Christmas Shaker Fabric & Embellie Kit 4 Day Deal

[Rentochops]

Is anyone watching yet another 4 day deal? I am tempted - please persuade me I don't need this!

[Marzipan]

shaker fabric what on earth is that, i would put up the website but its sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo slow!!!

[Rentochops]

Sorry should be Shaker and Fabric, it's a cute kit with fabric cards and gel shaker bubbles and £24.99!

[Wellington]

It's quite pretty & I was very nearly tempted, then I remembered I just got that huge kit from QVC last week with Xmas embellies in it - so I shall be a good girl :D

[Wellington]

Oh buggr - them backing papers are nice...

[Marzipan]

oh dear Welly, Go turn CnC off now before you get tempted again

[Rentochops]

You're meant to be dissuading me..

[Wellington]

Surely we can set up a search between us all for another source of those gel shaker embellishments? I think we've tried when they had everyday ones on a while back

[Marzipan]

that was a while ago though wasnt it maybe other places have them by now

[Rentochops]

Still like the whole kit though!

Do you know what though? I'm greedy & would like more for my money after seeing the Mic kits again this week :D

I know what you mean there just doesn't seem to be enough, well it makes a change to the die cut decoupage and MIC kits I have to say!:p

[Marzipan]

your not greedy you just want your moneys worth!

[Wellington]

If you sit on your hand I think this one may manage a fairly quick sell out ROC, just cos it's different

Ok I'll also watch Charlie Bears on QVC! I'll end up with another bear instead!

[Jeanette]

Now control yourself ROC. You know it'll be reduced in a few weeks!!

[Marzipan]

crafts i have room for bears i think ive ran out of room for!

[Flowerpot]

I liked the cards, but I've soooo much xmas stuff as it is, this kit will have to be a miss.

[Rentochops]

Now control yourself ROC. You know it'll be reduced in a few weeks!!

oh yeah, def not buying then, thanks Temptress in reverse!

[Flowerpot]

forgot to say I like the xmas Pearlidoodles, but will wait until the middle of the night to order... CAUSE I CAN'T GET ON THAT THING THEY CALL A B****Y WEBSITE, aaargh

[Marzipan]

oh dear flowerpot its not that bad is it??!!

[Rentochops]

oh dear flowerpot its not that bad is it??!!

It's got heavy traffic again.....

[Marzipan]

[Wellington]

I've been very tempted by the pearlidoodles - liked the pastel one with the foxy faries & was weighing up the gold/silver/copper (pr bronze?) combo too. Not sure about these Christmas ones

------- edit ---------
If you can, try buying after 11pm when the show's gone off air, might be easier then - & now for my lesson in how to suck eggs :D

[Flowerpot]

Marzipan you're just to nice to um lol... Would love to know though just how many they can get at any one time.

what am i too nice to um flowerpot??? lol

[Dips]

Surely we can set up a search between us all for another source of those gel shaker embellishments? I think we've tried when they had everyday ones on a while back

Welly, I searched everywhere last year when they did a pack of 12 and couldn't find them. I even went onto some international trade sourcing sites and zilch! However, if they are becoming more popular perhaps we'll be able to get them elsewhere. I really like this kit too, but I have sworn to never buy a POD but wait until it is on Extravaganza (and so far, every POD I've wanted has eventually turned up on Extravaganza).

I did like the Zesty pack but now I've seen the xmas set, not sure which to go for now. God why's life so hard :D

[Marzipan]

easy solution BOTH!!! lol not that i am encouraging you to spend of course!

[Flowerpot]

Oh don't, I'm trying (very poorly) not to spend incase something extra lush comes alone.

[Wellington]

After telling hubby with a straight face that I was cutting down I've place 2 orders with C&C - I really shouldn't be getting anything else. Apart from maybe that Keepsake board :rolleyes:

Dips, you are quite right in waiting for Extravaganza prices, but I have a bad feeling about this Xmas kit - it's a little pricey, but also just different enough from all those badly cut decoup/MM/Mic kits they've had on recently to possibly just disappear

[Marzipan]

well i suggest you wait and see if that something extra lush comes along then

[mrsjovi]

I must admit this kit looks good and I'm resisting (at the moment). I'm waiting for Helen Johnson's Crafters Companion show tomorrow - she's demonstrating the Ultimate and I think they are doing a special deal on it. Part of me really wants it but my sensible head is telling me I already have the topscore multiboard and enveloper and a paper trimmer so I don't need it :D

[Marzipan]

you may not need it but that doesnt stop you Wanting it lol

[maisie*daisy]

I know, Welly, I also have a feeling in my bones on this one that it may go and ne'er return, but I have gone and bought the Big Bite tonight. Then there were the 2 Joanne Sheen CD's earlier this week plus the Laser Kit and the Fairy Princess......(plus the Gatineau TSV, I know it's not craft, but it is still £££s:rolleyes:)!

