I've been making some lovely 3d stars from the Festival prints stack, and wandered upon an example of a Christmas wreath on Pinterest so thought I'd have a go.
I used a twiggy circle from Hobbycraft and just stuck the decorated stars to it. I used some glimmer brads, buttons and also some of the lovely clear faceted buttons from the new catalogue. The bow is the tulle from the Autumn/Winter catalogue, and of course I had to use my snow flurry die again for the glimmery snowflakes! The stars are so simple to make - Jamie now has the knack and is more than happy to do the scoring for me.

You know Christmas is coming when the Coca Cola truck is seen for the first time!
I had a fabulous day on Friday working on some samples for upcoming classes, and of course they include some Christmas items! My absolute favourite item from the Autumn/Winter catalogue is the lovely Snow Flurry die, which I've teamed here with the Northern Flurry embossing folder from the main catalogue for some really simple but very special Christmas cards.
You also can't miss the beautiful champagne and silver glimmer paper - this is so incredibly glittery, but no mess!
Don't gorget, you can order any of these items from me, so just shout on niki.ridge.nr@googlemail.com if you want anything.
I had a little play with some of my retired papers and made up these cute calendar and magnetic bookmark sets. I cased the idea for the bookmarks from the amazingly talented Kerry - please pop over to her website to see her lovely creations. I used the Mixed Bunch stamp set along with the matching blossom punch to make the flowers.
I used some sticky magnetic paper I'd been storing some tiny dies on and just snipped it up to make the closures! I'll be making some of these at my teacher gifts class in December - please shout if you'd like to bring a small person along to make some!
Everyone's been going mad for the Ornament Keepsakes bundle that is used to make the amazin ornament on the front of the Autumn/WInter catalogue, and now it gets even better!
If you purchase the Ornament Keepsakes and the Candlelight Christmas papers together you will get the matching Paper Piercing set absolutley FREE! Full details below!
Just a quick post to announce my Summer Mini Launch Party. It's on 24th May at 7.30pm at my home, and I'll be showing off some of the new products from the new mini. There will be goodie bags for everyone who comes along, and if orders on the night reach £150 one lucky attendee will be given the hostess benefits! Let me know at niki.ridge.nr@googlemail.com or 07877042498 if you want to come along.
Those of us who are lucky enough to have known for a while that there was a new Summer Mini Catalogue coming up - but we didn't know there was going to be a new LOWER PRICED starter kit coming along too!!
With the new, flexible Starter Kit, you can customise the kit - your way!. Each kit contains a business supplies pack (valued at £45 )—things that every demonstrator needs to start her business. After that, you can choose up to £130 worth of product from the catalogue - and just pay £99 and no postage!!!!
I've got loads more information, and suggested ways to put together a kit so just shout on 07877042498 or niki.ridge.nr@googlemail.com if you are interested.
Now, back to the Summer Mini. You can see the catalogue on my right hand side bar, if you'd prefer a paper copy just contact me and I'll send you one. On top of all the gorgeous stamps and ribbon there is one of my most favourite products - the Simply Scored Scoring Tool, and I'll be posting some exciting projects using this over the next few days. It also comes with a diagonal plate which is amazing for making envelopes - can't wait to get my hands on one, but not even demos were allowed to order till today!
