Sugar Nellie

Paws or claws

Hello readers , I have a little question for you. Which way would you vote, for paws or claws ?

We are putting together our next release, completely new to Sugar Nellie.

But which animal do you love the most, dogs or cats.

The answer to this question will greatly influence our next set of stamps.

How do you all feel about animal themed stamps? We have had soft centres for a good few years and you may already own Custard the cow or Dougal the dog. Those early stamps have a fan base all of their own.

The next set will all be digital, I think you will understand when you see them. We are going to extend your skills with digital stamps. I am pushy, but you'll love it.

So just let me know what animal is your favourite and if you have a pet, what's its name. I am really looking for cross gender names, something that does both males and females. Share with me and you never know, we may name our characters after your pet!

Hope that little sweetener makes up for my rant 😉

Sneaky weekends coming up!

Step away from the keyboard

Multiple tasking, yup that's me. As little bit of everything, too many balls in the air at one time, as the saying goes. jack of all trades, master of none!

Funkykits, Sugar Nellie, Papercrafts and Creative are where I work. I have no set hours unless I am minding the store or teaching a class. I give Monday and Friday over to Funkykits, sometimes the days In between I will post out orders too. Being slightly dyslexic ( at my age this did not exist in school) writing is not my strong point. Emails are like the chore you put last in the day. I am coping much better now that we changed the address and got rid of 1000 of junk emails every week, yes I kid you not it was migraine stuff.

But please please try not to send me multiple emails asking the very same question. I under stand your frustration at wanting an answer to your question but I am not there 24/7. If I open the mail box and see your name over and over again it does not make me want to open yours first.

I will answer you the best I can unless
It's not in English

you ask something that has since expired,

your offering something I did not ask for

or if you are just plain rude.

Those I deleat in order to get on with the letters that do deserve and require an answer. Trust me girls, if I could answer some emails the way they were written , with "witty sarcastic humour" it might make my day! But no, I have to be a "good shop keeper" and it's a lot harder than it looks!

Little rant over!

Creativeness

Good morning sugar fans, Fi here with the Saturday post! I hope the sun is still shining wherever you are!!

Now this stamp is one of the fabby new stamps from the Scrapberry's range at Funky Kits...she's called Creativeness and is really, really pretty!!

I couldn't decode which stamp to use and then I discoverd these papers in my stash and well the rest is hostory....lol!!

So I couloured the stamp with spectrum noirs and did a spot of shading with polychromos. The papers are MME Lost and Found (I think) which I layered onto bazzill card. I added some pearls to the corners as I thought it needed something in the corners. The flower and ribbon are just perfect summery colours so thought they went quite well too...oh and did you spot that tiny guitar charm...now how cute is that??

Pop back tomorrow for another wee SN post!!

5th Avenue

Hello everyone, Lisa here with my card for this week...

I've used the gorgeous Simply Sassy stamp, 5th Avenue - she's available HERE at Funky Kits. I coloured her with copics, and then popped her on a shaped 21st card that I created using my Silhouette Cameo.

Thanks for popping in, hope you have a lovely day.

What's up?

Hello lovely sugar addicts, I am just standing in for Fiona today and you will catch up with her on Saturday instead.

Now the rush for the new Scrapberry stamps has peeked, I am back on the hunt for new artwork.

I have zero patience and waiting months for new stamps designs is killing me and Sugar Nellie. So I took the bull by the horns (as only a farmers wife can) and went out with my comfort zone. I have a new collection coming soon and wait for it, the clue is in the title.

FURRY FRIENDS

No prizes for guessing. But so far the DT are loving the art. These will be digital for now, maybe in the future our partnerships will see them as clear stamps but that is something to be worked out.

Toppers from Hobby House will be with you this summer some time. I am really excited to see what Jill's team make with these. Something to look forward too, and we will also be using Sugar Nellie toppers in our classes too.

So although it's been quiet this year so far, it looks like everything will come at once again. I am hopeless and time management. But this first part of the year had other personal things going on.

This summer gives me time to catch up , schools are out for us on Friday and my hours at work are cut to the minimum while I have children at home.

It's been a lovely few days here, but I have a list of things to do today, best get a wriggle on.

Take care

Karen
