This week's instalment of our Blog Post of the Week series is a perfect example of how our shaped nesting dies result in professional-looking matting and layering. Then, paired with the Pretty Peonies collection, and letting the sentiment take centre stage, the finished design is sheer perfection. If you would like to make your own version, created by the amazing Glynis, you can follow the full step-by-step instructions on our inspirational blog!
We're continuing our Craft Your Stash series this week with this pretty pink birthday card design using the Rose Mallow Flower die and stamp set. If this is the first time you've come across our Craft Your Stash series, the aim is to revisit older collections and give them a new lease of life. We thought that this was such a beautiful flower and that you would enjoy the excuse to have a play with it! again!
We have the lovely Rebecca showing us all the stages needed to construct this design layout, so if you would like to recreate it alongside her, pop over to our YouTube channel now and craft along!
We recently launched a search for talented papercrafters to join our Design Team, and we were completely overwhelmed with the response. You really are a seriously talented bunch! We were inundated with applications, and I'm not going to lie, you all made it really hard to narrow it down!
We got there in the end, though, and we have decided which two lucky crafters will be joining our team, so we are closing the applications. We will be announcing the two new Design Team members next week, so watch this space.
I want to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you who took the time to apply for these positions. If I could have let you all join the team, I would have!
