Hi everyone!
I too am a rubber stamper/card maker as well as indulging in clay, cross stitch (very rarely), glass etching, candle making, metal embossing, paper making, and various other things that I can't even think of now LOL.
I have my own room in the house that is dedicated entirely to my crafty stuff, although it tends to migrate to other rooms in the house, much to the hubby's disgust!
I also have my own line of embossing powders which I sell verrrrry cheap as compared to the stores! I'll be posting some on ebid soon, I'm just waiting for some kilos I ordered to come in!
I'm on a card-making group on yahoo called Creative Cards, it's an international group. We have over 1000 members and everyone there is wonderfully nice and we love to trade tips and techniques. The group does generate TONS of email though! We also have a swap group so that you can share your creations with others in the group.
Shelly... for folding creases you can get a special tool called a bone folder, or a Lace folding tool (that's 'lah-say' with an accent on the e but I'm too lazy to figure out how to do the accent thingy lol).
Sizzix is a die cutting machine with special dies that cut shapes from your cardstock/paper. You can check out the dies and other products available @ www.sizzix.com.
