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...

Happy New Year 2019!

A very Happy New Year to one and all! I hope that you have all had a splendid, restful Festive Season.  It has been quite a while since I posted on this blog, so I hope that you will forgive my absence for the most part of 2018. It has been a busy year and I have to be honest the desire to blog about craft has been less desired or fulfilling. Making and writing about craft simultaneously was not forthcoming with me - doing the two things separately was a lot more enjoyable. I tend to do a lot more making and enjoying the process rather than actually writing it down. But for 2019 I really want to get back to the grind again. Being able to make things and share them with you guys and also enjoy doing the two processes together is something I really want to get back to. I have been creative - though not blogging - YouTube have given me a sense of putting content out even if it isn't in writing form, but also doing Design Team work for Die Cutting Essentials Magazine, which ...
