Winter Wonders - Launch Day Hop!

Happy Saturday Everyone!

It's an exciting day here.....

Yes, it's time to introduce some new festive friends to you!

All four super sweet new digi 'Winter Wonders' are available to buy HERE...and for this hop we decided to add in a few familiar faces too!

Please sit back and enjoy,  the overdose of snowflakes and glitter that we offer you today!

Tradition here at Sugar Nellie, dictates that a hop just wouldn't be the same without a little candy!

So, to be in with a chance of winning some, please follow the hop, leave a little love in the form of a comment, along the way and then come back here and tell me the names of all four new digi's?

Yes, it really is that simple!

Now, to start our hop off, I will send you to visit the lovely 

Lisa

Who will show you our 'Banner Boy' for this launch, in his full glory, Lisa will direct you onwards but, should you get lost along the way, the full hop order is at the bottom of this post!

Enjoy the hop and just for fun, let's have a little challenge...who will be first to get a card made with one of the new digi's? I'll be watching our Facebook group to see your posts!

Luv'n'Hugs

Rock Idol

Hello, Lisa here with my creation for this week... and I made a bit of an oops!  I didn't notice until it was too late, that the stamp I've used seems to be out of stock, sorry!... 

He is fab though, isn't he?!  This is Rock Idol, and although he's not available at the moment you can see lots of other gorgeous stamps from the Manga range here at Funky Kits.

More photos and details over on my blog here.

Thanks for popping in, hope you all have a lovely day :o)

Ooh, and hope to see you back for the hop tomorrow!

the beautifully bright Mia...

Good morning everyone I hope your having a brilliant week...are you looking forward to the new release at the weekend...your going to love them I promise...for my card to show you today I chose an older

stamp from the Bags of Fashion range...this is the gorgeous Mia but I'm afraid she was so popular you can only get her from the set of four stamps now...your eyes aren't deceiving you yes she isn't my usual softer shades, she is very bright but I did use my usual distress inks for her...all the details are on my blog as always...thanks for stopping by today.

Don't forget the blog hop on Saturday for the lush new release

Okey dokey...now...let's talk about my latest Sugar Nellie card...

This sweet little stamp from Sugar Nellie's Home Grown Collection is called "Knitted With Love" and is available HERE at Funky Kits.

I decided to make a Criss-Cross (a.k.a. "Crossover") card for this week's project! They're such fun...and so easy!! And I colored this darling image with Shin Han and Copic Sketch markers.
Here's a peek at the inside card...

SOS-messy crafter...who me?

""What can you expect, I can't be creative and tidy!LOL

While Kate's away the boss will play.......
UFO's are everywhere, yes that's right , un finished objects.
I blame pinterest myself, I have said it before, if I spent the time making instead of looking, I would be out the door with new lines for the pop up shop.

I have been running the Elgin shop for over a week now, all those hours 10 - 5, where between customers I play will new ideas and start many many things. But in that time I have only finished one new line, but I did make two of them!

Here is my masterpiece in all it's poor photographic glory.

I have been waiting for so long for these dies from sizzix to arrive. I knew exactly what I wanted to do with them and could not wait to start playing.

 Backed on black felt with the LOVE cut from stiff burlap (no idea where I got this but if you hang on to something long enough you find a use for it) and a flower cut from felt with a bead in the middle. Simply classy, and don't forget quick!

So I still have HOME and NOEL to play with.

I even plugged in the old singer sewing machine, I did have to look up some sewing instructions for this model online, great that singer have the instruction manuals to down load. This singer belonged to my late mother in law, it's date of manufacture was 1952! WOW, it's older than I am and if threaded correctly , works great.

This weeks projects will be sewn, wish me lucky and pop in and help tidy up before Kate gets back will you please. LOL.

Have a peacefull and creative weekend.

Saturday Shenanigans

Happy Saturday Everyone!

I have been burning the candle at both ends, as a very good friend was in Edinburgh for the festival this past week.

So we took the opportunity to have a catch up and see some other friends, whilst he was here. 

(and keep some hostelry owners in profits for the year)

We are also busy beavering down the 'Sugar Mines' with Christmas still in full flow, so I though I might share some of my favourite Winter stamps with you all to perhaps whet your appetite for next weekends launch and perhaps you'll see some that you've missed too!

Mina has used Furry Friends

Pat has used Squirrel Delivery Service 

Lisa has used Warm Winter Wishes

Oh, how I love these little beauties, and I'm excited for you to meet the new additions to the family. 

However, if you just can't wait for next week and would like to get cracking this weekend on your holiday creations, there are lots available for (almost) immediate delivery in our digi shop.

Please feel free to take the opportunity to share your creations with us in the challenge both on Facebook and in The Sugar Bowl. 

We'd be delighted to see them.

Enjoy your weekend, and I'll see you back here for our launch.

How Exciting!

Luv'n'Hugs

Titania

Good morning sweet friends.  As the year is half over I decided I better get busy with some Christmas cards, so that's what I'm sharing today.

 

 

I used the beautiful Titania on my card today.  She is colored with copics and colored pencils and I've sprinkled on lots and lots of Glamour Dust!  Whoever receives this card will probably still be seeing glitter everywhere for several months lol.  I've added a delicate snowflake with some pearls.  I added some lace and a flower and then used a pearl brad for the center of the flower.  The sentiment is from an older set I've had for years.  You can find all the gorgeous Sugar Nellie rubber and digi stamps over at Funky Kits. 

 

Thank you so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a fabulous weekend!

 

Hugs, Anita
