Introducing Evie!

Well, I've been playing around with our seasonal sweetie character and have developed them into some new on-trend beauties. Here we go... introducing Evie!

She's going to be available as both a digital image and a clear-stamp (both available from www.dreamees.org.uk)

All papers on the cards are from my favourite CD at the moment: The Elegance Collection!

Hope you like :)

Three's a stack.

So the other week I ordered a stack of 5 boxes to decorate after having an obsessive idea in my head of what I want for our NEC stand in November 2012.

Anyway, after them FINALLY arriving, I had a play today and this is what I came up with:

Papers used are from our brand new CD 'The Elegance Collection' and the Chandelier stamp is also part of the same collection. I used some paper lace from our Cuttables (Vol 1) CD, some trusty 'Walnut Stain' distress ink, my favourite Scalloped & Circular Nestabilities, a fair few buttons, ribbon lengths & flowers and a sprinkle of glamourdust!

 The massive flower is made using our 'Shaped Flower' from Cuttables Vol. 2 resized & layered multiple times - coloured in the pro-marker 'Henna' .

I don't think I'll be able to part with them after the NEC so they'll probably find a home by the fire place - Now to pluck up the courage to pack them away in the NEC box... wish me luck!

See you soon,

PS. Sorry for the poor photos - the lighting isn't great right now but excitement got the better of me! Also, the glue on the top flower isn't quite dry so it's still a little white!

Our best-selling roses!

Well, I've just had a lovely email from a customer (Maureen Palmer) showing me her beautiful card, embellished with Dreamees handmade paper roses!

Can you spot them? (The plain, striped & gingham flowers on the top left!)

You can also view the card HERE on Maureens blog!

Have a lovely Sunday,

Well I've been slacking (again!) in posting all the beautiful cards that our design team have made so I'm going to post the pictures and if you click on them, they'll link to the original post on our talented teams blog!

I hope that makes sense :)

And the following were made by our Jo!

I think you'll agree that all our design team are extremely talented & I'll be back with more cards soon!

I hope you love them as much as we do!

Jayne's Cards!

Well, today we had the surprise of these beautiful cards coming our way:

Jayne has made these using our 'Summer with Roses' stamp and 'Forever Florals' backing papers - aren't they gorgeous?
The inside uses our 'Flower Tree' and 'Friendship Sentiment' stamp too - we've never had a book like this made for us before but it really is stunning!

Jayne has also made this card with our 'Watering Can' stamp and various papers from 'Forever Florals'!

You can view Jaynes blog HERE and read the lovely write-up that she's written about the cards!

Hope you love them as much as I do!

Speak to you soon,

Sue's latest card!

Well, I thought I was getting the hang of 'constantly blogging' but once again I slacked for a few days!

I've been promising to put this card up since Sue posted it earlier this week but have just got around to writing up and grabbing the picture!

Isn't it beautiful?

This was made by our original design team member Sue - you can find most of her cards on facebook but her blog is also listed down the right side of our page :-)

See you soon,

Red & Pink

Last night, I had to finish off the last of Daisy's Jewels & Crafts samples and the only remaining stamp to use was 'House of Birds'!

So, here's what I came up with, using an unlikely combination of colours - I hope you like it.

I've always been a fan of tags, especially in the beginning of Dreamees, and thought I'd revisit the roots (so to speak!).
Products used are:
'Back to Basics' CD Rom (Backing Papers)
'Cuttables 2' CD Rom (Hinge, Butterflies, Swirls)
'Cuttables' CD Rom (Heart Doily, Swirls)
'House of Birds' Stamp

Hope you like it!

A Powder Pot!
