I've got a really fun age card to share today that can be easily adapted to suit any birthday you want to highlight the age on. I was inspired by the gorgeous new Brush Alphabet Die Set from AlteNew.
I die cut "four" several times using thick white card and using copics shaded just one in a rainbow effect to be my focal number. I placed this one where I wanted it first and then used the other white fours around it in different orientations to make a fun number-word background.
I coloured a strip of card with the same rainbow of markers and cut a flag end on each end and stamped a Happy Birthday sentiment from the brilliant Birthday Builder also from AlteNew which has so many different fonts in different sizes I know it's going to be one I reach for again and again and again. It'll be nice not to dig through other stamps looking for the right sentiment too.
NEWS FROM THE STORE
It's going to be a busy week in store this week as we'll start to get the first of the post trade show releases......... We'll have the following arrive this week:
Some brands are still waiting for their trade show releases to be manufactured so we don't yet know when we will get them. It seems dies are the hold up for both WaffleFlower and Flora and Fauna.
We have the new release from Neat and Tangled shipping on Monday so there is a SLIM chance we'll get it by Friday but if not it will be next week.
We've ordered the fab new release from Concord and 9th but they never ship until after they release (the 9th of each month) so it will be mid-Feb before we get that.
We have already ordered the next release from AlteNew so should be back on schedule with them now and won't miss out on any new items as we did this time. I know many of you have been disappointed that we haven't received some items - very little I could do about that because of the move so I missed the pre-order - there is only one of me and I can't yet operate a computer with my feet particularly when I didn't have internet! We have everything on back order and it will arrive soon so you won't miss out for long.
Could I also ask everyone to think about what they email - kindness doesn't cost and customers who send rude, hurtful or angry emails without thinking will no longer receive replies. We are happy to help, particularly where there is a problem with product you've received but please think about how you ask. You may feel aggrieved but if it's the first time you've pointed something out to us, please be nice and give us the chance to fix it before you hurl abuse at us!
Catch you next week.

It's going to be a busy week in store this week as we'll start to get the first of the post trade show releases......... We'll have the following arrive this week:
- Stamping Bella's year end release
- MFT's February release
- Avery Elle's December and February releases. The new stuff releases on February and it shipped yesterday so fingers crossed that customs clear it quickly and we should then have it for release day.
- We may have some Lawn Fawn restocks this week too, if not early next.
