Hi bloggers, we have less than 2 weeks until our Spring Demo event so we think it's time to start the sneak peeks!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First up is stamping Caz who will be demonstrating the Nellie Snellen Magic Card dies. If you need more excitement in your cardmaking then look no further than the Magic Card dies from Nellie Snellen. Caz will be showing you how easy they are to put together so you can achieve that 'wow' factor in your cards.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Alongside these dies, Caz will also be demonstrating the Tonic Studios Aqua Flow pens to show you how to create wonderful watercolour effects on stamped designs. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Add these two demos together and you've got yourself the perfect card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stay tuned over the next week for more sneak peeks on what you can expect to see at our Spring Demo Event!</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Instructions:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. Cut a piece of Chiffon cardstock to fit the base of the card. Use the Marianne die with an embossing mat through your die cutting machine to emboss the die onto the cardstock. Edge the card with the Fossilized Amber ink pad.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. Cut the Meadow Butterfly die twice from white cardstock. On one of the cut out pieces colour the leaves with Shabby Shutters. On the other piece colour the flowers with Abandoned Coral. Cut the flowers out and stick in place over the die cut with the green leaves.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. Using the Meadow Butterfly die again, die cut from Gold Glitter cardstock and cut round the butterfly and stick in place.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. Punch out some flowers from gold glitter cardstock and stick on the card as pictured above.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. Stamp the wording onto some white card using Peeled Paint ink and punch out with a circle punch and stick onto the card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This card is simple but very effective and we love how Caz used the Marianne die to emboss the design into the cardstock which gives us even more ways to use our die cutting stash!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Instructions:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. Stamp Taylored Expressions background stamp with Versamark ink pad and cover with clear embossing powder and shake off the excess. Heat with a heat tool until melted.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. Cover the circle with a small piece of paper and ink around the rest of the design with Tumbled Glass using a sponge dauber. The embossed areas will create a resist effect which will remain white.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. Die cut the flower border from blue cardstock.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. Stamp flower image onto white card and colour with pencils. Cut around the edge and stick into place on card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. Stamp wording onto white card and cut out using a circle die or punch. Cut a slightly bigger scalloped circle from yellow card and stick together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
6. Assemble card as shown.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The resist effect is a great alternative from the traditional stamping methods and can be changed up using different colours.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">*********************************************</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">First up a little description about the stamps and what</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Caz loved about using them.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">These stamps are Hardened Clear Stamps and make</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">stamping a pleasure. Teamed up with a MISTI for perfect placement</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">or used with a mounting block for manual placement. Caz loved the</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">feel of these stamps, the hardness meant they did not "squish" like </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">so many other clear stamps do. So the stamped image was clear instead of blurred.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The packaging had nice examples of using the stamps, so often you</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">buy a stamp set and then are left to inspire yourself and these give</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">you a starting point.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The three styles of flowers mean there is something for everyone.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Caz loved the quirky feel of the Buttonhole Blooms, but it was hard decision as she saw the potential in all sets. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This was the first card that Caz made first and you can see</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">the inkpads that she used too. This was stamped onto the Elizabeth</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Craft Designs Soft Finish cardstock so has some "texture" on the one side</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">therefore the stamping has texture too.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You can see that Caz has used the packaging example on the front</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Lastly Caz got really inky with a bright mustard cardbase that needed toning </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">down a little with some white pigment ink and a stencil.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Caz stamped the sprig in green and then overstamped "off target" in white</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The inkpads were lovely to use. For the bold/solid stamps you would be best to stamp a couple of times to give a smoother coverage, The <a href="https://www.craftsulove.co.uk/misti/misti-original-stamp-tool.html">MISTI</a> of course would be perfect for this as the placement will be exact. The colour sets are gorgeous. Worst part will be choosing which colours to choose!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Back again, a little later than usual but we have been busy getting the orders out today and just ran out of time for the blog post. But not to fear, we did not want to miss our regular Wednesday slot so its better late than never.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today Caz has been making some projects with the Taylored Expressions <a href="https://www.craftsulove.co.uk/rubber-stamps/taylored-expressions-rubber-stamps/taylored-expressions-calendar-critters-set-of-24-stamps.html">Calendar Critters Rubber Stamps. </a> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As the name implies these are perfect for making your own Calendars but work equally well as decorate for other project and you will see what Caz has done with them.</span><br />

