Jay Gee's Nook Design Team

Hello

What a busy week it has been! I love this time of year, but there are just so many things that need to be done and never enough time in which to do them :)

Angeline is on a break this week, but I do have some very cute cards to share with you.

Let's start with this delightful card from Iwona with her mad colouring skills! This sweet little girl is called 'The Lost Heart' from Gorjuss and the sentiment is from 'Chit Chat' by Paper Smooches.

 Iwona

Ange has a really fun Christmas card with these two handsome guys! They are both from 'Freezy Fellas' by Paper Smooches.

 Ange

I love this little bee called 'Sweet Bee' from Lil' Inker Designs and thought she would look cute holding a balloon for a fun birthday card. The sentiment is from 'Just Dad' by Jane's Doodles.

For all my Australian friends, FREE SHIPPING on all orders from the shop continues until 24th December. 

Cheers for now :)

Cards, A Challenge And A Sale!

Happy Sunday all!

Warning! This is quite a long post LOL, please bear with me!

First up is a reminder that you still have time to enter our current challenge - it is open to everyone and there is a fabulous stamp from Purple Onion Stamps to be won. Click on the photo for the original post.

This next bit is particularly for my Australian friends - we are having a SALE over at the shop. 20% off all A Muse stamps, Elzybells stamps, Inchie Arts and Japanese Masking Tape. There are limited stocks on all items.

Now for some cards.

Ange has made a fun and colourful birthday card with 'Star boy Luka' from La La

Land. I must say her colouring is just amazing - what little boy wouldn't love this card!

Ange

Joy has created a paper pieced masterpiece! Love the distressed and rolled corners of the polaroid frame. Stamps used are 'Say Cheese' and 'Admit One', both from Lawn Fawn stamps.

Joy

I wanted to enter the current Lawnscaping Challenge, which is to 'Stamp a Scene'. I went a little different and created a scene in a painting. The little houses are a stamp from A Muse called 'Winter Houses', the frame is from Lawn Fawn's 'Fanciful Frames' and the little stars are actually the asterisk from Lawn Fawn's 'Harold' ABCs. The paper is supposed to be wallpaper and is from Basic Grey's 6 x 6 paper pad 'Hello Luscious'.

If you're still reading, thanks for sticking with me :) Have a fabulous day.

Jay Gee

Hello There...

So glad you could join me for another Sunday DT post :)

Before we get started, just a reminder about our current challenge - you still have time to enter. You can find the link here, or click on the photo on the side bar.

Lets see what the girls have come up with this week.

Joy has used 'Natures Wonder' from Practicing Creativity to create this elegant sympathy card. This set has some wonderful extra large sentiments, ideal for making your focal point.

Joy

Ange has used a number of stamps on her fabulous card. The leaves and flowers are from Practicing Creativity's 'Fall Fest', the sentiment is from Lawn Fawn's 'Hello Friend', and she has used Hero Arts 'Plaid Background' on the white cardstock.

Ange

My card uses two Lawn Fawn sets. The cute little heart image is from 'My Silly Valentine' and the sentiment is actually 3 seperate words, all from 'Sophie's Sentiments'. The ledger paper is from Jenni Bowlin.

I am entering this into Lawnscaping's current challenge - All About Love.

Have a wonderful day.

Jay Gee

PS. Check out the shop, new colours from The Twinery have arrived!

So Little Time!

Ahh!! Started back at work on Thursday and I am so tired, plus I have had very little time in the craft room. Amazing how quickly you get used to not having to go to work.

Anyway, I have just popped in to let you know that we now have yummy Wrinkled Ribbon in the shop.

I am so excited about this, the ribbon is absolutely beautiful, you will not be disappointed.

I will be back tomorrow with our DT post. See you then.

Guess what?

I have just finished loading new 2011 Hero Arts stamps into the shop! There really are some beautiful stamps - I couldn't justify keeping them all for myself.

Love new stamps!

New Stamp Line

Hello. I am so excited today!

Many of you know or have heard about the fabulously talented Jane from 'Jane's Doodles'.

What you may not know is that Jane recently decided to have her designs made into clear stamps. Yay!

Here comes the really exciting news... Jay Gee's Nook is now stocking Jane's Doodles first ever clear stamp set - Jane's Bakery. (insert happy dance!)

These stamps are absolutely fabulous quality - I know you will love them. They stamp like a dream.

Oh... here is a little sneak peak at something else from Jane that is on its way!

Merry & Bright

Hello everyone. Hope you are all having a lovely weekend.

I finally found some time to make a card today, Yay! My card was inspired by the super talented Julie Ebersole. She has been doing a challenge on her blog with Jennifer McGuire using A Muse stamps. You can see her card here.

I used some patterned paper for the background and then cut some white cardstock to resemble snow. I drew 'hill' lines with a copic marker and then added glitter. The clouds I cut out with PTI's cloud die using their felt. The Santa is an A Muse stamp that I paper pieced and the sentiment is from Hero Arts.

I am entering this card in the ABC Christmas Challenge, W for Winter Wonderland - you have to use a large expanse of white.

Hope you will pop by tomorrow to see what goodies the DT team have for you.

Jay Gee

P.S. In store today are Fiskars Compact Stamp Press. These are fabulous to use!

Fun Tape!
