Craftober | Day 5: One Piece of Pattern Paper

Welcome to Craftober Day 5! Thank you for stopping by on the blog today!

Today's prompt is: One Piece of Patterned Paper - so many paper pads, so little time! It was impossible to choose one, but in the end I did pick one piece and I think it really does suit the sentiment.

Today's card is here:

I really love the 'Hello Love' paper pad by Crate Paper, it was one of their most popular collections, it wasn't available in the UK for a while because it sold out in most places and only appeared in Hobbycraft quite sometime after it's release. It was only available via a few UK online retailers. This paper goes very well with the sentiment picture and I always love a pun on any cards because those sort of things make me giggle!

All materials used:

Raspberry Card stock from Lime Tree Craft

Hello Love 6 x 6 Paper Pad - Crate Paper

Pink & White Twine by Do Crafts / Papermania

Large Tag Dies - Simon Says Stamp

Simple Stories - You & Me - All You Need is Love Paper

3D Foam Tape

Double sided tape

Die Cutting Machine

I may have to give this to my fiance as I am a massive fan of his (as usual!) Heehee!

Tomorrow will probably be another card for him too - his birthday is around the corner and tomorrows craft prompt is 'Masculine'.

Join us tomorrow for Day 6! Until then - 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 ...
