What A Nutcase

Hi di hi all,

I don't have a card to share with you today but I do have this!

I recently had an email pop in to my inbox from
Mr Nutcase
asking if I'd like to try out one of their phone cases & write a review!

The idea is you create a personalised case for your device.
(There are also a number of great designs to choose from)

The timing was perfect as I have been on the lookout for a case for my new phone!
I followed the steps on the website, previewed my case then submitted my order.
The process was easy to follow & done in no time!
A couple of days wait - communication was good at each step!
Et voila!

My lovely phone case arrived!
Here's the original photo which I cropped down.

The case was easy to fit & provides protection for my phone
leaving space in all the right places for buttons etc.

 

As well as phone cases, there are cases for  ipad, tablets & more!
I think it's a lot of fun & with such reasonable prices you could have a few
different cases to ring the changes!
They have also given me a discount code for everyone to use!

Just enter "Thanku10" at the checkout  to get 10% off!

Have fun if you do decide to design your own case!

New Job

Good morning all!

A nice short post from me today!

The card I have to share with you, was a commisioned card. 

Oddly enough, I've had quite a few requests for New Job cards this 

month, I wonder, is it a sign that things are improving with the economy?

Here's what I came up with!

A simple little card in pink & white!

I created the sentiment on the PC then printed, cut out with a

Nesties Label die & inked with Spun Sugar Distress ink.

I used a white base then added two embossed panels which I inked,

then covered the join with a length of seam binding.

I added a separate hand tied quadruple bow.

Inside the card I added an inked panel & a little lucky black cat,

made with a Memory Box die.

Thanks for stopping by!

Now, on to my card.

I've used the great image - Gardening Boots- His

leave a little love at each stop along the way as we have two spot prizes

If you want to know  a little more about my card, read on!

Here's a closer look at the image which was coloured with Flexmarkers,

distressed with a pair of scissors then Vintage Linen & Frayed Burlap

 Distress Inks.

The button & twine are from my stash & the sentiment is a

 Papermania stamp which came free with a magazine.

 I tried using Distress Inks to ink up the stamp but it didn't give the 

effect I was hoping for, so I used a flexmarker instead.

Thanks for hopping along!
