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!)

NUTTY NUTSHELLS #12

We have a great new challenge this week over at our Nutshells blog. Challenge #12 is to create something Easter/Spring themed, that's it! Nice, easy and simple, so what are you waiting for.

I have used Spring Harriet, and this is the very first easel card I have made and boy are they addictive! I love how they show off your image and lots more detail than regular folded cards.

I have used papers from my stash, decorated with my boarder punch, and Prima Essentials 7 Indeed flowers with a couple of fancy pins. To keep the card open, I have added a Prima Pebble with a vintage flower design.

We have a very exciting announcement to make on Monday with a free treat for everyone who stops by, but if you can't wait till then, join us again tomorrow for a sneak peak of whats to come!

Thanks for stopping by, Katie.

Spring Harriet

Easter Buddy Bear

Easter Nutshell Bo

EASTER BUDDY

Today we have another new Digi to share, Easter Buddy Bear. Our new Buddy image is available from tomorrow as a digital download on our Nutcrafters site.

Perfect for children and adults alike, Easter Buddy and his little bunny Friend are all ready for their egg hunt!

The image has been coloured with Promarkers and I have made a little Easter egg from an oval Nestabilitie and blue and white polka dot ribbon.

Tomorrow we will have our last New digi image to reveal for the week, hope you can join us.

Thanks for stopping by, Katie and Colette.

SPRING HAS SPRUNG

Here we are into March already! I am hoping some nice weather will be arriving soon also , but while we wait, we have a few new Spring time images to share.

Available from Friday 5th March, we have 3 new digi stamps in our store, the first of which we are revealing today, meet spring Harriet.

She looks very peaceful reading her book with her little Rabbit companion by her side (or is he a March Hare?)

Harriet has been coloured with Promarkers and the card embellished with Pima E flowers and Crystals, and a Rose Charm.

We hope you can join us tomorrow for another new preview, Thanks for stopping by, Katie and Colette.

SHADES OF GREEN

This weeks challenge over at our Nutshells blog is Shades of Green in celebration of the upcoming ST. Patricks Day.

I have chosen to use one of our NEW Cutie Pie stamps for my card - Luna Cupcake Fairy.

This is one of my favourite colour combinations, I love green on its own, but through in a touch of pink and I'm in heaven! I have finished my card with lots of sparkle (you can never have too much) and a cute cherry charm.

We also have a great prize for one lucky winner, their choice of Cutie Pie stamp and bag of co-ordinating charms.

Head over now to see some fab examples from our DT and grab all the info you need to enter :)

Thanks for stopping by, Katie.

BLOG HOP

BLOG HOP UPDATE (Monday 22nd Feb)

To ensure everyone has the chance to view all stops along the hop we are keeping it open until Midnight tonight (Monday)

Remember, you can win a stamp from each blog stop along the hop, and the full collection here, but you MUST comment at each blog, starting with Cathy.

Thank you, Katie and Colette

Here we are at long last... our very first Nutcrafters Blog Hop.

In celebration of our NEW Cutie Pie Stamp range, which is released tomorrow, we have lots of prizes to give away.

Our Cutie Pies each come with their own accessory and sentiment stamp, and are so versatile they can be used in many different ways, and are ideal for Mothers day.

For our Gift Bag we have used Birthday Girl Aster and her accessory stamp to create our own patterned paper.

We are the finishing stop on our blog hop route, so in case you have arrived here first, below is the order of the hop:

Cathy

Karen

Jacilynn

Tammy

Angela

Jenny

Jacquie

Here (Nutcrafters Blog)

Be sure to visit each one, leave your comment and head back here.

Each blog along our hop has the Cutie Pie stamp shown up for grabs, and one lucky winner who has commented at each stop and finished here with us will win all 6 stamps.

We have two previously unshown stamps to share today, so without further ado, meet Thankful Rae.

She comes with matching sentiment and Butterfly stamp, so don't waste a second 'hop' along to see them all, and as the card says 'Thanks a Bunch'!

Katie and Colette

THAT FRIDAY FEELING

Why is it that Fridays always have that party feel about them, whether you've been invited to one or not!

Well today's card certainly features a true party girl! Birthday Girl Aster is our final preview for the week, before our Blog hop on Sunday which will reveal our last two NEW stamps from our Cutiepie range, and offer a prize for each step of the way!

The Birthday Girl Aster set comes with character stamp, two sentiment stamps and large present stamp.

The full range will be available from Monday 22nd February in our Nutcrafters Store.
