Hey.
Just wondering if any of you have ever tried cardmaking and stuff. I was thinking about maybe opening another website to sell things like this.
Not totally sure yet though.

I was just wondering if anyone knew where i could get things to make them with from. Ideas?

Also i was thinking about making jewellery and stuff. And again have no idea where to get the .. bits and bobs from.

Does anyone know any good websites.

I know ebay will probably do something like this.
But i'm just looking for more than one place.

Thannnnnks =]

No way hand made stuff go Etsy all the way.

I love this place and you open up your own little stores and sell you own hand crafted items _smile.gif

http://www.etsy.com

Oh and I make homemade cards and scrap booking pages _smile.gif I'm learning how to make my own journals out of old books currently.


Oh and to get ideas go there as well. For the items to make it hmm, i suggest just going to a craft store such as Michaels or Hobby Lobby, AC Moore I think is the other one o_O and they have plenty of crafty stuff. Jewelry making I bet you can ask one of the employees about that and search around google.

Or if you live in the UK, Hobbycraft is great for getting crafty supplies.

My cousin makes handmade cards and sells them on - she's really good. She uses rubber stamps and ink and then uses techniques like embossing on the ink.

I used to make little birthday cards whereby I'd twirl a thin strip of card using a little tool, let it unravel a bit into a swirl and then glue them down to make pictures. I know there's a name for that but I can't think right now.

There's all sorts you could try. I guess it's just a matter of finding out which technique you like best or are good at.

I wish I could do more stuff like this, but I never have time, haha. Deffinately check out some craft stores, magazines, and websites. I'm sure you'd be able to find a forum for crafters too.
