gosh how boring was this OTO - they didn't have any A5 it seems, just daft sizes, they always seem to have dead boring craft OTO's!

I would have bought it if the sizes had been better as I t was a good weight but I never use c6 or small square

That was the same as the 2 sets I got from C&C the other week - & about the same price once p&p is added, so I was too bothered.
I don't purposefully buy many blank pre-scored cards - but I found the sets great for making 'production line' christmas cards or quickie one offs like the new baby boy card I suddenly have to do this week (got the papers at the side of me as I type :D)

Did anybody buy this set of blank cards?
Mine have arrive this morning and the sizing is different from the QVC information :confused:
The square cards were listed as 12.5cm and 15cm - what I have received is 9.5cm and 12.5cm.
I've never used 9.5cm cards before because they really are quite tiny - on a plus side though, they won't use too much materials to decorate them :D

If the sizes are wrong blueshowbizz, you could always send them back - you shouldn't have to pay p&p for QVC's mistake, I wouldn't have thought.
Oh and welcome to Craft Telly :D

Thanks Winspiration - I'm a very novice crafter and wasn't sure if I was maybe expecting the wrong sizes - I'm quite happy with the 3 larger sizes so will probably keep them and use up the smaller ones for other things :D

Hi LipstickCherry / Anne / Elsie
I'm not a crafter yet - I've made about 6 cards in my lifetime but bought a stamp kit from the last craft day on QVC and decided to make my Christmas Cards this year :eek:
I've been reading all the posts on here and deciding that I 'NEED' some of the items that have been mentioned (even though I don't have a clue what to do with them) - I pass a craft shop on my way home at night and you can almost see the staff thinking 'here she comes again' when I pop in with a scribbled list looking for different pens and powders :p

The one I have been visiting gave me a loyalty card on Friday - they must see some potential in me :D
I'm thinking about plucking up the courage to go to one of their card making classes :eek:

We have a loyalty card too!
I would absolutely go to a class to learn a new skill. You'll probably find that you're the youngest there, but it's so much easier to learn with someone who really knows what they're doing than by just looking at a magazine or watching the telly. Lots of luck with it!

When I was there on Friday I was trying to listen in while a girl was booking one of the card making classes to find out some details.
Next time I'm in I'll ask for a timetable and more details and hopefully one of the classes will suit me :)

Most people who work in craft shops are crafters themselves and will be only too willing to help and advise someone who is new to it - we just love to chat about our love of crafting. Go for it BSB, and let us know how you get on. :)

Hi Blueshowbizz - big warm welcome to CT.com :)
I've been reading all the posts on here and deciding that I 'NEED' some of the items that have been mentioned (even though I don't have a clue what to do with them)
Don't worry, that happens to all of us on CT.com - we have some experts in tempting you to part with your cash for yummy stash :D
I'm thinking about plucking up the courage to go to one of their card making classes :eek:
Go for it!! I keep hoping that some classes will start a bit closer to home for me cos I basically craft on my own apart from when my SIL comes round for a glass of wine & to watch me cuttiing & glittering :D
