Ellison alphabets and other dies

Don't know if anyone is interested, but Ellison (www.ellisondesign.co.uk) have a fantastic sale on at the moment. I have just bought a complete alphabet for £23 instead of £89!!! How's that for a discount - that's 35 dies, lower and upper case. I already have three alphabets, but there are always others I want of course and this was such a good bargain it would have been rude not to buy one. Managed to get one Mia has been looking for (at a good price) for about 18 months, so I am top-mumty today!!!

Which alphabets do you recommend Patty? I only have the one and would like another. Maybe smaller to go on cards.

Well the most useful of all is, I think, SCRIPT which has the letters (quite small) and then a "shadow" to go behind so you can do two different colours, etc. I also have ROUND TABLE which is a big bold and wonderful one for titles, etc. and also Curlie Girlie which is thinnish, medium sized and very useful again for titles. If I could have only the one, then it would defo be Script and all my craft club people feel the same way too, not just me. Maria has Script too.

AW too late, lol. I have ordered the following. Which I like the look of.

Thought man oh man would be good for males and I like the sproutsies font which I hope canbe used without the flowers too. I am well chuffed for that price. Having it delivered to school too so hopefully I will be in, lol. Are they quite quick to deliver?

Yup - you can use just about anything in the bug!

Beat me to it Claire - that's why I love my Cuttlebug so much - you can use just about anything at all in them! At my craft club, there's one CB and everyone just brings their dies (all varieties even Quickcutz) and share them all! Great fun.

Obviously, you're the experts, so I shall bow to your superior knowledge.

Got myself some.

Well, how's this for convoluted accounting? I am on a stash diet, so did not go to an All Day crop today, costing £20 and including lunch, because I knew there was an excellent shop also coming to the crop and also knew I would spend some loot there too! So ... my accountant brain said that's at least £30 I have saved, so I will spend £28 of it on a new alphabet ... that's actually a saving of £2!!!!! Well - that's my thinking anyway!

Yep. Just how my brain would work too, Patty.

sounds great. Wish i had the energy to look at them today.

will probably miss what i want.

love the way you are thinking patty,,,a true crafter indeed

I ordered an alphabet before new year and had an email saying it won't be despatched until 14th jan cos of a huge back log of orders.

You are a bad woman! I have just bought loads of stuff, can't wait for it to get here LOL

i have just spent £50+ on 2 x alphas( bloom and monkey tails) , a button die , a bigz flower die , a bookplate die,a library pocket die
thanks for the link patty

Ooh I'm very tempted, off to have a look and see how much funds I've got. Would love some more alphabets.

Well I decided that as I had saved £548 on my tooth I was going to comfort myself with those. I spent £26 odd with postage which is nothing considering what I got.

I have actually got a Tag alphabet I want to sell, which I never use. It is a Cuttlebug one with each upper case letter in a tag shape and then lower case letters too and, of course, the upper case letter that is cut out when you do the tag shape! Clear as mud, eh? If anyone should want to see what it looks like, I could send them a piccy.

why not put the pic and etails in the car boot section Patty, then we can all oggle it

OK Goaty - will do it in the morning. Off to watch a bit of TV with Ken now!

Not too hot on delivery are they?

no , apparently dawn just got hers that she ordered i think she said new years time

i saw on uk.s that order number 12492 had been sent so they are getting to them , i bet they were inundated , i still have a couple of 100 to go yet for my order number

bl**dy hell!!!!! I've a couple of hundred to go too.

I'm wondering if it was worth it for all this waiting. Not used to waiting. *sulk - major sulk*

Well you might get something useful in the next few days, just to tide you over LOL, not quite Ellison tho

I take it back. Mine arrived this morning.
I got:
Lime Light
Sunset
Lipstick Love Letters

Isn't that always the way. Something new to play with, but no time. Not good
for a crafter.
