Have An Ice Christmas

These cute little penguin image stamps are the latest addition to the Christmas Boutique. They went onto the web site at the weeekend.

There are 12 of them, I've called them 'Have An Ice Christmas' & they have the cutest little sentiments with tiniest little dots. I think my favourite is the fairy : )

They're £3.99 & you'll find them in here if you'd like to take a look : )

And I hope you like them!

Want Ribbons?

These are g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s! They're by American Crafts and they're my new ribbons. I bought them from QVC on Craft Day. Actually I bought 2 sets - one for me and one for you!

And they're the prize for a new challenge : )




To win them you need to make a pillow box using your Pink Petticoat goodies! And if you need a template, here is a free one you can download on this post.

Just post a comment with a link to your creation in the comments below. Or attach an image to an email and send it to me at liz@pinkpetticoat.co.uk if you don't have a blog or web site to link to.

And I'll select a winner at the end of November : ) Not a random winner for this challenge - I'm going to choose the bestest!

It should be fun - enjoy!

Colour Collection

Five lovely new additions to the Colour Collection this weekend : )

The designs are all either new designs which were included in some way in recent Collections such as Spooky Doodlies & Fairy Lights, and which lend themselves perfectly to the Colour Collection. Or they were requests.

They are Grannie's Wallpaper, Snowflakes, Ribbon Stripes, Doodles & a super value Pinstripes design which has 4 sizes included.

(The pillow box template I used to make my gift boxes is free to download from this post.)

And I hope you like them!

'Tis The Season

There's a fabulous article in this month's Cardmaking & Papercraft magazine (Issue 72 Christmas) by Dorothy Wood using the 'Tis The Season Christmas Collection.

It's called '10 ideas for Christmas', it's on pp28-30 and Dorothy has created 10 very funky Christmas items including gift tags, a gift bag, a place setting for your Christmas table & the most fantastic sweetie box!

And they all have instructions too : )

A HUGE thank you to Dorothy for all her hard work & inspiration. They're fabulous!

Pillow Box

Did you want the template for the little Pillow Box I made as a Halloween gift?


And the card I used? I made it using a ready-made A5 corrugated card base which I bought on eBay. I lined up the centre fold on the template with the fold already in the card and it made the box very simple to cut out & make.

The card is a really lovely colour & I thought they were a good price too. I'm not sure I would use them as a base for making a card as they have lines along them. But they certainly made a nice quality gift box. They were just perfect for this!
