Holly Tree

Before we had even managed to make all Lesley's new stamps she already had hundreds of card ideas.
In this card she has used the Design A Tree, greeting from Winter Wonderland Friends and Holly from the Banner set.
The background text is a new stamp we have been working on that will be available very soon.

The Design A Tree set gives you so many options that you could use this one set to make all your Christmas yet make them all look so different.

Fern Green Archival

Lesley created this card using one of the stamp sets (Design A Tree) that she designed and drew herself as well our new Banner set that was inspired and requested by Lesley.
Everything is stamped in the new Archival Fern Green inkpad (we have these in store but not yet on the website).
In the new Archival inkpads we also have a couple of other colours in the shop at the moment.

Snowman Aperture Card


This is one of the adorable snowmen that Lesley designed along with the tree and cute little robin - all from the Winter Wonderland Friends unmounted rubber stamp set.
The snowflake is from our new 3D Snowflake set, the banner is from our new Banners set and the greeting is from our new Greetings Unmounted set.

The cheerful looking Snowman and robin are stamped in Memento black ink and coloured with promarkers, the trees are in Fern Green Archival and the snowflakes are in gold ink.
I'm not sure if you can see the glitter on the snowman and the banner.

The Banners and Greetings set will be appearing in our next Create & Craft show on 8th October as they are ideal for all occasions and not just for Christmas, although Christmas is my personal favourite in the year.

Digital Stamps

Have you seen our digi website?  Digistampaddicts

If you are not sure what digital stamps are then let me explain.  Once you have purchased the digital images you then download them to your computer in a tif file.  With this tif file you can adjust the size of the digistamp in whatever photo editing software you use.  You can then print out the image at the size you require and colour and layer onto your project.  You can use the digistamp over and over again.

If your lose the digistamp from your computer you can log back in to our site and download again.

Perfect Poinsettia

3D Snowflake Card

To make this card we used our new 3D Snowflake stamp set.
You need to stamp the snowflake 7 times.  The snowflake is made up of 8 sections, to create this pop-out card you need to remove one section from each snowflake and then overlap and glue a section to create a complete snowflake.
The 7 snowflakes are only attached together by a glue dot at the points, if you use any more than this it will not pop out of the card.

Distress Alphabet


On one of Lesley's Beach Hut cards she had bordered the Distressed Alphabet letters with a black millenium pen, it makes a big difference to the look of the letters so I have included it on these ones here.

Stamperama 2014

I've just bought my 2014 calendar (sad I know, but I need it already) and the first date I have added is Sunday 9th February 2014 for Stamperama @ Stevenage Arts & Leisure Centre.

Yes, there will be workshops in the hall again but I don't know what they are yet or who will be running them, I may be organised but I'm not that organised!

I do need to say a big THANK YOU to everyone that helped out at the August show in my absence, especially Vicky as she had to step in and run the whole event as well as our stand with only a week to prepare.

I will do my best not to be ill for the next one, although things seem to have run very smoothly without me!
