Meet me by the Well bookmarks

I was recently asked to make some commemorative bookmarks for a church event. The theme was 'Meet Me By The Well' and I had to make 100 of them.

I made a small 'wallet' and used the Two Tags die (now retired) to make the bookmarks. I printed some pictures of a well and also printed the labels. I stamped a flower image as background on the book mark and used the Trust God stamp set for the sentiment.





Here are all 100 of them. The colour combinations are: Island Indigo/Pool Party; Raspberry Ripple/Pink Pirouette; Elegant Eggplant/Wisteria Wonder and Night of Navy/Bashful Blue (retired).

 

 It was a lot of work but the effort was appreciated.x

Creative Tour Make & Takes

Here are the Make & Takes, all made up. We used the Gingham Garden washi tape, which is soo easy to use.



Anyone who knows me, knows I'm not a fan of anything that I don't consider neat. Washi tape comes into that category as you tear the tape, leaving a jagged edge. Well, that was a step too far for me, so I cut mine with scissors. Having done that, I actually really liked using it. It was so quick and easy. In fact I'm planning to do a Christmas class, using washi tape, for quick and easy Christmas cards, so keep an eye on my blog. Here's the second card:

And a close up of the butterfly, button and baker's twine:

Even the envelopes were decorated with washi tape:

Check back soon for more projects. x

Creative Tour freebies

A quick post today to show you what we got when we went to the Stampin' Up! Creative Tour in Loughborough last Wednesday:



We got everything we needed to make two Make & Takes - the muslim bag and the Notecards. We got the Love & Joy stamp (to stamp on the Muslim bag with), and we got a bracelet which is actually a USB memory stick. It has a copy of the FREE My Digital Studio trial and an extra little download for demos.

I had a lovely evening and received some beautiful swops, which I'll show you later. I was too busy taking photos to make my projects, so have taken them home to make and will show them to you when they're finished. If you want the chance to come to these Stampin' Up! events, why not contact me about joining my team.

Check back soon to see the latest. x

 

Clearance rack now available in the UK

For the first time ever, we now have the Clearance Rack available in the UK. This means retired products can be bought at hugely discounted prices.

The best way to buy clearance rack products is to go to my online shop by clicking HERE or by clicking on the  Order Now button at the right of my blog.

Once you're on my page (my name is in the right hand corner), click the SHOP button at the top to go to the online shop. Clearance rack is the second option in the list on the left.

Although you can try and order these products through me, the clearance rack changes all the time and products are only available while stocks last. If you wait for me to place an order, the product you want may be sold out. So to prevent you from being disappointed, you just need to create an account, and order it yourself. Your order will be sent straight to your house. (P&P charges apply). You can obviously add anything else you want too. P&P is the same, no matter how big your order is. If you spend more than £150, you will qualify for FREE hostess goodies, just as you would do if you were hosting a party.

I hope you enjoy having a look. Who can resist a bargain eh? x
