Cards again

[Daffs]

What would you experienced card makers suggest as basic card making beginners kit must haves for the likes of Eastenders and me?

What to spend on next :woot:

lol good thread as i was wondering the same
kate has sent me some beautiful bits so gonna have a go tonight as dp is working so will be on my own :D

[smirnoff]

kate is a fab person to ask.. she recommended some plain cards, some bits to make it pretty, some glue, a computer for printing out words and things and a craft knife..
The children and i are having some fab fun following basic principles and really cheap bits and bobs from wilkinsons - shiny card, foam letters and shapes, some present tie stuff and pritstick or pva type glue.....

a good thing to get are the sticky dots for adding embelishments to your cards

as for basic I would say a good sissors glue foam pads(poundland) a basic card stock (bookworks are a good place)backing papers peel offs
I have a sizzix machine I can cut shapes out with if anyone would like some to have a play with

Alison if you have "The Range" near you go there they have loads of reasonably priced cardmaking stuff.

Look out for the big packs of card blanks they are great prices! Oh and they do starter kits as well for adults! ;)
