'BLOOM WHERE YOU'RE PLANTED' - Pocket Card / Gift Card Holder

  One for the fellas perhaps?

I don't know about you, but I find blokes a bit tricky to buy gifts for... particularly those in the 50+ age range?  So, with this thought in mind, I figured the more 'green fingered' of the population might not object to receiving a gift voucher for a Garden Centre! Genius!  

So, how does one 'present' a voucher in a more masculine way...

... by tweaking a pocket card I saw by Julie DiMatteo, a US demonstrator.  I love how we demonstrators can share and change up / resize / tweak ideas to suit us!

I have to say I'm still pondering on adding a sentiment to the front? 

- Decisions, decisions...

The bits that I need to draw your attention to are the Cinnamon Cider items as they have been with us since 2020 as 'In-Colours' we sadly have to say goodbye to these in early May, when we'll get a whole new selection of In-Colours to play with!

IF you've a lot of DSP left to create with, or simply love this colour, NOW is the time to stock up on Cardstock and grab that re-inker for your Classic Stampin' pad.

Here they are to pop in your basket...

GOING LIVE in 2!...

Oooh… it's getting really close to launch day (the new 2014-15 Autumn/Winter catalogue), and I've taken a fab photo of all the stash I bought during pre-order, but I can't show you the physical product until the ACTUAL day… so another peek at a couple of bits I've made with so of the great new products.

This is a great new addition to the Thinlit Card Die collection, with the 'SNOWFLAKE' I've made a few variations, but so far I think this one is my favourite - and surprisingly quick and simple to make! - I've also figured out another couple of uses/occasions for this die set, to be revealed at a later date!!

Sticking with the 'die' theme, I also treated myself to the 'CURVY KEEPSAKE BOX Thinlit Die' and made this with the help of the lovely new 'ALL IS CALM Designer Washi Tape'.

A Speedy 50th....

A friend is off out tonight to a 50th birthday party, she needed a card rapidly!
So, I rustled this up in just 10 minutes! In fact, it took me longer to tidy away my stash than it did to make the card!!
