Bloomin Marvelous

Can you remember my Floral Fancies? My Mam has been busying herself printing cutting and shaping and brought them to show me, gosh aren’t they lovely?

Did you spot the quilled center in the lemon one above?

And the glittered centers make them really girly.

I’f you missed the sheets they can still be found here

Pin & Needles Metro Arena

La Pashe News

We are at Pins and Needle at the Metro Arena for the Next 3 days, I'll be there demoing the Build a Blossom so if you missed them at QVC come and see us there, we have some wonderful deals.

Brilliant Day

We set off quite early this morning 7:30 am and made our way to Harrogate Papercraft Extravaganza and on arrival we were greeted by the exhibition Cow "Daisy".

The day was manic busy with lots of crafters armed with shoppers all awaiting to fill them up at whatever caught their eye.

I was doing demo's with the Build a Blossom and I did so many I have a blister.

I love it when someone watches me transform the flat sheet into a thing of natural beauty before their eyes and the disbelief at how easy they are to make until they see for themselves.

A very satisfying feeling indeed.

We had a marvelous day and after a good nights sleep I should be ready for round 2 tomorrow.

The display stand are really for Cupcakes and i saw them on facebook purchased by Nicola Joliffe one of my crafty friends and thought they would be perfect for the Build a Blossom flowers to showcase them.

I think they look like they should be in a flower boutique.

I must add that not 1 cup of tea came my way today from crafty friends (how rude) lol!

Magnolia

I have a little problem that occurred today, I don't know why or how it has happened but I'm hoping that it will correct itself real soon, We have been out shopping hunting down new bathroom fitments as we are having a brand spankling new bathroom fitted next week and believe me when I say it is well overdue as our old one is over 20years old and looking rather sorry for itself.

Whilst out I lifted a shopping basket it was an empty one, I handing it to Chris and then shortly after noticed a problem in my wrist the pain it excruciating and I'm back to wearing wrist supports, I thought those days were over I had problems around 5 - 10 years ago and I ended up having to wear wrist supports for a very long time, I'm hoping that I have simply pulled something and it will be better in a day or 2 so keep your fingers crossed.

In the mean time I wanted to share my favourite flower from the Build a Blossom range by La Pashe so here it is, the Magnolia.

Gardenia Flower Card - Build a Blossom by La Pashe

I thought I would showcase another of the brand new Build a Blossom flower by La Pashe this time a Gardenia flower, they are such a pleasure to make and they are made up in no time at all.

I think they make the perfect card or even popping them on top of a gift box and with 3 to each sheet you can give co-ordinating gift and card. Ooo Mothers day card and gift (just the ticket for Mums)

I used the ScorPal to add the lines at the bottom of the card and Cuttlebug embossing folder Victoria for the top, the Blossom is mounted on a Spellbinders Nestabilities die. I really must invest in a Spellbinders Grand Calibur and some Grand Labels I think it will be my next big buy.

Isn't it beautiful? each Blossom comes in 3 colours on one sheet.
