Burlap Wreath

As soon as I saw this wreath in the new Spring /Summer catalogue I fell in love with it!  I know that some of my customers can't afford to buy everything they need to create something so beautiful all at once so to have it come in a kit form for the great price of £15.95 I knew they would sell fast, and they have.  Everything you need to create a wreath exactly like the one I made in the photo above is included in the kit along with all the instructions.  They look beautiful when finished.

If you would like to order one the catalogue number is 133333 and you can order directly from my shop by pressing the button below.

Have a great day creating

A new Die to "die" for

My mother in law recently moved into her new flat and I wanted to make her something that was personal to her.  She doesn't like pink anything, including flowers, so I used the wonderful new spiral flower die in the spring summer catalogue to create some beautiful roses in yellows and oranges.  I bought the hearts from Sainsburys in the sale for about £2.50!  The die is so easy to use and you can cut out up to 4 sheets of card at the same time so it's really quick to make the flowers.

I used the a glue gun to keep the bottom of my roses together and to attach them to my heart.  The die is such great value at just £15.95.   I have used it every day since I got it so be warned, there are going to be a lot of posts coming your way with roses on!

Let me know what you think.

A 50th Birthday card

My sister in law was 50 this week and I wanted to make her a card that was special to mark the occassion.

I used the Thinlet Circle set to create the card they are so quick and easy to use but make such lovely cards.  I used the Papillion Potpourri Butterfly stamp set and the butterfly punch along with the scalloped circle thinlet that comes in the set.

On the other side of the circle I stamped the number 50 and used the scalloped circle thinlet again.

To make it even more special I used the remaining patterned paper to create  matching envelope using the fantastic new envelope punch board.  

Making cards using this set of thinlets is very easy and they are so versatile.  Everything I have used today is available from my online shop, there is a supply list below.

Have a great day

Another Christmas Card

This is a very quick and easy card to make, the only time consuming thing was cutting out the wreath. I embossed the wreath using clear embossing powder and it really made it shine.  I then cut it out using my super sharp paper snips.  I thank ran some crumb cake through the Big Shot using the Pretty Print Embossing Folder.  I then stamped onto some Cherry Cobbler cardstock using one of the stamp from the Christmas Messages stamp set.  I then mounted the crumb cake onto a white card base and then used dimensionals to raise the wreath and the littlle robin to add dimension to the card.

I then stamped the greeting using another of the Christmas Messages stamp set at the bottom

I find that as I have to make so many cards for Christmas I like to find cards that look good but don't take forever to make.  I plan on making a few more this afternoon as it's such a miserable day here.

Enjoy your crafting
