Stamps galore




Hello guys

Welcome to the SALE! Miss Anne has emptied her drawers and are looking to get rid of some of her supplies. It is a super deal! Look through it and see what you would like. Write it down and send me or Anne a mail with the list. Some of the things are limited, so first come first serve. If the item is sold out, Anne will notify you.

Just to give you a feeling of how much you are saving we also wrote the original price. Notice that even the original price is cheaper than Panduro!

The stamps are mainly from a Swedish company called October Stamps which makes amazingly good stamps. The image is sharp and clear, they clean up easily and they very seldomly need to be trimmed. Super quality!

the price is in Danish Kroner and it always a piece, unless otherwise specified!

Happy shopping ; )

stamps






The price is a piece apart from the two sets (with the hearts and the circles and dots)

Colours ...





Chalk colours! There are two ordinary ones and one with glitter (C). The price is for a palette with 9 different colours in.
Stamp pens - use them to colour the stamp or to emboss certain parts of the stamped image. Notice the super deal if you buy a package!!
Stamp pads - what would we do without them? The one in a black package (E4) is transparent and creates a cool "shadowy" image, sort of a watermark. So cool!

Embossing ... yummy





One of my favorites - embossing!
Chunky enamel; 60 grams. It will go a long way. This is such a fabolous thing that enables you to create your own embellishments. It is too cool! As far as I know this is the only place you can get it in Denmark (please correct me if I am wrong!?!)
Ordinary embossing powder. Clear and black - kinda goes with out any explanation! And copper (no glitter) and then the lovely silver, gold and turqouise with lots and lots of sparkle! The turquise is clear but have a nice bluish sparkle to it.
And finally a heat gun; has a plug that fits the Danish sockets.

Decorations




Lovely lovely flowers. I have them and I love them. I love them so much I should even consider getting an extra set just for show ; ) They can be used for just about anything! Please specify which ones you would like.
And the embellishment set - what else do you need? Loads of brads, flowers and even ribbon. Lovely!
And glitter glue! Love it to. They look small, but they too go a long way. I have had mine for several years and there are still some left. It is almost like magic ; ) - Crystal is sold out unfortunately.

The ribbon set have been removed as it is sold out!

Rubons and stickers



The package with alphabet stickers contains to pages, one with caps and one with "small" letters. Please specify A or B.
The rubons are one page, and are available in the two colours shown; black or white

Scrapbook paper



Ordinary scrapbook paper, 12 x 12! Most of the paper is double sided. Super cool colours! I even used some of the brightly coloured for our wedding invitations

The book about Stamping


Another thing that happened this month was the stamp book-project. My sister, the talented Miss Anne, and I have been working on a book about stamping for a while. The project have been on hold for a while for almost 2 years but a few weeks ago she came over and we spend a whole week looking at stamping techniques, old cards and books and most importantly making new material, since we decided to skip all the old stuff we had made! I guess it was both good and bad since the old stuff just wasn't that good any more, but it was also sad since this means we are starting all over. Anyway we made some new projects, and this is one of the things I made. However it is not going to be in the book since there is hardly used any stamps on it, but I kinda like it. I made them using a part of a bookshelf ; )

erhmmm




We have been busy, so very busy lately! Apparently having vacation is hard work. We are back now. My husband began his new job and life is moving on as always.

I haven't gotten around to making anything for my etsy store. I did however make some gifts for the daughters of my friend, Mona. The little bag was for Rebecca who is 3 years old, and the bedlinnen with the hippo on is for Hannah who turned 2. In our family we have a goal of making our own gifts for birthdays and christmas. We are not always doing too good (Like what do you make for your older brother for his 36th birthday? I just didn't know! - we ended up giving him money for a wheel barrow for his garden work). But so far we have made our own gifts for 50% of the birthdays. There is still room for improvement, but I am also quite content, and I really enjoy making something for a person and just thinking about how they are going to enjoy getting it. I like it more than just getting a list in my hand and heading of for the nearest store, having it wrapped there and then handing it over. So I guess my challenge is now to think of something to make for my brother for christmas. Any ideas?
