Hip Hip Hooray!!

Now this looks interesting.  A card kit that makes 20 cards for less than £20 (it's £17.95, to be precise). And as well as all the cardstock, envelopes stickers & embellishments you'd expect, this kit includes a mini ink pad, 3 stamps AND an acrylic stamp mounting block. 

That makes it a perfect little starter kit if you or someone you know is new to stamping. 

Combine it with a few other bits and bobs to make a total spend of £45 before 31 March and choose more stamps, a punch or papers FREE from the Sale-a-bration catalogue.

I've just ordered one I'll let you know how I get on.

And if you're tempted too, remember that if you combine it with a few other bits and bobs to make a total spend of £45 before 31 March, you can choose more stamps, a punch or papers FREE from the Sale-a-bration catalogue.

CAN YOU HANDLE ALL THAT VALUE? CAN YOU??

Party favour plus sale-a-bration reminder

I made this sweet wedding/party favour today. I made the flower with the Sizzix Spiral Flower die, using two layers of Core'dinations paper. This is far and away the best cardstock to use with this die. It makes the most extravagant, textured blooms!

The embossed pattern is a freebie from the Sale-a-Bration catalogue (Decorative Dots embossing folder). Free when you spend £45 in a single order. Be quick, the offer ends 31 March 2014.

In related news, my Vagabond electronic die cutter finally conked out today. I wish I could say it was a dramatic end, but in truth there was just a discreet "pop", a wisp of smoke & 'twas gone. 

I'm not too sad. We had a good four years together. Be glad that it happened, not sad that it's over & all that.

Anyway, dead Vagabond can only mean one thing - NEW DIE CUTTING MACHINE SHOPPING!!!

And it goes without saying I shall be purchasing this beast...
