Busy Busy Busy

Sorry Sugar Babes I have not been around , what with no phone line and home and me being very busy in my other job which also has no phone connected, I have been neglecting you all. Forgive me and I will be back with you soon. Enjoy the great weather we are having in the UK and get ready for your next sugar fix :)

Sketches by Tiets


Visit Tiets and see loads of sketches that you might want to follow in creating your own sweet Sugar Nellie cards. visit http://simplyscrapcards.blogspot.com/
This little lady is awesomely talented as is Marlene and it is a pleasure to work with them both. Thank you creative designers for such wonderful cards that you create with our stamps.
After a couple of days without Internet, I have a lot to catch up with, how did we manage without our computers? Is it only me who spends way too long on the computer when there are so many other things that need doing?

Expected Delivery Date = E.D.D.

Good evening Sugar babes :)

Thank you all for your kind words, that is exactly what I was meaning when I said "you motivate me". After another stressful day I am very moved by your comments. Thank you all.(((hugs)))

Nothing excites me more than a new range, I have been very tempted to pick up my own sketch pad, its is a whole lifetime since I drew, I can not work without good designers. In the beginning we decided that we needed a mix of designers rather than only one. The illustrators who have joined our team have been a fantastic mix of girls, Eva, Linda, Rachelle and Elisabeth have all come up with great designs for us. The stamps poll we ran some time ago, proved that not one girl was the favourite and that our mix does work well together.

I view Sugar Nellie as a cake stand full of a variety of sweet offerings, some girls pick the french fancies or maybe a chocolate covered tray bake, fresh cream sponge cake or Erika's orange muffins(yummy), we all like something different as long as its sweet :)

I am forever on the look out for new designers and spend more time surfing the Internet than I do in any other part of Sugar Nellie, I hope to tell you some news soon.,but I can give you a clue....................animals ;)

Hanglar & st Anglar news..................................we have all been waiting for this, for those of you who are mothers will maybe understand, it feels like a long 9 months and we are now well past our expected delivery date LOL, when will these darling Swedish babies make there entry into the world of Sugar Nellie?
........ as the doctors told me once, "only when its ready and I am sure you'll know about it when it does!"

Loyalty

Loyalty is something rare in this business, stores have more loyal customers than web sites, the Internet opens up the whole wide world as a shopping experience and price is King and speed is Queen!



As we struggle to keep our hearts from ruling our heads at the moment with things that go on behind the scenes, we are uplifted by the loyalty shown by lovers of our stamp ranges, your kind comments and enthusiasm each time we share something new uplifts us all and fuels me on to find you something better each time.



I am a crafter first and a business owner second, I have stamped for many years, it is only late last summer that "Sugar Nellie" became a business and I have learnt so much and I strive to learn more each month and bring you something better. This is more about you and meeting your stamping needs, because without new and exciting ranges this business can not keep your attention.



The team here at Sugar Nellie, from myself who seeks out new designers all the way to the creative design team who inspire you to create beautiful things with Sugar Nellie stamps, and everyone in between.......................thank you............our loyal customers, for your continued support of this one small rubber stamp company, way up in the north of Scotland.



And with that speech over, the subject of LOYALTY was discussed with FunkyKits and it was agreed that we could work together to offer you something in the way of a bonus. We will supply FunkyKits with one stamp from each design range at a special price, we are also looking at having an exclusive stamp made which will be given away too.




This stunning card by Marlene says it all :)

New releases

More sweet rubber has arrived and we have a batch going out the door to Funkykits. Nip over and see the new designs in all their sweet glory at http://www.funkykits.co.uk/ Is it too early to think of Christmas.............the choice is yours.

We are looking to strengthen brand awareness and appreciate that when you post creations on your blog that stamps should be referred to as Sugar Nellie stamps, this will make it easier to find creations made with our stamps as we intend to blog hop and give out some free sugar to bloggers who promote our brand.

Second batch in the oven!






We have stamps from our Sweet Ebony range available soon, here is a peek to wet your appetite :)
They are beautifully illustrated by Elisabeth and there are more to come. Our creative Design team will be receiving all of these very soon and watch out on their blog (links on the right bar) for beautiful cards made with Sugar Nellie stamps.

I want to share with you...........
