Cards...

This card has been made for a friend, who specified 'New Home' and 'Girly'. Hopefully she will think that I have fulfilled the brief! It is very fresh and uses a stamp that I bought from Stampin' Up, which uses a roller mechanism.

This was a card I made because I had bought some new stamps. I used the Hero Arts ones to make the flower pots. The other is the heart flower one, which I thought was just too cute to leave in the shop.

Look What I Bought and Made!

I bought these stamps from Folksy, from a great seller called Skull and Cross Buns. I decided that they were perfect for my business cards, because a 'chickadee' is a bird! They have come out beautifully and I am going to be proud to send them out with sold pieces.

Skull and Cross Buns say that the stamps can take up to a week, because they are hand carved after you order them, but mine arrived in three days. Brilliant service!

Garden Swap

I finally sent my goodies to my swap partner. I am sorry it took so long Paula, and I hope you like them. I didn't send anything edible as I know it is frowned upon in the US - I also almost sent you seeds!

I sent Paula some beautiful wool for her knitting, a rubber stamp with 'English Country Garden' on it, a plant sprayer and the beaded flower that I blogged about a couple of weeks ago. I am afraid that I took the soaps out before sending as they weighed a ton and had to be posted to the US (blush - sorry again Paula!) The flower just needs a chain or ribbon to be hung from and it can also be turned into a hair accessory or brooch.
