So Excited these are coming soon!

Oh I have waiting for these since I saw this video from CHA Winter earlier this year. I think these punches are just gorgeous. I have always loved the Martha Stewart Craft punches, but these look amazing.

I will keep you up to date as to when these arrive. They will be available from our online shop and in store once they arrive.

April Newsletter Layouts

The newsletter will be going up shortly. I still need practice at uploading the newsletter and things to the website. My wonderful husband had been doing it but this is something I feel I need to know how to do. So I will get there. In the meantime I thought I would post some photos of some of the layout and projects that I did for this months newsletter.

I had a lot of fun this for this month's newsletter using the gorgeous papers we put in this months ScrapPack as well as playing with the Inkadinkado Stamping Gear by EK Success. So lets take a look.

In this layout I have used the stamping gear to create a doily like image by using two stamps on the paddle. I then teared the paper in the shape of the circle and inked the edge for this layout.

For this card I had fun using the inside part of the circle wheel to create this fun almost fire looking card. I also would ink up the stamp once but stamp twice to get the one image darker than the other. I really like this effect.

But this layout has to be my favourite at the moment. I used the Oval Wheel and the same stamp as the above card one but put it horizontally on the paddle to create this neat looking wreath. I then added flowers. I am looking forward to getting my hands on the flower petals stamps for the stamping gear so I can make my own flowers.
In the newsletter it also tells you how to use the Inkadinkado stamping gear. I know you will have fun with this tool. You can find all the tools and stamps on our online shop (click here)
