Daring Cardmakers - suitcase

Sorry for a bit of an absence, but I’ve been without internet at home for a couple of weeks.  Thankfully I’m back online again, so can get back to blogging regularly again.

It’s Rein’s turn to set the challenge this week at Daring Cardmakers and she’s chosen ‘suitcases’.  This was quite a tough one for me, and it took me ages to think of where I could get a suitcase from.  I don’t have a stamp with a suitcase on, but then I remembered I do have a Cricut cartridge – tags, bags and boxes, and I was able to use one of the bags to make this little case.  Once I’d cut it I embossed it with a Tim Holtz embossing folder as it looked a bit flat.  The background is stamped with various travel images of Paris and Rome, and then I decided to finish it off with a grungeboard tag and a crepe paper rose.

The rest of the design team have come up with some stunning creations, so pop over and check out their cards too.

Letraset Promarker storage unit update

The promarker storage stands have proved to be really popular, and everyone that bought one is really pleased with them.  We are sold out now except for a couple of stands that we held back as they are slightly imperfect.  We are selling these last couple of stands at the reduced price of £35 instead of £40 (postage for the UK by courier is £7.50).

As the holes for the pens are hand-drilled, it's quite a tricky process and we noticed that on these stands there are little chip marks on the rim of some of the holes and some of the holes aren't perfect.  As the stand is made of clear perspex, these are not very noticeable, and once you have the pens in, as you can see from the photo, you really won't notice any imperfections.

If you'd like to grab one of these last stands, please contact me. 

We plan to get more stands made at the end of the summer, but we will only do so if we have enough interest as the manufacturer has a minimum order.  If you'd like to be added on the list for the next batch, please drop me an email.
