Better than half price wonderland/around the world kit

[DianaDreads]

Eek, just found this little bargain http://www.createandcraft.com/MultiBuy_Fantasy_Wonderland_Kit_%40a_129923.aspx?s earch=wonderland - wonder if it's for the forthcoming craft extravaganza show?
Absolutely livid about this now, I paid full price when it was a potd and I was feeling flush :mad:
I haven't looked for any other bargains but am off now - fingers crossed for the foxy fairy and last wonderland kits!
ETA just found this too http://www.createandcraft.com/Decoupage_Set_827284.aspx?nav=1&profileId=2107277#productdescription
Or you can just buy around the world on its own http://www.createandcraft.com/Around_the_World_127511.aspx?nav=1&profileId=2095458
card kits http://www.createandcraft.com/Multibuy_Generic_DIY_Card_-_Makes_130592.aspx?search=multibuy
For some reason the bear necessity multibuy has reappeared at a great price but shows up as out of stock when you try to buy it http://www.createandcraft.com/ProductPage.aspx?PageId=&id=508084&profileId=2097717&search=multibuy

Some good bargins there thanks. I was interested in the traditional teddy bears, but too expensive at the time.:cool:

[Rentochops]

Wow amazing reductions!:rolleyes:

[Jeanette]

Amazing bargains. Thanks DD

[chrissie]

Thank you for posting all those bargains DD.:)
Yes, looks like the Foxy Fairy kit has been reduced too!
Down from £29.99 to 21.99!

[chrissie]

Probably being a bit dim here but is the wonderland multibuy for both of the wonderland kits as well as the around the world one?
If so that is an AMAZING price.
I wonder if there will be free p&P on the Craftathon, although the wonderland kits have reduced p&p so perhaps not?

Thats how it reads to me!!

[chrissie]

Thank you Jeanette - seems an amazing bargain doesn't it?

[Chess]

I wonder if there will be free p&P on the Craftathon, although the wonderland kits have reduced p&p so perhaps not?

There's an awful lot of stuff marked at £2.90 P&P on the website just now - I wonder if that's preparation for the Craftathon? I hope not, but although I suspect they got their fingers burnt on the last Craft Day but one when they didn't have free P&P, maybe this is their way of getting SOMEthing out of it!! Keep the fingers crossed I'm wrong!

[DianaDreads]

Hi chrissie, yes the kit is 2 wonderlands and 1 around the world as I had it when it was full price. It was bad enough watching it slowly come down in price as seperate items without them reducing it to this.
Now I'm tempted to get another set ;)
Thanks for finding the foxy kit, it wasn't there when I searched for 'foxy' earlier, gotta love a website that doesn't let you find anything!
I noticed the p&p was cheaper too, though tbh I'd be qualifying for the capped postage :D

[Marzipan]

i must not look i must not look!!!!

[chrissie]

Thank you DD. Seems a terrific bargain for 3 kits. I've had the wonderland kits multibuy & they are lovely.
I know how you're feeling about paying the full price, then it being reduced a few months later, which is why I've been keeping track of the FF kit waiting for it to be reduced.:p

The Foxy Fairy kit wasn't on the website last week, I emailed them to ask if they'd allocated it another item no- then a couple of days later it appeared. Since then it's been playing hide & seek, so kept the link.

I thought the same as you Chess - let's hope we're both wrong! :)

[chrissie]

i must not look i must not look!!!!

Ha! Bet you already have!!!:p

[Dips]

Right-o, Bargain Hunters. I'm after a couple of things from the Craft Week so if anyone catches sight of:
- The Christmas Ball ex-7 Day Deal
- The Christmas Shaker Cards ex-4 Day Deal
- The Decoupage Card Kit ex-POD with the big 8" cards, was demo'd by that newish lady

can they please let me know. I didn't note the item numbers and we had them on here in a thread, but, of course, it was all lost in the Big Bang!

Also, terribly cheeky, but can someone post on here when they spot that it's gone to free P&P on the website - I'll be at work so I won't be able to see on the telly, but I do pop into here on a regular basis! Sorry to be asking others to do so much, I'm not lazy really!!!

Well of course we will, now, what can I get you to drink and do you want ice with it!! :D

[Dips]

Nice Pimms wouldn't go amiss, Julie, plenty of ice and fruity bits, please!

In my (rather poor) defense, I did have an excellent CAC bargain thread on the old site, and did always share my finds with my buddies on here. Lol, Julie, I think I'm getting a bit too bossy now that I'm back doing a "proper" job - doesn't help that one of my team calls me "Lady Boss" - or, at least, that's what he calls me to my face!

