Brad Buddies

These extra large brads from Hot Off The Press always fit the bill. There is a wide range of designs which you can find here. Each pack costs £2.95 and contains 6 Brads (2 of each design) which are approximately 2" in size.

You can see them in action over on my other blog, Cards For Men. Hop over and take a look.

Bye for now.

Lawrence Llewelyn-Bowen prize over on the CRAFT Challenge Blog

This great prize is being offered by Donna's Den of Crafts on the CRAFT Challenge blog which I am proud to be a sponsor for.  This weeks challenge is to make 'anything but a card' so get your thinking caps on and give it a go.

Good luck everyone.

A Birthday Card for my Sister-in-law

I made this card recently for my sister-in-law's Birthday.  My cards are still quite simple but getting better.  The image was a freebie from Sketching Stamper which I've coloured in using my Prismacolours.  I really love using them at the moment.  I don't sell Prismacolours although I do stock Sakura (see earlier post) and Bruynzeel Aquarel pencils which are new in.  If you want prismacolours, gamsol, etc. I buy mine from 1Buy1Pencils and I can strongly recommend them.

Back to my card...

I rounded the corners using a great new tool from Zutter called the Rounder, the gems were just from my stash and the base card was from a box of DCWV Textured cards.

Hope you like my card and I'll be back later with a post about the CRAFT challenge that we're sponsoring.

Sakura pens have arrived!

I have just received an order of Sakura Pens which I'm really excited.  I've started with the Glaze and Souffle sets for now.  If anyone would like any of the other ranges then please let me know and I'll place them on my next order.

I have a huge amount of stock now coming in and will be uploading to my site daily so keep checking.

We're sponsoring the C.R.A.F.T Challenge this week.

Here's what is up for grabs for this weeks challenge. The theme is Decoupage and the deadline is Wednesday 8th July. The winner will receive a 12"x12" Designer Paper Pack, Decoupage Kit and Floral Brads all from Kate Knight's Wild Blossoms range.

So hop on over to CRAFT Challenge and have a go. You've gotta be in it to win it.
