where can i get a sizzix that doesnt cost the earth? and are they really worth it?

[stitch]

thats it really. love doing artyfarty things, as my sister calls it. and you lot talk so much about sizix, thought id get in on it too.

I'm trying to be good and only buying things I need NOT what looks nice
I wanted to fill a box at the Paper Mill Shop yesterday but managed to walk away as I have only used about 15 sheets of my last box !!

Crafting is dangerously addictive though !!!

Whizz I like the sound of this filling your boots thingy

Is the paper top notch or do they use rubbish ones as fillers

Aaaaah, thats where the marble effect came from, and the cork effect....am I correct.

Yes and yes UCM !
Thw white marble stuff however was about 50p for a huge amount - Long thin strips rolled up. I think I have used about 1 tiny bit !!
The 'cork' stuff was again in a pack for about 1.50. That has been quite handy.

Went to Craft Central today at my local garden centre & bought a lovely pack of 30 A5ish sheets of foily stuff - changes colour red/green/purple when youlook at it from different angles - very pretty and only 1.50
Thought it would look cool for lettering

Paper / card quality looks OK to me by the way - as you fill your own box - you have have a good look at colours & thickness before you buy. Some are plain & some are textured. You can get A5 or A4 size
