Merry Christmas...

Well I had a big plan for today's post...

A plan for a super duper sh-amazing new card to to say a HUGE Merry Christmas... and wow you all...

And then... without thinking... I tidied everything away for Christmas.... and so that plan was quickly thwarted....

And so instead... I will just say... in the largest text that Blogger will allow me...

MERRY CHRISTMAS 

TO YOU AND YOURS...
&
MAY YOUR PRESENTS BE MANY... 
AND CRAFTY!

And hopefully I may have a nice sh-amazing surprise for you for the New Year!!!

Smitten Mittens coming soon...

Introducing Smitten Mittens... another Sneak Peek from the new Autumn Winter aka Holidays aka Christmas Catalogue for you... available from 1st September... in photopolymer... as a bundle (with 10% off) or as the stamp set or dies separately...

So first a few projects to share... hot off the press...

And here are the dies...

And click here for a video showing these stamps and dies in action...

I think this will be a very popular bundle... Different sizes of mittens for all types and sizes of crafty projects!! And I know the single mitten punch etc from yesteryear was really popular... and that there were lots of people that regretted not buying them when they could... 

Back to... At Home With You for Christmas!

As it is Friday... time for a Fancy Fold card Share... and something for Christmas too!!!

So it is back to my favourite At Home With You (coupled with Seasonal Layers again) and a re-worked version of my Centre Step Easel card (for which the tutorial for the "old" or previous Hearth & Home die version is here... )

Though do spot the added letterbox detail!!! 

And the re-worked Welcome mat for the greeting... I carefully "inked" up just the frame of the mat with a Basic Black marker pen - and stamped... Then inked up the greeting and stamped it inside

Oh and the holly garland cut up for the planters.... the planters being the cut up chair again from the Seasonal Layers dies...

But don't worry I already have another of these cards made and ready for a share with more details over the next week!

Sorry it is such a quick share for today... but time has gotten away with me today and I think I am going down that with that flu bug thing...again!!! Aargh...

So an early night for me... dosed up & with a box of Balsam Tissues at my side...

Even with the box of new items sitting there desperately awaiting my attention!!!

Something for the weekend me thinks... although I have to admit that I did get my wonderful new Love Today Planner set up!!! Look!! So excited!!

And a few Sneak Peeks for you....
