Create and Take card

This is last weeks Create and Take and this one is for the men. Ideal for a slightly older man with a good sense of humour these Art Impressions stamps are a fabulously fun range of stamps to put a smile on your face.

As well as an Art Impressions stamp we have used some lovely Authentique papers and the Memory Box Trellis die which works great for this card. 

Talking Memory Box we have a massive delivery of new designs due early April, order them now and take advantage of the free postage this weekend.

Friday 8th March - Create and Take

Last weeks create and take was a huge hit (again).  Here is what Suzie Q designed for our customers
this past Friday.

We have used the Crafty Impressions clear stamp set for the stamps

on this card, you can see these designs HERE

This set is called Fashion.

The butterfly is a Martha Stewart punch and the beautiful papers are

Maja 1925.  You can't see the detail in the photo but we have used

various jewels and nailheads to add a bit of bling!

All our create and take cards are on display in our shop in Charlwood near Gatwick.

REMINDER - Red Nose Day

New Products

New products are arriving all the time and the new Passe-partpot shapes caught our eye as they make some really interesting cards.  You can see some lovely samples of these designs on our website on the Marianne page.  Here are a couple of the pictures.

These cards have all been teamed up with the Don and Daisy range of stamp

and decoupage.  Again these can be view on our website on the Marianne

section.  Here on the card above you can see the Marianne Topiary Tree, which looks gorgeous here.

This card has been made using the dies, Don and Daisy stamps and also the new seasons

stamps.  They made lovely additions to the main stamps to create backgrounds for your designs.

Demonstration Day Saturday 27th April

It will be here before you know it and we've already started planning.  Lots more details will follow but for starters we can announce that Caz will be demonstrating the Marianne Creatable January 2013 release.  This  includes the Owl, Bird and Butterfly.  These dies are fabulous for both card making, memory albums and also felt projects.  We have had lots of lovely felt delivered at Crafts U Love and Caz is itching to make a few felt hangies to brighten her project table.  Along with the Owls and Birds she will be using the branch and flower sets to create scenes and 3d flowers.

Here is one of the lovely samples from Marianne where they have used

the owl with felt and material.

More news on this event will be coming as we confirm it.
