Beautiful Blossom - Milk & Gold

Hello Crafters

It's a gorgeous Saturday so I thought I'd show you a gorgeous variation on the Snowflakes Card I made on TV the other day,..

If I'm honest, I actually made this one first, then thought it would be fab as a Christmas card too :-)

This is one of the advantages of having the frame stamps, from any of my stamp collections,.. they are soooo useful and so many ways to use them!

This card was made using my Blossom Collection and using just Milk cardstock and gold detail embossing powder... simple, yet really rather nice together :-)

Can I just tell you, before I forget,

I will be doing a demo day at Chloe's Creative Cards on August 14th (day before my birthday!)

Chloe is my mate so I am really looking forward to checking out how tidy her work space is in there (ha ha)

If you are in or can get to Durham, here is the address:
Unit 42 Dragonville Industrial Park, Dragon Lane, Durham, DH1 2XU

It's funny isn't it,.. to think this card started as just plain Milk cardstock and gold embossing powder,... 
I think this is why I love crafting,.. blank canvas every time :-)

Here is what I used (with links to them on my www in case you 'need' them)
Milk Foundations Cardstock
Sentimentally Yours Blossom Large Circle Frame Stamp
Sentimentally Yours Blossom Sentiment Banners Stamps
Delicate Daisies - Complete Petals - Dies by Sue Wilson
Delicate Fronds Dies by Sue Wilson
Double Pierced Circles Dies by Sue Wilson (my new faves!)
Swirling Hearts Embossing Folder by Sue Wilson
Cosmic Shimmer Bright Gold Detail Embossing Powder
Cosmic Shimmer Glitter Jewels - Iced Snow
(As always, I only use Cosmic Shimmer dries clear PVA glue, Perfect Medium pad and an anti static bag)

Anyhoo,.. here is the card :-)

Well, I can't believe it's just after 4pm already... where did today go?! Come to think of it, where has this week gone?!

Anyway, two bits of important information...

Demo Day
I should have been having a demo day in the shop tomorrow, but I have had to reschedule it for next Sunday (28th) The times are the same (10:30 til 4pm) and I will give you more details when I get back from Create & Craft next Tuesday evening :-)

Craftathon
This also means I have had to reschedule my Craftathon that should have been next Sunday, this will now be on August 18th (I'm really sorry I can't do it any sooner, but I'm away for the weekend at the beginning of August and as soon as I get back from that, I'm at The Great British Craft Festival for the weekend!)
If you are booked onto this Craftathon, I will automatically move you to the new date, if you can't make that, please let me know asap either by phoning the shop or drop me an email.. link here --- email

That's all for now, as I said, I will update you on the demo day next Tuesday evening :-)

Create & Craft/Ideal World Shows for next week...

Good Evening Everyone

Well, it will be a busy week at Create & Craft and Ideal World next week.... with two amazing new launches!

First up is the Hunkydory Christmas Blockbuster (Anne-Marie is launching on Tuesday night at 9pm - don't miss it!) 

I will be there on Wednesday and Saturday .... This Blockbuster (as you'd expect) is amazing! 

Beautiful designs, stunning quality and so much of it! 

It's always a pleasure working with such great quality products! I always spend an hour just looking at the kits, before I can decide what to use as they are all fab! lol

Times and dates of my shows are on the sidebar to your right -----}

Then, on Thursday night it's a brand new launch of some uber cute Serif Digikits, Fizzy Moon (you've probably seen Fizzy in the shops before, well, now you can create your own masterpieces with the lovely character!)

This show is even more exciting for me as I'll be sharing the slots with my mate, Sarah Hurley!! :o)

We are mixing & matching for this special POD and you'll see us both on most of the hours and just myself for some... excited much! :o)

Times and dates of these shows are also on my sidebar to your right -----}

Anyhoo - I've got my Demo Day in my shop (Honeypot Crafts) this Sunday (16th) before all that, there will be melt potting, enamelling, metal magicking, gleaming and moulding (in a crafty sense!) lol

I'm starting at 10:30 and finishing at 4pm so hope you can pop along for an hour or so... 

Details are on my shops' Facebook Page - link on the sidebar to (you guessed it! lol) your right -----}

Have a great weekend everyone.... I know I will!

Happy Crafting!

Monochrome Fancy Box and Note Cards

Good Morning Everyone

Just a quick post this morning as I've got a list of jobs as long as my leg to be getting on with!

I wanted to show you my latest Fancy Note Card Box... I absolutely love making these so thought, after the last 'batch' proved so popular, that I would make a monochrome version in Black & White..

Just so you know, the stamp I have used is the Indigo Blu Vintage Flourish, which you can get here .. It's one of my personal faves and sells out every time I get it in the shop!

The punches I've used to create the flowers are by Woodware and Tonic..

Tonic Ones are here..

Woodware ones are here ...

Anyhoo... Here are the photos!

Remember it's my Demo Day in the shop this Sunday, 12th May... details are here 

Happy Crafting!