[Julie]

Canapes ??? :)

[Dips]

Caviare, of course, Julie - did you need to ask:D?

[Marzipan]

can i have some champers served by a sexy naked man???

[Julie]

Well here come the canapes

ooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhh but hes not naked julie!!!

[Julie]

Sorry Diana !!!!!

Back to topic now

[SUPERCOOLWILLOW]

woah those are good prices

Ok, keep going folks - some lovely reduced Elusive Images plates please :D

I had a nosey on the Sky EPG this afternoon & couldn't see any listings for Extravaganza shows, but there must be some somewhere...

I haven't quite got to grips with this new fangled site yet, but I'm willing to have a practice while looking for bargains LOL

[DianaDreads]

Did you get some of the reduced bits from Graphicus Welly? I can't find the original thread now but I think Phree or maybe dips started it?
Luckily it's my birthday soon so my sister got me the large and small damask plates. I'm still tempted by the pair of butterfly plates and the mini mezze paints but I've already got 2 packs and have never opened them!
I detest the new c&c site even more than the old one and I'm determined to seek out as many decent bargains as I can :D

[DianaDreads]

According to the iw site there is a craft preview show tomorrow at 11am and an extravaganza at 11pm on Thursday.
We're going to the outlaws on Thursday for at least 10 days so I don't think I'll get to watch much at all :(

[Wellington]

I haven't got the reduced plates yet - still sorely tempted but I felt the call of Winspiration's new Kanban bits a little too strong to resist LOL

I see a lot of these sale bits are now being listed under the Clearance Sections, not necessarily under the sections you'd think they might be in of course, cos that's mean you could actually find the bliddy stuff :rolleyes:

Excellent - from that I think we'll be able to suss what's going on with the P&P. I'd also spotted the Thurs extravaganza show.

Thanks for putting in all these links DD - will have a proper look when I'm eating my lunchtime salad (still full from last night's canapes,lol)!

[chrissie]

You know, I wouldn't be surprised if it's a mixture of p&p charges, as I've just had a quick look & things like some of the glues & foam pads are coming up free p&p.
I really hope that I'm wrong, but think that they will mix it up a bit so they can recoup some of their costs, especially on the sale things.

Thank you for posting all those fab links DD.
The fairy kit at £10 was my very first craft purchase & was £30 + p&p.
When the other wonderland kits became available, I had those as well, while they were lovely, the quality wasn't as good as that very first kit IMO. So think I will get that & the FF kit providing the p&p is fair.

[chrissie]

It's looking hopeful for the free p&p don't you think? Everything on air for this hour is p&p free. Fingers crossed that it will be the whole website later!

[Dips]

Can anyone remember the number for these:
- The Christmas Ball ex-7 Day Deal
- The Christmas Shaker Cards ex-4 Day Deal
- The Decoupage Card Kit ex-POD with the big 8" cards, was demo'd by that newish lady
They were all shown in Craft week!

MTIA

[Wellington]

Can anyone remember the number for these:

- The Christmas Shaker Cards ex-4 Day Deal



If you mean that nice kit with the gel shaker packs, fabric snowmen, aperture cards etc, the one we all quite liked, but thought was a teeny bit pricey, then I noted the number down last week as 137096 from a pre-recorded trailer that was shown during POTD/Craft Day/Howard has picked his nose day (whatever they were doing last week) - but it's not pulling up any results ATM. So either I noted it down wrong (highly possible) or they've hidden it (also highly possible).

[nicecupoftea]

I've had a look thorugh but I can't see them. Have just found some Christmas stamps I like the look of though...

As a warning to all Create and Craft viewers Gwyneth is due on sometime this week with her Aladins Cave CD :eek: I've made sure not to record any of the CD shows listed in case.

