I'm going to keep this one short and sweet and get straight to the point...

TIME FOR TEA

Thursday already! These days sure do fly by.

Today we have another card to share which has been made with one of our newest stamp designs - Afternoon Tea.



I just love these two cuties and they are a dream to colour- nice and chunky ; ).

I thought the rustic red and green suited the image and the strawberry backing paper was the obvious choice.

Flowers and leaves available here, boarder punch is a Martha Stewart and ribbon from stash.

This stamp is also available as part of our Stamp bundle #1,(any 3 £4.50 stamps for just £10!)

DIGI SQUARE DELIGHTS

Today we have a few cards featuring our new Digi Stamp Squares to share.

There are 6 new designs and each pack contains 12 squares (2 of each design). Although created with a summery vibe, I think they can be used any time and containing both male and female images, they are a handy little go-to when you need to whip up a quick card or ideal if you love colouring.

Each image is coloured with Promarkers (they work really well on the smooth card the images are printed on) and the flowers used can be found over at www.nutcrafters.com.  The two girly cards feature a few sneaky peaks of new items soon to be in our store too.  The sentiment and tag are part of one of our new sentiment sets, due for release next week, and the bunting card also shows off one of our new Resin Cameos, perfect for a vintage style card. Keep your eyes peeled for more details on these items here and over in our web store.

Don't forget to enter our blog candy draw too if you haven't already, just scroll down for all the details.