The calendar was a free printable, which was printed onto white copy paper and cut down. Mounted onto pieces of 6 x 6 card and decorated with various dies. These could be used individually, bound with the <a href="https://www.craftsulove.co.uk/tools/zutter-bind-it-all-version-2-0-pink.html">Zutter Bind it all</a> or bound with Book Rings. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Its Wednesday, again! Where does the time fly? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We have another Product in Spotlight and this week it is a die set that is a little older to us at Crafts U Love but sometimes these dies can get overlooked for some reason or another so Caz thought she would give her die set a work out and created 4 little houses that would look cute hanging from the Christmas Tree, filled with festive treats or look warm and cozy on the mantel piece with battery tea lights inside.</span> </div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As well as the house you get a round and square window, door, flower and Heart so there are lots of decorating possibilities. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The house from bottom to top measures 11cm</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">and the main body of the house measures 5.5cm x 5cm</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With the stripy paper and Kraft Coloured card</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">it reminded Caz of a Gingerbread house so she used</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">the candy cane to decorate either side of the door. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Add that cute little </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">heart from the set and it finishes it off perfectly.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">card on the roof giving it a shimmery finish. Lovely and Festive!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last design is this simple but pretty house, a pastel plaid roof and</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">used a left over piece of the Marianne Wreath cut in gold.</span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These houses were such fun to make, untold paper choices, placement of the windows and doors </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">is totally up to you how you design it. Caz used Acetate in the windows. And when you place a battery operated </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">tea light inside you have the soft glow shining through the windows.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i>Extra Tools Required:</i> double sided tape, sharp scissors and wet glue.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Instructions:</b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. Die cut four body pieces and selected elements from the card/glitter card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. Apply double sided tape to the long tabs of each body piece and stick two body pieces together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><i>One pair will become the bottom of the ornament and the other, the top.</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. Using scissors, remove all of the small tabs from what will become the bottom piece.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. Apply double sided tape to all of the smaller tabs, to what will become the top piece of the ornament. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. Create the top and bottom pieces by sticking together the remaining long tabs to the corresponding opposite sides.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
6. Stick the small hanger piece to the 'back'.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Its Caz back again with this Wednesdays <b>NEW Product Spotlight</b> and I hope you enjoyed last weeks look at the Mini Alphabet Punch Boards.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week I am taking a look at the <a href="https://www.craftsulove.co.uk/die-cutting/marianne-designs/11-november-2016/marianne-design-pillow-box-craftables-die-set.html"><b>Marianne Pillow Box set</b></a>. I must say I am rather partial to making 3d items, and boxes are my favourite and this time of year I can see many uses for them. From decorating the tree, place settings and gift gifting ideas. These boxes are perfect for small gifts like jewelry, and also a novel way of gift giving someone money or a gift card.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is a look at the die set itself, so as well as the wonderful Pillow Box you also get 9 other dies that you can use to decorate your Pillow Boxes or other projects. The assembled Pillow Box measures from the longest point to longest point 11cm. If you measure midway (where to box curves inwards) it is 8.5cm. It is 7.2cm wide and approx 3cm deep on the deepest part.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Owls are very popular and I love them! Here was my simple decorated</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.craftsulove.co.uk/die-cutting/marianne-designs/11-november-2016/marianne-design-pillow-box-craftables-die-set.html"><b>Pillow Box</b></a> made to look like an Owl. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The wings were created by die cutting just the end parts of the pillow</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">box and cutting so it just left long pointed ovals. The whole box was edged with</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Distress ink and I used a old striped stamp for the owls tummy.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A scalloped Circle and Plain circle were used to create the eyes and</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> some bling added to the centres.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This one was sort of my first "Failed" attempt at an owl. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> But it turned </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">out very funny, more chicken like and a bit wacky, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">too cute </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">to not share!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For my "Chicken" I used some other dies from the <a href="https://www.craftsulove.co.uk/die-cutting/marianne-designs/11-november-2016/marianne-design-pillow-box-craftables-die-set.html"><b>Pillow Box</b></a> set to decorate.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Face and Wings are both cut from the heart that comes with the die set.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The eyelashes are from the flower, his feet are the snipped off ends of the Bow and the bow was what was left over once I cut down the ends for the feet. How very resourceful of me :)</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Instructions:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. Die cut a label (from the Labels & Circles die set) from Walnut Cream cardstock and stamp an image onto the shape using black ink. Colour the image with watercolour pencils and add some Vintage Photo distress ink around the edges.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. Die cut a mini envelope from Kraft card and stamp brown snowflakes onto it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. Stamp wording onto a strip of cream card using black ink, stamp the heart with red ink and distress the edges with Vintage Photo distress ink.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. Stamp border on the top of the card with Red Brick ink.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. Stamp 2nd generation* image of snowflakes onto Walnut Cream card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>* 2nd generation stamping is a great way to get more out of your inks. To create a 2nd generation image, ink up your stamp and then stamp onto a piece of scrap paper before stamping on your project.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
6. Cut a small strip of Walnut Cream card to create a little tag for the inside of the envelope and stamp with Santa wording. Add a glittered star either side to create something to grab hold of to remove the tag.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
7. Start to assemble the card by following the image above. When sticking the bottom piece of striped cardstock make sure to leave an area clear of adhesive to create a pocket for the envelope to sit in.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This card is a great Christmas card and the mini envelope lets you include a little special message for the recipient to find and read.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The letters were made from patterned paper, edged with a little distress ink</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and sparkly peel off dots added to it. This was an oversized card</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">made from a piece of 12 x 12 folded in half.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This type of card would be fantastic framed as a little keepsake long after the </span></div>
