BLOG TIME AGAIN....

Thanks for the comments you left on my last post with the results of the blog candy.  The two lucky ladies, Pearl and Anne, claimed their packages of new stamps and hopefully have been playing nicely with the contents already.  Do share piccies of your makes if you can.

We are busy preparing for our next Hochanda shows (early June), and the teamies will be busy bees, experimenting and creating more beautiful things with our next lot of fabby stamps and more I'm sure.  Further info to come on all that later in May, and thanks to all of you out there who support us during and also after the shows.  Meanwhile we are also frantically preparing for our Happy Stampers retail show visit on 11th May - it's less than 2 weeks away already (eeeek!), and as always you will need your pre-purchased ticket to gain entry to this very cool show in Port Sunlight village!  Please leave a message if you are visiting this time around, as the best part of the show is meeting up with existing acquaintances and good friends, as well as making new friends along the way.  Do pop by and say hello to Malcolm and myself, as well as to Lesley, David and Judith on the adjoining Chocolate Baroque stand right next door.  All very exciting!  Come and check out our lovely show special offers, and see the products being demonstrated too, we are so looking forward to your company.

Right now my first make of the evening is this wonderful dimensional owly reversed canvas by Helen Chilton...


'A Parliament of Owls' - so very cool Helen.  Love the addition of the berries, twigs, feathers and more on this make.

The following image is of three cards created by Flo and shown on the last Hochanda shows.  Sporting my favourite colours of shades of blues, and aquas (with a dash of yummy pink), I love these.


Finally though don't forget how very effective simple makes in just black and white alone can be, and although the new stamps, designed by Maria Kitano, do lend themselves to the addition of lots of colour, they are also very dramatic and effective just in B&W.  Give it a go and see what you can make!....


All the stamps in the above images are from our most recent release, and can be found on the 'New Products' pages here: https://www.craftyindividuals.co.uk/new-products

Hope to see you soon,

Fabulous makes from the DT Jean and Helen's canvas is gorgeous, and Flo's beautiful cards look great in blue, so stylish and elegant and love the pink flowers, and then the classic black and white ones look stunning too. TFS Jean. x
