Hello welcome back. If you have been following me on Instagram you will know I've been really busy card making and absolutely loving it. But consequently my supplies have been getting low plus my create and craft subscription had run out. Now create and craft is a craft shopping channel. They show you how to use products that they sale. If you join the club it costs £20 and you get £10 to spend plus free gifts and 10% off everything and sometimes they give you more off. They also offer flexi pay so you can spread the cost of larger priced items. Anyway I rejoined and ordered some items that are half priced. I ordered todo basic square and rectangle dies. These are great and they fit in my big shot. This month's free gift is pictured in the middle. It's 2 banner dies and two Christmas stamps. You have to pay £2.99 postage but I love this set and it's by tonic. This is the first time I've used anything buy tonic and I'm very impressed with the quality of the stamps and dies. bellow is a simple card I made using my new dies. This card I used folk floral range and a Stampin up sentiment that I managed to fit in the banner. So let's talk basics i do love the pound the shop even though I worry how it's products are made and the ethics behind it. But they often stock branded products. Bankrupted stock?, End of line products? Who knows but these are some of the goodies I picked up. Blank card packs sorry not in the photo but they do have blank card bases and envelopes which aren't to bad. They won't hold a heavy embellished card but they are use able. I did try the glue dots and they have a lot of dove craft products. I tried the glue which is ok. Not a very big tub, I'd pick Anita's tacky glue over it. The washi tape is brilliant as the pearl drops. They did have small paper packs and resin flowers I just didn't need any but it's certainly worth a look. From September I really will pushing ahead with my Christmas cards so getting some supplies ready is important. I do love the works as they stock so many named products. I opted for some 12 by 12 papers, doilies, card blanks, bows and bells. I had to have a little play. Don't worry I will be bringing you more on these products soon. Finally I have to talk about this month's docrafts creativity Magazine I've had a supper quick peek inside, it's not really Christmasy yet but the free gifts are great. The stamps are lovely and thick and the papers are lovely.
So I'll leave you with my makes using the freebies. Thanks for reading xxx
