Sprinkles of Life cupcake shaker gift tag

HELLO!!!?? CAN YOU HEAR ME OVER THE DRILLING????

Yes, the builders have moved in and, overnight, our house has become smaller. That’s not how extensions are supposed to work, is it? But they can’t build the new bit without some demolition work first so now I’m squished into the kitchen, with ear plugs in, as they are lifting the floor just on the other side of the wall. 

So I’ll keep this brief as I’m keen to get out of the house. 

This was one of the Make & Takes at my Catalogue Launch Party at the weekend. It’s a shaker gift tag and, because I didn’t have anything suitable to “shake”, I used sugar sprinkles from the baking cupboard. (I went out and bought sequins for the actual guests.) We used white jute ribbon, strands separated,  for the top. 

Can’t stand the noise any longer, sorry, gotta go!

In Color Taster packs - cardstock and ribbon!

So, what did you think to the new catalogue? I placed my order yesterday and went completely “off-list”, bizarrely ignoring items from my wish list and choosing completely different ones! I’m sure to have forgotten what I ordered so it will be a nice surprise when the UPS man turns up in a few days. 

What I can offer you from my first order is an In Color taster pack. As you know, I’m pretty slow to come round to the idea of new colours, so you may be too. With this little pack you can have a play around before deciding whether you want to invest in ink pads and full packs of cardstock/ribbon. 

This is what you’ll get in Helen’s In Color Taster Pack. There are only a few available at the moment, but I can order more!

- 1 metre of Dotted Lace Trim in each of the new colours:

- Four sheets A5 cardstock (two A4 cut down for cheaper posting) in each of the new colours:

• Cucumber Crush 
• Delightful Dijon 
• Mint Macaron
• Tip Top Taupe 
• Watermelon Wonder Dotted Lace Trim

The cost for this Taster Pack is just £8.75 if you can collect, or £10 to have it posted to you (UK only). Shout up quickly and I’ll allocate them on a first come, first served basis. If you don’t manage to get one of the first batch, I’ll put you on the list for the next order. 

I don’t have any more In Color samples to show you just yet (been too busy to play!) but there is a tiny glimpse of In Color on this project... can you spot it? This is made using the fabulous Sprinkles of Life stamp set from the inside back cover of the catalogue. For every one of these sets sold, SU will donate £2 to Ronald McDonald House Charities in the UK, helping families stay together while children are receiving medical treatment far from home.
