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...

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...
