MORE ON CHRISTMAS AND AN EXCITING WEEK TO COME....

I have more Christmas makes to share tonight, and next week will be even more fun as we have some new releases on the horizon - exciting times!

Here I have a lovely card by Daniele, with good old Santa on board, looking pretty in pink...

One of our older stamps on here, CI-136, plus a pink and glittery CI-368, and tags from CI-447.

Now a fun and colourful card by Coco, using the cheeky robin from a popular Alice Palace stamp CI-375..

Coco has added a little stamp from CI-420, top left, and a snowflake surround using CI-241.

More about Santa on this lovely tag from Flo....

Plus another similar styled tag featuring the little snow baby from CI-240...

Flo has used modelling paste and a starry stencil here too.

We have some new hanging frames on the website amongst the New Products Here, 
and this is the star shaped set and more Santas, followed by the flower set in its pre decorated state...

I embossed the acrylic paint coating with the help of CI-173 in the star set, and some WOW gold embossing powder - all very festive in greens and reds and gold!

Finally I have a couple of stylish cards by Laury...

....Featuring more tags from CI-447, and the 'Wishes' word from CI-408 in a lovely soft green and white.

If you are on the mailing list for Newsletters from us look out in your Inbox for mail from us this week coming, and get your new stamps on order whilst they are so new and such hot property!  I suspect they will come at a bargain price for a little while too.

We are still featuring heavily on The Craft Channel at the moment I am delighted to say - hope you have managed to watch some of the cool creations being made on there - always an interesting way to spend some me time.

Back soon,

CHRISTMAS IS ON THE CARDS.....

Christmas is on its way, and the shops and cafes seem to be playing Christmas music already (seems a little bit early to me though?)!!  We have some more festive makes tonight for you, made by the team, hopefully to inspire you to be creative this weekend too.  Starting with beautiful tags by clever Lynne, which have been published in the latest edition of Somerset Life.  If you haven't checked out the American magazines from Somerset Studio, you must, as you have a treat in store, they are great!....

Lynne's work is often to be found amongst the glorious pages of these magazines.  The tags here were created with the help of CI-446 and its curly words, gold powders, gems and fabric!  Look out for more of these unique hand drawn words by our great friend Linda Edwards, coming soon to a shop near you (and on our website too of course).

I also made a card with one of the words, plus CI-369.....

....And I have two very lovely festive cards by Daniele to show you as well....

The first features the curly Noel word again, and both other main images are from an elements plate CI-396. Stunning!

My final cards of this evening are by Sylvie, and have beautifully contemporary backgrounds...

The first features more curly words, plus our London city skyline CI-359, and the second has Santa, riding over the rooftops from CI-398.

More about Christmas coming soon.  Hope you are now feeling inspired to create yourself?!
