Hiya sistahs! How are you coping with this consistent daily hammering of news :(.. staying at home.. and then with the scary news that things may start opening again. I don’t know if I am ready for that. On the other hand I am seeing so many small businesses closing permanently .. it’s breaking my heart (We are not closing! I just saw a few on facebook closing their doors and it made me so sad 🙁 ). I pray that you are all safe every day!
For a little uplifting news I know we had a sale as this virus started and then we had to close.. and then our 30 image release has had to be delayed.. so for a little bit of fun, we did a huge inventory and everything we have “in stock” and READY TO SHIP is now 40% off.. we need retail therapy.. I know I do at least.. and since times are tough right now , I thought this could add a little happiness to your lives :). It gives me happiness to have this sale. Here’s the thing.. I will be updating this section all weekend, but the quantities are limited.. so once they are sold out at this price, they go back to regular price.
Also due to volumes and our limited staff, we cannot add, remove etc from orders.. so once you place them, we cannot alter them :(.
You can find all the ON SALE ITEMS HERE and like I said, I will be adding to it.
So I hope this adds a little bit of cheer in a very grim time. I LOVE MY SISTAHS!
Ok so let’s talk BELLARIFIC FRIDAY shall we?
Debrabella used the GARDENIA from BUNDLE GIRL with a GARDENIA and our TUMBLEBLOSSOM # 10

Stamp a sentiment on the bottom section of the card front.
Cut a piece of card measuring 5.25″ x 10.5″ and fold in half to make a 5.25″ square card base. Adhere the card front using foam tape/dots. Leave enough room around the circle for a coin to move freely around it.
Place a coin slightly under the outer circle.
Again, apply foam tape/dots to the back of the smaller circle, making sure not to go to close to the edges and adhere over the coin in the centre.
Stamp Peony Baby in a Pot on to white card and colour using your desired medium. Cut out using the coordinating CUT-IT-OUT die or fussy cut with a precision scissors.
Adhere the image to the centre circle.
Cut a small square of foam tape and apply it to the centre of the coin.

It’s that time of the week again. I’ve got my spotlight out and I’m shining it on another amazing stamp – this month’s “Stamp of the Month” offer. Each month a stamp (or stamp and the coordinating die where available) is offered with a fantastic 25% off. You’ve got until the end of 30th April 2020 to grab this month’s offer, and I’m here to show you why you need it. If you already have it, I’m here to remind you why you needed it, and inspire you to get it inky!

Because Christmas stamps don’t always have to be just for Christmas! There’s nothing that screams Christmas about this image, unless you colour it that way. This time, I coloured it for a birthday card.
Stamps Used: Christmas Morning Chicks (incl sentiment).