[maisie*daisy]

thanks for the welcome back :)
I came back from my fab holiday in Scotland ...going cold turkey...no internet... and couldnt get on crafttelly...:eek:nearly went into meltdown lol. thank goodness evrything is back up and running
:)

[SUPERCOOLWILLOW]

yep its been a long struggle but the main thing is we are all getting back to normal now

[Phree]

LOL wb maisy - I guess that must have been horrible to come back from holiday and find is gone.

[blarf]

Oh dear, I love the kit too, it's very me (contemporary xmas). I can't, I've been bad this week and bought the fairy princess kit and another set of colour dimensions peel offs (well they were a bargain I couldn't leave them there). I've loved quite a bit of it this week, those embossed vines card/vellums have been calling to me but I'll wait and get a few sheets from ebay.

Hope you haven't gone for those pearlidoodles as they are cheaper from elsewhere. I googled them and found a place selling them for £1.99 a bottle with free p&p, so you could get 4 bottles for the same price as create and craft.

Oooo... thanks for that. Off to investigate. I nearly went for some of those last night. But I thought it best to wait until I didn't have such a sleepy head on...... always dreamily buy too much when I've got my sleepy head on

[Wellington]

Mine are still showing as Back Order :(

[Flowerpot]

Thanks for the link, so pleased I couldn't get on C&Cs website now

[Wellington]

You're a star Virginia :) Now I have another site to peruse :D

For info, we can't post links direct to other forums, but anything like products - especially bargains :D - or just rather lovely tempting sites is no prob.

Cheers

[Rentochops]

By the way Welly, I haven't bought it, i've spent £60 at Madaboutcards instead! LOL

[Wellington]

I was wondering this morning...See now, we had a moan about the price last night, but it's cheaper than $60 at MAC LOL

[SUPERCOOLWILLOW]

lol ROC what you been buying there then lol

[Jeanette]

By the way Welly, I haven't bought it, i've spent £60 at Madaboutcards instead! LOL

I think we need a confessions section. Come on ROC, spill the beans!

[Phree]

A confessions section would certainly keep the forum tidier... but would we ever be able to prize Welly out of there? :D

Me thinks there is a little of pot, kettle and black, young Phree:D

[Phree]

Ahem, I have been very very good I will have you know Ms Dips......

I have not bought anything for AGES....

and my last buy was because hubby MADE me do it....

he had this voucher from eBay you see...... and well it was due to expired and to my delight ..... err sorry I mean chagrin ..... hubby was unable to find anything he wanted to bid on or buy and there was only 1 day left to spend the voucher.....

and I just so happened to notice that someone was offering 6 brand new unopened Kaleidacolor ink pads for the bargain price of £14.99 + £3.95 shipping......

and with the £5 pound eBay voucher that meant a total price of ONLY £12.96 to pay......

and those ink pads are worth £7 quid each....... OK OK I exagerate... typically they retail at £6.95.........


but it would have been a crime not to spend the voucher now wouldn't it??????

and in fact I didn't buy them.......

HUBBY DID on his eBay account..... well he was the one with the voucher you see.........

but by my reckoning that means HE Bought them ..... not me... so I have been even gooder than I thought cuz that means its even LONGER since I bought anything

And that is MY story and I am sticking to it so there :p :p :p

[Wellington]

A confessions section would certainly keep the forum tidier... but would we ever be able to prize Welly out of there?

:p:p:p:p..

[SUPERCOOLWILLOW]

now dips there is a good section

[Flowerpot]

I love the gel shakers, does anyone know if you can buy them else where on there own???

[Marzipan]

i dont think we have been able to find them else where yet Flowerpot

[Rentochops]

I think we need a confessions section. Come on ROC, spill the beans!

erm well, storage boxes (5 - 12x12) and 5 -A4 as usual, then the new Papermania Xmas and Gardens papers and other bits (great chipboard bits), new Do Crafts mag...erm there's 10% off til Monday and they take my VAT off - couldn't be helped. Papermania have some nice new embellies, very Craftybitz....

oh and I'm going to buy those teddy bear stamps from Sharon's site....

I got paid yesterday can you guess - there were some distressing noughts on my CC today, thought they needed something to keep them company..

[SUPERCOOLWILLOW]

wow ROC you have been busy

[Jeanette]

Sounds great ROC!!!

[Rentochops]

Sounds great ROC!!!

Papermania have relaunced themselves and promise good things, I know they are not for everybody but I still think the whole Do Crafts range offers great value for money!

They are distibuting for Basic Grey and Doodlebug as well, two of my fave brands (chekout the archaic Basic Gray range if you or your kids love dinosuars - I will post in the gallery, I'm going to do a bit of photography of my recent cards tomorrow.

I can never quite make my mind up about PM....I will however check out this range as you instruct cos DS likes the odd dino or 2 - & so do I for that matter :D

[Jeanette]

I agree that PM do offer great value for money. I bought quite a lot from them when I first started. Sadly I haven't bought much from them since except 1 sheet of speciality vellum recently. I quite like the new speciality paper and vellum ranges. Hopefully they'll expand on them and maybe do some packs instead of individual sheets
