That looks really handy and if you think you'll use the stuff in there then go for it. there's some stuff I wouldn't use though, so it really is personal preference, and you could get quite a bit for that amount. If it suits oyu though go for it.

Do remember when buying stuff (I used to fall for this one a LOT) that stamps and punches etc can be reused over an dover again, but stickers / ribbons run out FAST. These days, I ahve enough in my stash that all I need buy is glue card and paper and there's always a stamp to suit.... course, I DON'T only buy those things Blush

I've just put a final call out for the MN caft swap, not sure if your name is down but if not why not join in? If you put starter stuff in your e-mail your buyer can remember that.

Do a search on Do Craft suppliers in your area put your post code in and it will list all the shops that sell Do Craft in your area. They do a lot of reasonably priced items for cardmaker, punches,stamps etc.

redbull...I wouldnt recommend the HOTP kit....its overpriced for a start!
Do as Carolinett suggests and look on the docrafts site for your local stockist.....you will get so much more for your money They have a starter set for about £14.99 which I have heard is good for newbies.Smile

I love HOTP stuff,you won't get that designer feel with do crafts stuff that you do with HOTP.I think it's pretty good,although could you beat them down on the p&p.Their kits are put together very well so you get a certain look to your cards.I love the card quotes and they give suggestions on how to use them.I've made very pretty cards using their papers and tags.It's good quality stuff.Do crafts stuff,and it's only my opinion,is how can I say it it's kind of common in a totally snobby way of course.I do have a couple of their stamps though.

After saying that you can get their stuff separately quite well priced if you have The Range.Their card Ideas Book is fab.
