Stocking Up

Well, I wasn't the only person who headed to to Hobbycraft to stock up on card making essentials, as I had to queue for 20 minutes to get in, but at least I won't run out of double sided tape or card blanks now.

I also treated myself to Creative Stamping Magazine (issue 89) to inspire me through the next few weeks of lockdown.

It has encouraged me to do a bit of heat embossing - a technique I have sorely neglected for a while.

Purple Angel Christmas Card

 Probably one of my last Christmas cards for this year - for my Aunt who loves the colour purple!

I'm not sure how many cards I have made for Christmas this year - but it must be more than 200, as I make for a couple of local charities as well as my large family. However, I still have lots of Xmas stash left over, as well as several stamps that I didn't get round to using!!

Watch out for Tatty Teddys!

I made these 2 cards with the free Tatty Teddy stamp in the current Docrafts Creativity magazine and I really like them, but I am worried that I cannot use them on any cards that I make for charity.

Sarpreets blog explains that Docrafts have not yet negotiated an angel policy over their use and so at the moment the images cannot be sold! I hope this can be sorted out soon as there is a whole range of cute Tatty Teddy card making stuff just been released!
