Punches and Die Cuts

The new challenge on the Less Is More blog is (as it says in my title) to use 'Punches and/or Dies The availability of dies for use in cardmaking seems to have exploded recently, with many new ones appearing almost daily... do show us what you can do with them.' I've made two lots of invitations this week using die cuts and they both qualify for the Less Is More challenge. The first is a wedding invitation

Die used is a Sizzix Daisy #2.


The second 

The dies used on this one is by Cuttlebug.

Right, I'm off now, I have a train to catch but hair to dry first :) Enjoy your weekend.

Wedding stationery and.....

Christening invitations (which I have been making alongside my wedding stationery for the last six years. I feel the need to add that bit as last time I added Christening invitations to my blog, I was accused of copying someone else....a bit rich really, as it turns out!!!) Sorry about that, I just needed to say it.

Anyway onto the Christening invitations

I was really pleased when this order came in as I made mummy and daddy's wedding stationery two years ago. This is the second such order this year :)
and the wedding stationery consists of 36 day invitations with reply cards and 100 evening invitations which are being delivered today.

More of my stationery can be seen here

Right...DT work here I come, then it's an exploding box and a rubbing wedding album!

Have a nice weekend and let's hope the sunshine stays with us.

Baby shoes!!

I am hoping that someone who visits my blog can help me please.

I had a lady round this afternoon about Christening invitations (which I was really chuffed about as I made her wedding stationery about four years ago!) and the design she has chosen incorporates little silver shoes similar to these

My problem is that I never, for one minute, thought they would be discontinued (famous last words)! The good news is that I found two in my stash, the bad news is that I need 18!!! I have been everywhere I can think of, this afternoon and only found them once which is how I found out that they were dicontinued. If anyone has any lurking in the back of a drawer and are willing to sell them I will be more than happy to buy them off you or send a crafty swap or anything else you desire (within reason ;))

I have a couple more places to try before go back and tell my customer that I can't get them but am all googled out for this evening. I can here some of you asking why I took the order when I didn't have the stuff............well, as I said before, I didn't think about them being discontinued. They are not something I use any more so just thought I had some in my box!!

I would love to hear from anyone who could help me (and I'll be your best friend :)), my email address is on my side bar.

TIA
