studio, ebay, The Range and Hobby craft (if I have to!).

actually i was looking at the card making kits on ebay and seems to be okay but need to look at it tmrw properly to know exactly what im looking for

Biglips...be careful on ebay....you can end up with lots of things you would never use.....if you want I can put together a kit for you of a couple of cards just to get you started.

I actually found a pack of Xmas rubber stamps in ASDA last year for 97p.

Got some Lakeland rubber stamps in a January sale last year and just some plain white cards from papercraft. Have spent the evening happily stamping.

jay - yeah thats true... ok what exactly do you mean by putting together a kit of a couple of cards??

expat - yeah thats reminds me when i used to do stamping on walls as part of old job (no not with feet BTW - stamping!! - get it!!)

Ill can send you some bits and pieces. Ive got some die cuts here, bits of scrapbook paper, loads of odds and sods really. I could pop them together and post them out to you so you can have a play around.
CAT me if you want some.....just hate to think of you buying stuff off ebay and ending up with stuff you dont need....it happened to me lots when I first started and I have heaps of stuff here that I know I will never use.

okay how do i CAT you? as never done it!!.. and the cost please
