IsobelJ Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Have you tried Lakeland?http://www.lakelandlimited.com/ and look at creative crafts Our Bricomarche has a lot of 'bits' too but I think that may vary from shop to shop.

Patter Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Lakelands is good, the service is quick, creatand craft are hit and miss on delivery, or another one is liz-craft, also good service, if you are after small amounts then look around the ffrench shops or ask friends in England to post you things tricia bI order mine from lakelands and liz, and wait until I am back in the u.k. and buy there.

Tourangelle Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 There is a fantastic chain of craft shops called Loisirs et création which sell all sorts of things for card making, but they are few and far between, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redcap Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 I have been making my own cards for ages and have big supply of cardmaking equipment. Please contact me by email and I can tell you all my secrets. Better than Lakeland.Jess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAWDGawd Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Su at www.boiteadelices.com will be running an on-line store for crafting material (Scrapbooking, cards etc ) from March this year. So it won't matter where you are in France you'll be able to have it sent to your door.Worth keeping an eye on. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sclarke2208 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 As a cardmaker here in the UK, I tend to buy from Hobbycrafts stores. However, I have found that ebay.co.uk have a section under crafts-cardmaking. There are people on there who have ebay shops and their prices are very keen. I have not been disappointed yet!Good Luck ( I shall be over there in the near future as a permanent resident all being well) and so I shall be using ebay myself quite a lot. sandra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAWDGawd Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Hi to all I've just taken a look at www.boiteadelices.com and it looks as if its fully up and working. So you now have a place to shop online here in France for your scrapbooking and card making materials. Site is in English and French ..... worth a look. Happy Crafting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katieb Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 In the Uk i made handmade cards and sold to families and work colleagues, i also managed to have a small supply in a local cafe and shop, however, since moving to France, i have been unable to sell any cards - i love making them but there are only so many you can send to friends and family. The choice of cards here in the shops is appalling - i can't bear to pay 3-4 euros on a tacky card. Does anybody have any useful tips on marketing your cards? i imagine you would have to registered to sell them - you'd have to sell several hundred cards though to make it worthwhile! I pondered over the idea of having a market stall from which to sell them - but it's hard to "test the water" without the legal requirements. I have also found it impossible to approach small shops to see if they are willing to sell some cards - language is the major barrier. I have ordered supplies from a UK company - something like Handy hippo - cheap and very efficiant postage rates.Kate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poppy Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Have seen handmade cards selling well in Spanish markets with large English resident /holidaymaker population.I bought lots last year to cover requirements this year only to find La Poste are now selling good quality cards in the 2 to 3 euro bracket..Perhaps you need to find outlets in areas dominated by English habitants/tourists.Good LuckJan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
