Moo Cards and Cups

First up can I share this delightful gift, my friend Beki from The Ramblings of an Everyday Mummy sent me a lovely package this week with the most incredible vintage teacups in there, they truly are delightful and will take pride of place!  


In addition to these delights was the most amazing lush bath fizz, which LaaLaa recognised immediately from it's photo, she's a Lush Lush!
 
This arrived at just the right time and I enjoyed the best bath I've had in ages ~ thanks again lovely lady!

In other news, my little business cards arrived!  Yay!


They are delightfully sweet and came from Moo Cards.
I ordered some normal sized ones with rounded edges and some mini cards, Moo Cards sent me some 15% off individual codes, if anyone is wanting a discount for your first Moo Cards order drop me a line and I'll give you the code. All codes have now gone x

This left me with a little make ~ a business card holder for my handbag.  I dont want to lug a great walloping box of cards everywhere so I set to with my trusty notebook and made one.
 

I decided oilcloth would be best as it's hardwearing, then I remembered it's a bugger to sew and I wished I hadn't started.

It was ok, but I thought I could do better so I made another out of fabric and added a little elastic and button closure to this one. 

Pimped with Annie's labels.


This was mega simple to make I kind of made it up as I went.  I love the tattoo fabric, I have a thing for tattoos. I've got three ~ hidden away on my back and arm, I would have more but my hubbie hates them with a passion, one day I will get mine altered and pimped, does Cath Kidston do tattoo's?

Have you got one, or do you want one?

A little catch up post...

Well this week I have been dabbling in all sorts.  I have been making a few bits for my Easter Swap organised by the lovely Hookin' with LaaLaa so I can't really show them until my partner Gill The Vintage Gardener has received them.
What I can show you though is these cards.  
I dabbled in cardmaking many moons ago but pretty much gave it up as I am rubbish at it.  However recently I got some free Cupcake stamps with the Simply Homemade Magazine and they were just to sweet not to use.

I had never used these rubber sheet stamps before; back in my day it was all red rubber on chunks of wood.  I took advice from an expert card maker (thanks Judith) and got cracking.
 

 They are quite simple but I really enjoyed getting my stuff out again messing with promarkers and ink ~ I had it all over!  
I'm quite pleased with how they turned out.

Last week I won a giveaway hosted by the lovely Vintage Vicki, I was delighted and really pleased with what arrived, everything was right up my street!


There was a definite Red White and Blue theme, can't imagine why :)


 
Im a sucker for a brooch.


I will try my best not to kill these!

 I love it all thanks again Vicki x


p.s.don't forget there is still time to enter my Tea Cup Candle Giveaway.
