Quick Floral Birthday Card

Hi everyone and thank you so much for stopping by on the blog today. I have a simple, chipboard stashed card on the blog which I would love to share with you all.

My former boss Gemma had a birthday last week, so I decided to send her a card. Gemma was my boss for 5 years and she went on to work for another organisation last Summer. I always remember that her birthday is in March and unbelievably for a crafter / card maker I would be able to remember birthdays without some sort of reminder - and this doesn't always happen! But I remembered this time - so that was lucky! 

I created a chipboard floral card with a few embellishments with the help of my trusty label maker for the sentiment. Here's the card I created:







The paper pad I used is Dear Lizzy's Fine and Dandy, the floral and butterfly chipboard is from My Mind's Eye - it's an older collection I purchased years ago, but can't remember the name unfortunately. The file folder is from the Pink Paislee Fancy Free Tags Collection and the enamel dots are from Craft Works (an own brand from a UK retail store called The Works), the cardstock is from Daler-Rowney / Canford Card in 'Dreadnought Grey'. The label maker I use for some sentiments, but mostly for my organisational needs is the Brother P-Touch 80 Label Maker.

So there we are a quick and easy way to use up any chipboard to make a simple, but pretty card. Thanks for stopping by! Happy Crafting!

Simon Says Stamp - Shipping / Customs and Dispatch (UK)

I heard about Simon Says Stamp many years ago through Kristina Werner and Jennifer McGuire, both of whom worked, designed or were (and still are) affiliated to the brand - they've designed stamp sets for them, done projects for them, created videos with them and their products and they were always a brand that I thought I would never be able to get hold of because of where I was based location wise - which is in the UK. I took the plunge in making my first order with them back in December 2014 and ordered nearly $60 worth of merchandise, which probably doesn't seem that much based on the US dollar but for me it definitely was - the shipping for the item total exceeding $50 was $20 and this hadn't been added to the total yet! Since that order, I have not looked back, I buy products from Simon when they have flash sales, as the shipping is worth it, or once maybe every 6 months as I can't really afford to buy from them more than 3 or 4 times a year. When I do...

Seven Hills Crafts (UK)

Seven Hills Crafts, formerly 'Make A Day Special' is a craft website dedicated to all your crafting needs based in Sheffield, UK. They sell US imported stamps from well known brands such as Lawn Fawn, Mama Elephant, Concord and 9th, Paper Smooches, Waffle Flower, My Favorite Things, Neat and Tangled and various other worldwide stamps, dies, and papercrafts to the UK market. This site is a God send. I make at least one order a week to these guys and if I had more money I would gladly give it to them! To be able to obtain and buy US stamps, dies and craft materials in the UK without having to pay overseas shipping is ama-zing - I only have to pay one price and no other price additional to what I am already paying in postage. The site used to be called 'Make a Day Special' before the name change which happened at the start of this year (2016) They rebranded from the previous UK based colours of red, white and blue, and the site and logos now have a bright and fre...
