2018 card challenge - February

[Susie.A]

If the sponsors don't have them Alison, they have a full set in TW for £6.

I have just been asking the sponsors for an acrylic block for stamping 8"x3" minimum, but no luck. Scrapmate came up with a great idea which I'd sort of thought of, she suggested using a plate off a cutting machine. I'd already tried the lid of my WRMK precision press which worked fine but today I tried the plate of the Spellbinders Platinum because I got two sizes of plates and I only use the A4, if I am cutting small I often get my CB out instead. Anyway, it worked fine, a bit on the thin side, rather like the Tim Holtz ones but it will do for now until I can find something thicker. It would be tricky if I had long nails but I tend to cut them short because they grow so quickly.

I have my UK friend on high alert she on the look out for stitching dies but I may have said to look in the wrong place she often goes in the range or the works what's TW?

[Susie.A]

It's the shop you've just mentioned Denise.

Oh pretty Elaine and I love that flower stamp, what a perfect touch with the pearl in the centre.

[RED HEAD]

Lovely Elaine.
It’s funny ,I was just looking at the stitched Squares you sent me, and
wondering how to make them work on a card!
You have now done it, with hexagons too , and pearls

More stitched squares on the way to you too Ellie!

[RED HEAD]

Maybe Susie, I’m working on it

[Susie.A]

I mean your package went in the post today, square, circles and what have you. Should be there for Monday.

[RED HEAD]

OH THank you, in advance. Looking forward to seeing them
Ellie

[Susie.A]

Don't look forward to seeing them too much as he brought them back again. The post office is usually open until 5.30pm every day, but hubby reckons they were closing when he got there and he went out about 4pm. Sorry Ellie but it will go Monday. I'd stick a few stamps on but I wouldn't want you to get stung for postage, best to get it weighed. Sorry.

My friend was in town and picked up the TW set of stitched square dies for me, better make some more cards now !!
Another friend made some cards today using a pinked edge square punch she found in my box, didn’t even know I had it ! (Must have been one of mums). It made a nice variation on plain edge squares

[RED HEAD]

That’s ok Susie, don’t worry about it. I will get them when they come

That sounds interesting Alison. The more variation the better ,I say.

They have a nice set of circle stitched too Alison, if you don't already have them. I could cut you some if you want to see them first.
