am bored in the evenings and fancy trying card-making

[misdee]

what can u suggest as a good starter set?

I got one from a shop in Bluewater. It was by DMC, and is pretty pretty things like I like. I didn't follow the patterns and sent one to my mum, whose birthday was yesterday. She didn't realise I'd done it myself, so can't be awful! Am now planning my xmas cards... It's nice to do. Lots more on here are ery experienced though.

Misdee there are loads of really good sites that you can start buying your goodies from....be warned though it is highly addictive!!!!!

I'd suggest popping down to your local craft shop and having a look at the card making goodies that are available.

Buy yourself a pack of blank cards, £4.99 for 25.
Get a pack of coloured card, some double sided sticky tape, a cutting mat, a stanley blade and away you go.
Im sure you DD's will have loads of bedas, glitter etc that you can experiment with.
Once you start to get a feel for what you are doing then you can invest in stamps, ink pads, heat guns etc etc etc etc etc

this is a good site for ideas and lists products and retailers in your area

misdee - im a starter too and i found quite helpful link{urldescription \as this is the basics}

oops!

hiya misdee!! JM is right it's very addictive.

Argos has some ready packed cards sets to get you started. Lakeland have some too.

I too would suggest a trip to your local craft shop - but i wont be held to blame for all the bits that jump into your basket
