It's been snowing!!

Yes, we've had a bit of snow today although only a sprinkling! It's a scary reminder that December is nearly upon us! If you're after inspiration for your Christmas cards, just look at these fabulous cards designed by Gaynor, one of our design team...


Warmest Wishes
Christmas Pals


Deck The Horns
We Three Cats





 

Gaynor made all these cards using papers that were free from a craft magazine last year, a selction of our fab Christmas stamps and Martha Stewart punches. She added a little card candy and a touch of glitter glue here and there for added sparkle!  Thanks Gaynor xx

Warming my Cockles
Feeling quite festive now so I'm off to make a start on my own cards - have a warm & cosy weekend everyone! xx

Cards to brighten your day!

Just look at these beautifully co-ordinated cards in blues and greens made with our latest Club stamp, 'A Little Bird Told Me'...

Thanks for these cards, Gaynor.
We just love the way you can use this stamp to make  birthday cards and general cards aswell as Christmas cards, just by changing the colour schemes!  Let us know what you think!

Hi everyone!

Thanks to everyone who went to Taunton yesterday, Steve enjoyed chatting (as usual!) to everyone who visited the stand.

We're busy at the moment working on our new range of stamps which will be launched early December - can't believe it is creeping up on us so quickly!

In the meantime, you have been busy over the weekend.....
'A Little Bird Told Me' by Sue

'Will he find us?' by Kay Coney

They're gorgeous, thank you both!

NEW CARD EXAMPLES FROM THE NEC!



                            Thanks to everyone who visited our stand at the NEC.

                                                       A special thank you to Heidi, who did a fantastic demo, as usual!

                                                   
This cute little card featuring 'Claire's Owls' is simply held together by a brad - what a clever idea Heidi!

Flower Frame

We just love this little tag (which could also be hung on a Christmas tree) using part of the image of  'A little bird told me..'  and our Flower Frames die.
Thanks for this great idea Heidi!

A Little Bird Told Me

Another stunning card from Heidi using this month's Club stamp 'A Little Bird Told Me...' and our Pointy Frame dies x

New designs going on Create and Crafts in January.

Steve has his own themed collection launching on the 13th January 2011 on Ideal Worlds Create and Crafts TV at 10 am and repeated at 10pm with Leonie, poor thing and 5 demo's which should be fun and I think they are repeating the show two weeks later, we are then on in Feb with another 4 of Steve's collection but will update you all with a time as we get it.

The club is over 1100 strong now and growing and thanks to everyone for supporting us, if you look on the front page each month you will see the new sets and stamps and we have some fantastic designs for everyone in 2011 with the talented design team and ourselves who will be working hard to show them all to there full potential in loads of ideas for everyone.

Lots of emails everyone please for the show and the club members are in for a treat in January as the very first of my collection is being posted to them as an exclusive set before the tv show get a look.

If you get a chance have a look as they really are beautiful designs I hate to admit and peeloffs to match as well, I am sure it will all go to his head even more so put your ear plugs in at the shows in 2011, but we all admit they are very clever and quite original!
Hugs