[DianaDreads]

Sorry Dips, I had all these on my old mobile but it died and all the codes for coveted items have gone :(
I tried the code on my xmas ball kit packaging last week and it didn't work then but I forgot to note it down and now the 2 packets have gone to my mum and sister as we ended up going thirds on the multibuy.
If it comes back at much cheapness I will definitely get another set :D :eek: :rolleyes:

[Wellington]

BTW, on the bargains front, 819102 (http://www.createandcraft.com/Box_Set_of_4_Christmas_Rubber_Stamps_819102.aspx?s earch=819102) set of 4 Christmas stamps is a bliddy good deal which I may go for. It looks very much like Kodomo & I haven't found these sets for much less than a tenner elsewhere - I treated myself to this Wedding set (http://www.stamps.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=2366) & this New Baby (http://www.stamps.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=2368) set for under a fiver each (with my C&C discount) when they were in the Clearance section on C&C a few months back. Love 'em

[DianaDreads]

Ooh, I like those too but I REALLY DON'T NEED ANY MORE CHRISTMAS STAMPS!!!
I will keep repeating this until I believe it :o

Had the christmas set in my basket, but taken them out, i really dont need anymore christmas stamps and when i checked the sizes the squarer ones are quite small, although they are vey lovely and i still do like them :D

That's exactly the one, Welly! I think that we are probably one event too soon for these to be reduced - probably the next mega-event thingy

Now that's just bad luck, isn't it, as these were also on our old, dearly beloved "bag-a-bargain" thread before Big Bang. But it is also the Xmas Ball kit that I'm interested in.

My list is all written down on a lovely glimmery piece of stardream offcut, but is sat on my desk at home not at work, lol!

[Rentochops]

I like the Safuri Decoupage that is goind to be on, already got it from Crafty Bargains. Quite a nice Dufex kit too.

[Dips]

I think that the link below is an A-Z index of every product that is on the CAC website, however, you need to know exactly what they called the item that you are interested in

[jeanfan]

I didn`t need them but my Granddaughter has now got her Christmas presents - if I can part with them!

[DianaDreads]

Those pens are fantastic, I was lucky enough to get the whole set off eBay for £8.00 last year. I wish I hadn't seen them really as I'm getting tempted to buy a spare set! :eek:
They are definitely still adding stuff to the website as when I searched 'multibuy' last night only 3 items came up and this time I got 4 pages of bits so I'll keep checking for the midsummer wonderland kit etc :D

Ian, can you remember when they had a craft week about 6-8 weeks ago? One of the POD deals that week was a Christmas card kit that included some larger cards with squidgy Christmas shaker aperture cards in it. Can you remember that one? It's just you're so good at finding stuff - especially when they change the blinking item nos, grrrr!

Also, is it me or does anyone else find it really hard to see what's in the pictures on the new site?

Have to say I bought this kit.The large cards with silver foil on are brilliant quality. I also love the fluffy snowmen. these are all made up to use as cards for family & triends because I like them so much :) If they do reduce it I mught be tempted to buy more.There is loads left over once the cards are made

[Wellington]

Also, is it me or does anyone else find it really hard to see what's in the pictures on the new site?

Actually, I can get the pics to enlarge on the new site - never worked for me before - so technically I can see them better than before :D

But - if it's on the IW site rather than C&C, you can't get your club discount :mad: And of course you can't ring to place the order cos the same prob applies...

I've always wanted this kit - but you guys did a good job of persuading me it was teeny bit expensive last time - but as you say MD it would be worth gettind it at say £14.99!

[Dips]

Perhaps it will be reduced for the next one that's, oh, only 10 days away, lol!

[nicecupoftea]

Just been on the website again. Still not bought anything - don't know how long I can last out for. Spotted something else this morning I like the look of... :rolleyes: Why did it have to be a Craftathon? I'm sure I'm going to break before Friday.

I've only stocked up on pinflair glue gel... I seem to be going through lots!
Just noticed that they were selling the Ellison dies alphabet sets for £10 :eek: I think they ususally retail for about £40 a set!!! Needless to say they are sold out :(

[Anne]

Never used silicone glue before. Can anyone tell me the difference between regular silicone glue and the Pinflair glue. MTIA. :)

[Sandra]

The pinflair glue doesn't go rock hard in the tube or the syringe. I have wasted to many tubes of silicone because of that reason.

[Anne]

Thanks Sandra. :)

Can anyone tell me what the quality of these kits and the fantasy wonderland ones are like. Seem an incredible price for you get, but am I going to be disapointed with the quality? Is the printing quality poor or the paper very flimsy?

CS, I've not got these particular kits but I have had the Oriental and the Teddy kit. The quality is good, it is not excellent but nor is it poor. For example, it is not the same as say Kay & Co. However, I personally think these kits are very good value for money when they are at extravanza prices but equally I would not pay the normal £30 POD price for them, as if I was spending £30 on a single kit, I'd spend it on something from K&Co or equivalent. Hope that has helped.

[Anne]

Oh yes, thanks Welly, I think I remember Julie mentioning that somewhere.
