It's Day 7 of Craftober! Yes Day 7! We're nearly a week into our month long challenge! Thanks for stopping by this week and please do join in if you can - it's not too late to start!

Today's theme is: Paper Punch. If you don't have a paper punch you can use mini dies instead - improvisation is key!

So here is my card for Day 7

All material used:
Kraft Cardstock
White Cardstock
Little You (Girl) Paper Pad - Crate Paper
Tiny Ninjas Stamp / Die Set - Mama Elephant
Small Star Paper Punch - Hobbycraft
6mm Gold Sequins
3D Foam Pads

Love how this card turned out and I just love these little Ninja guys from Mama Elephant, simple colouring and little embellishment. Super!

Day 8 tomorrow and it could be a Christmas card....

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.

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 ...
