For Ally Pally.... Last week was all about making samples to inspire you and show you what YOU can do with our amazing products. We've gone a bit ribbons, moulds and twines crazy this year..... and our demo is going to be WOWing you with the fabulous WOW Embossing Powders, so don't forget to stop by. Here's a very simple layout I've done for the show...showcasing our gorgeous chunky twines.. Here's another little sample, this time a card showing the Gorgeous NEW Scrummy Ribbon with the Twine and Yummy Embossed Hat Pins and Flower made from WOW Embossing Powder. If you can't get to Ally, bear with us and what we have left we'll put on the website on our return :) :) Now this week is all about packing, packing, packing oh yeah.... and more packing, got another two Stateside deliveries due in on Tues/Weds...cutting it fine I know.....but Oh so worth it  !!!

That's what I get when I'm surrounded but lush products along with being away with some great girls on the WOW Design Team. Sue O'Connell opened me up to her "Life Stones" I just loved them and Rachel Walker showed me the way with moulds...so what did I do ? I went ahead and purchased some YUMMY and I mean YUMMY MOULDS for the shop...you can virtually stroke them HERE  !!! add that to the wonderful WOW Embossing Powders and our NEW GORGEOUS GATHERED TULLE, which you can find HERE ....Incidentally :) :) :) and you can make this stunning creation in no time.... Wear it as a badge, a fascinator, in your hair or as a good old fashioned embellie !!! It had to be quick to make as we had all the NEW goodies from CHA arrive and Adrienne worked like a loon to get it checked and priced...Way to go Addi !!!!! Anyhoo's making lots of yummy little flowers for another project now. Enjoy the sunshine :) :) :) Hugs Marion xx

OK...It's a real bodge job, as I had to quickly knock it out and I apologise for the close ups on the "Stones" I forgot I didn't have Macro on .. Hey Ho... But nevertheless here's the tutorial on the "LIFE STONES" A big THANK YOU to Sue O'Connell who introduced me to these...She's FAB !! Hugs Marion xx

Oh my goodness, I can't believe it's been 2 weeks since my last blog post #hangsheadinshame !!! But I have had a bit of an excuse... I've been away working for WOW Embossing Powders at the NEC in Birmingham these last 5 days, now I'm not going to say it wasn't hard work, BUT...we do have so much fun and this time I got to meet so many of the WOW Design Team, they've seriously done some stunning projects !! It was 4 days of full on classes, with lots of help from Neil, Rachel, Nicki and Tania... thanks guys :) :) :) One of the classes we had some deaf ladies, who were such a delight, whilst we were teaching them the skills of embossing they were teaching us sign language..here's Mary and her friend showing off the wonderful card they made  If any of you who took the classes are reading this...THANK YOU.....You were all amazing !!! Now let me introduce you to the gorgeous and seriously talented Rachel, what this girl can't do with Ultra High is nobod...

This month for FANTASTIC RIBBONS it's all about RUFFLES... Now, what can be better than Grosgrain ribbon ????? POLKADOT GROSGRAIN !!!! I love it !!! Here I've used the Polkadot Grosgrain in red with white dots and cream with red dots. Take a length and do a running stitch along one edge, keep it close to the edge !, do this on both ribbons I then die cut a piece of Kraft card stock, laid a doily on it and gave it a light spritz with Shimmerz,  just to give it a bit of "texture"  and stamped a sentiment on. Attach this to the front of your card. Using a strong double sided tape attach the ribbons to the card stock Then taking some twine, wrap this around the card tying off at the front, this takes the eye away from the join of the ribbons ! I then took a couple of buttons, and tied them together with more twine...Love Twine !!! Keith.... we NEED twine, if you're reading this !!! and finished off with a bow, glue this to the ribbons, using Glossy Accents and ...
