Craftober | Day 8: Clean and Simple

Day 8 of Craftober! Hello Day 8! Welcome to the Blog today and thank you for stopping by! Today is Day....8 of Craftober and today's theme is: Clean and Simple. Minimal cardmaking to a T! I absolutely love clean and simple cards, but sometimes less can be more and more looks like less. I hope that I have struck good balance with this card.

Here is my card below:




All materials used:
Teal Cardstock
Silver Star Confetti
6mm Gold Sequins
Handwritten Holiday - My Favorite Things
Bitty Bears Stamp / Die Set - My Favorite Things
3D Foam Pads
Spectrum Noir Markers
3mm Glue Dots
Die Cutting Machine
Paper Trimmer
MISTI Stamping Tool
Memento Tuxedo Black Ink

I really love this card and I'm really please how it turned out. It's definitely a clean and simple card, minimal embellishments, one central sentiment and image - plus that bear is just sooo cute! Good job MFT! Hope you guys like the card for today and tune in tomorrow for Day 9 (this I think maybe a tiny bit difficult for me!)

See you tomorrow!

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...
