FREE with every order!
If you make an order with me you will get not one but TWO free gifts! The first gift is a tutorial bundle of eleven cards using current products that will act as a great ideas boost for your crafting. These are from me and ten of my creative demo friends.
The picture is a sneak peek of the cards in the current October bundle which gives you ideas for CHRISTMAS cards. (The bundle changes each month so there will be a new bundle next month!)
AND if your order is over £35 you will also get to choose stuff from my online shop to the value of your order!
Have a look through the new catalogues below – there is so much to choose from.
