SAIL AWAY ON YOUR BIRTHDAY

Why is it that so many people have difficulty with cards for men?

Thankfully at the moment so many sets in the Annual catelogue are so suitable.

I made this card for my cousin for his birthday, living in the north east of England sailing isn't something that he could do to celebrate, so the next best thing is a card using the Sailing Home Bundle.



If you would like instructions for this card please send me a message.

Take care, talk soon

THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

Now that Christmas is only around the corner I'm having a few classes solely for Christmas, we started last week with a Sampler Class which I will blog another time, next weeks class is making 20 Christmas cards using the Night Before Christmas Memories and More products.

The Memories and More cards are ideal for pocket scrapbooking but they can also be used for beautiful, easy cardmaking and are perfect for the beginners as they are designed that if you don't want to stamp you don't have to, all you need to get started is the Memories and More, card pack, cards and envelopes and some glue. Though you can step them up with stamps, dies ribbon whatever you want.


Card and envelope pack contains  total Memories & More card bases
folded card size: 6-1/4" x 4-1/4" (15.9 x 10.8 cm) with 20 coordinating 
envelopes




The card packs contain 54 total double-sided cards (6 each of 9 designs) in 3" x 4" (7.6 x 10.2 cm) and 4" x 6" (10.2 x 15.2 cm) sizes and 6 sticker sheets all of which are acid and lignin free, when means depending on your creativity you  could make 54 beautiful Christmas cards.



I have just started putting a few samples together, they are so easy, Memories and More sets would be a great gift for someone starting out crafting.



if you would like to purchase any of the Night Before Christmas products please click on the photo above to go to my 24 hour store and please use the Host Code for November if your order is below $250.00.

Take care

MY CARD MAKING ALPHABET - N

N is for NAMES

Who wouldn't like to see their name as part of their card, especially children.

This card I made for Hamish couldn't have been easier, using the eclipse technique and the gorgeous Dinoroar Designer Series Paper. This card is very quick, easy and very personal.




You don't have to use names, words or events, whatever is appropriate (and will fit on the card) can be used. 

Sadly the Alphabet dies I used in this card have retired however the new Hand-lettered Prose Dies would work just as well.

WORLD CARD MAKING DAY TAKE 2

A couple of weeks ago it was World Cardmaking Day and I received a few surprise cards in the mail from some demonstrators I'm working with at the moment.

I have to say, apart from the fact that the cards are lovely, it was so nice to get something out of the letter box that wasn't a bill, begging  letters, political rubbish and basic junk mail.

As much as I love social media, sadly the personal touch is getting taken out of our lives and we need to bring it back, we must send more cards, we should start a campaign.

These are the three beautiful cards I received and thank you, Alison, Mel and Jo.




Who wouldn't be thrilled to receive these?

We are well and truly over half way through October, so if you would like to get your hands on this month's tutorial bundle there isn't long to go.

Here in Australia the cost is A$20, however the bundle is free with a purchase from my store of A$78. 

Here's a sneak peak of this months Tutorial Bundle.

If you would like more information please contact me at sueallensimplycraft@bigpond.com or if you need a demonstrator in your country.

You can receive one tutorial free for just signing up for my Newsletter.
