Pink Pamper - Our New Breast Cancer Awareness Digistamp Set

You loved her last year and this year sees a much more relaxed Nutshell Pecan helping to raise money for Breast Cancer Awareness.  After being featured in this month's Card-Making and Papercrafts, we've had so many emails enquiring about Pecan that we have had to bring forward the October release of our new Pink Pamper Digistamp set!

Last year we were able to donate just under £100 to Breast Cancer Awareness following the success of our Pink Frosting Digistamp set. This year we hope to raise much more with Pink Pamper.  The full set includes three character images of Pecan, along with a dressing table, chaise lounge and two sentiments, so Pink Pamper is ideal for all your birthday, get well wishes, invitations and friendship cards!

Can't wait to see what you all create with Pecan for our Nutty Nutshells Challenge Blog!

Happy Crafting!  Katie and Colette

SUNNY START

A warm hello to everyone, it seems an age since my last blog post and I'm quite pleased to be back :)

I hope that everyone is having a great start to their summer season (if it's the right part of the world for you) we have had a glorious weekend here in Manchester and the coming week looks to be promising too with lots of sunshine (It makes such a nice change from the usual rain!)

It has been a busy few days for myself and Colette with Fathers day on Sunday and my Dads birthday the day after, we celebrated with a yummy BBQ and a few cheeky drinks.

Hopefully we will catch you later in the week, thanks for stopping by, Katie xxx

NUTTY NUTSHELLS #12

We have a great new challenge this week over at our Nutshells blog. Challenge #12 is to create something Easter/Spring themed, that's it! Nice, easy and simple, so what are you waiting for.

I have used Spring Harriet, and this is the very first easel card I have made and boy are they addictive! I love how they show off your image and lots more detail than regular folded cards.

I have used papers from my stash, decorated with my boarder punch, and Prima Essentials 7 Indeed flowers with a couple of fancy pins. To keep the card open, I have added a Prima Pebble with a vintage flower design.

We have a very exciting announcement to make on Monday with a free treat for everyone who stops by, but if you can't wait till then, join us again tomorrow for a sneak peak of whats to come!

Thanks for stopping by, Katie.

NUTTY CHALLENGE #11

I hope everyone has that Friday feeling today, these weekends seem to be coming faster and faster!
A week later than planned, we have a fab new challenge over at our Nutshells blog, with not one, but TWO prizes to choose and a stack of great inspiration from our lovely talented DT.
This time we are having a Sketch Challenge. The sketch we are using is by the lovely Maria at Stamping Inspirations. She was sweet enough to allow us to use her fabby sketch for our challenge. The link to her blog is http://stampininspirations.blogspot.com/ and she does amazing work. You should head on over and take a look.

I have used our newest Nutshell Easter Bo for my card (that large oval really makes me think of Easter eggs.... think I've got chocolate on the brain!)

You have until next Tuesday to enter, and must follow the sketch above and use any stamp stocked in our store.

I hope you can play along, Katie.

STORE UPDATE

Our Newest Digi stamps are now available over at our Nutcrafters store

Thanks for stopping by, Katie and Colette.

SPRING HAS SPRUNG

Here we are into March already! I am hoping some nice weather will be arriving soon also , but while we wait, we have a few new Spring time images to share.

Available from Friday 5th March, we have 3 new digi stamps in our store, the first of which we are revealing today, meet spring Harriet.

She looks very peaceful reading her book with her little Rabbit companion by her side (or is he a March Hare?)

Harriet has been coloured with Promarkers and the card embellished with Pima E flowers and Crystals, and a Rose Charm.

We hope you can join us tomorrow for another new preview, Thanks for stopping by, Katie and Colette.
