Craftober | Day 3: Favourite Colour

Hi everyone and welcome back to the blog - thank you so much for stopping by! Today is Craftober Day 3 and it's crafting using your Favourite Colour. This can be interpreted in a few ways: it could be your favourite colour in general, or a colour you like to craft with that is your favourite, or even anything else!

So for me, this is my favourite colour in general - which is green. Now green is a bit of a funny one in my opinion as it can be a difficult colour to make a card with - it comes in different shades, one green might not look brilliant on a card, but some shades may look beautiful on a card or project - this time I think I may have cracked it!






All materials used:
Black card stock
White card stock
Storyteller 6 x 6 Paper Pad - First Paper Edition
Starshine Chipboard Stickers - Shimelle / American Crafts
3D Foam Pads
Double Sided Tape

This paper from First Edition Paper looks really blue, buts actually a turquoise green with light green accents.  It's gorgeous, it's absolutely beautiful - has such a vast amount of textures, patterns and vibrancy - it is stunning. I didn't want to use it because the designs and colours are on point!

That is the card for today, let me know what you make today as part of Cratober and remember it is not limited to just cards, it can be any craft project you desire!

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 ...
