...February previews Day 3, Post 2!


Right now I'm meant to be packing dies for tomorrows release, but I love cutting stuff with new dies and so I took a half hour out to make 3 little flower badges. these were ridiculously easy to make, the work of moments.

If you are new to us we are right in the middle of showing samples made with the new goodies that are coming to the store tomorrow night! (scroll right down for the DT links)

I picked 3 nesting flower dies from the new Funky Flowers die set (coming tomorrow) and cut them out twice in each colour and then layered them and stitched them all together with a co-ordinating button. Added a couple of die cut leaves to the back and Bob was instantly my uncle.

Adhered a brooch back to the bloom - I know, I'm meant to sew these on but I had the glue gun already out....


I made up little presentation cards by stamping the Seed packet image from Vintage Garden seeds. Trimmed round the edges, cutting the corners in a curve with my scissors and then sponged a bit with some rusty distress ink. I cut two tiny holes (Cropadile) in the centre of the cards through which I was able to pass the pin of the brooch to hold it on.



I was pretty elated with what I was able to achieve in such a short time, I can spend days over the one card!




Gotta run get the store ready, but if you have not been round the DT yet to see their samples for today, here they are - remember the release is tomorow night, 7.00pm my time!
