Monday ramblings...

Happy Chinese New Year Everyone!

Hope you're well and you all had a good weekend. I wanted to continue and make my Chinese New Year cards on Saturday so that they could get the Saturday midday post for relatives to receive them today. Anyway, long story cut short, I couldn't find my one piece of gold cardstock that I used the other day, so I couldn't make them :(

So instead of wasting more time, I did make some SU cards for the rest of the day (samples for my Open House Day in mid February) and typical, as I was clearing away that evening, I found my one piece of gold cardstock!

Sunday I started early making a few Chinese New Year cards so that at least I had some to show on here to wish my family good wishes for the coming Year of the Ox.

Here are three designs that I made:



Be back later for some SU cards that I made on Saturday :)

Weekend has arrived...

Hello blog,

Am I crazy or what, it's 7.26am as I type this, I was eager to get up this morning, despite going to bed late. I need to continue to make my Chinese New Year cards so that they can catch the 12-something mail today to arrive for Monday morning - I'm hoping Royal Mail will deliver on time! lol.

Then I'm going to try and do some sample cards today using my new rubber stamps and limited ink pad colours to create some hopefully beautiful cards to show off later. I have a view to have an open house day in mid February sometime, so I'm trying to get prepared to make some goodies/samples for all to see. Again, when I know - sooner rather than later, I'll let you all know the exact date and time. It will definitely be before the last date in February as we're currently got Sale-A-Bration going on, which for every £45 you spend, you're entitled to choose a free limited edition stamp set from a selection of four (see Sale-A-Bration post for the pictures of all four stamp sets). Now's an even better time to put your feet up, grab a drink (alcohol optional) and look through the catalogue and mark out your wish list!

I'm going to sign out now, cards are waiting for me to be made...

Bye for now,

Alex

Another celebration...

Hi all,

Well this time next week will be Chinese New Year. I've never made Chinese New Year cards before until I was commissioned to make one the other day. I made three different versions, and the lady chose one of them. Well, I figured as it turned out well, I'd make some more in the next few days to send out to some family members.

I'll be making them hopefully in the evenings, using red and gold cardstock and perhaps some ribbon or brads. Watch this space for an upload of the card - I'll probably post the finished card next Monday for New Years Day :) Here's a sneak peek:


Bye for now,
