Been offered a lightbox for £3.50.... do i really need one?

Gonna get the glue gun and stamp i have been offered just umming and ahhhing over the light box

just a thought. ignore meif iam completely out of line here..
i know you have bought a lot of crafty stuff recently. are you getting the use out of it?

oh god yes..... using it EVERY night, have made in the region of 110 cards now..... planning to get to 150 and then off to the local car boot to flog them!

Its not so much the selling of them, its the actual doing them. I really enjoy it and find it so relaxing!

most of what i have bought has been card/paper and ribbon..... other than the sizzix which i LOVE to bits.

in that case, i am completely jealous.
i love making cards. but simply cant fiind the time. how do you do it with two little ones.

Both littlies in bed by 7pm! (and both sleep through!)

Oh and DH does some too..... some of his are better than mine

A light box will come in handy if you like dry embossing. I have one and it gets a fair amount of use. £3.50...you can't go wrong really!

i dont know what dry embossing is......

You switch the light box on, put a stencil on top, add some paper/light card on top of theat, and use a ball pen thingy to make raised pictures or letters on the card. It's quite subtle and pretty really. I don't use mine all the time, but lettering is nice through coloured vellum.

oooooh..... like the sound of that..... right, sod it, gonna get it!

Get some thin card too...thick card doesn't let the light through. The range do some funky stencils for not much money.

oh god... not THAT place again..... i spend FAR too much money in there!
