Hi all, Sorry this is a day late and I am about to leave in 5 minutes. So this will have to be a really quick post. This card is another demo card I made using the Cute Companions Range.

Cute Companions Play Days

Here is another demonstration card I made last year. This was the first time i used stamps from the cute companion range. These cute animals never appealed to me, however since using them to make the demo cards I have been tempted to buy more of their range. Although never bought these animal stamps again. I did buy the S.W.A.L.K range! (More stamps that have not yet seen ink, ssshhh! don't tell hubby!)

I do look at these cards and smile at my early attempts of combing papers with colours. And can see how I have developed further with my craft.

What I wanted to show my cards, if you are not good at combing papers - don't! Stick to one and use a layout like this. With the first card i used the left overs from the punches, with the second card i used the same layout different papers, to create a masculine card.

Cute Companion 1st Card

This is my first card that I made for the Cute Companion Demonstration, I hope it all goes well. This post is scheduled to go live at 12 noon. Whilst I am typing this post 7am, the sun is out, the birds are singing and I am all packed up. I hope i have not forgotten anything. I hope to get their and get a decent car space. I hope the weather stays as it is and people will hopefully turn up to my demonstration.

When I first was given this Cute Companion stamp sets and was asked if I would demonstrate this card there was silence. Then... more silence.... Eventually Emma from the shop said, what do you think? With a fake smile, I said they are cute. I was asked to pick a set, which i said they are all cute, i like characters from both, you pick. Kim then said you can have both to play with. However I left the shop, thinking oh my.... what have I got myself into.... I have never been a fan of this range, it is not my style of card making. And I was in complete utter shock.. not sure if I could demonstrate them or not. My mum, said why did you not say no? Good question, I dont think that is in my system. I did not want to let the shop down.

However, NOW, that I have played with them I do adore them, and will probably buy more items from this range. I have had fun playing with them and making cards. My rocker blockers and stick n spray which were gathering dust have had a good play. Jayne Nesterenko has released more cute characters from this range, which will look forward to purchasing in the future.

This card is very inspired by the very talented, and owner of her own craft shop, Lyndsey Marie, she has an amazing blog.  She works regularly for various other craft magazines. This was my very first card as I have said, and at the start I was struggling. So i hope Lyndsey you do no mind, my good friend, by copying the style of your demonstration card.

Cute Companions Demonstration 1st May

I will be demonstration on 1st May with Cute Companions at:
KIM'S CRAFTS

4-8 COVENTRY ROAD
HINCKLEY
LEICESTERSHIRE
LE10 0JT
tel: 01455 619080
If you can manage to make it there I would truly appreciate your support and it would be nice to see familiar faces.

I did manage it to the shops today, and the reason for the stamp set not being listed in the leaflet is as i thought. I agreed to the do the demonstration and it wasnt agreed until after the leaflets were printed which stamps that I would be demonstrating as we were bouncing ideas back and forth for sometime.

Drum roll...

I can now reveal my next demonstration will be for the Cute Companion Stamps. In particular I will be using the Play Days and Dressing Up Stamp Set. I have enjoyed using these stamp sets and now I am a fan of this range. It has got me using my rocker blockers which were one of my craft items gathering dust.  At the same time, this reminding me of  Stick and Spray bottle which I totally forgot about.

Here are pictures of the stamp sets:
