Hi everybody! It's Blossie here . . . back at work after a little bit of time off. Just a quick post today to let you know that my first order of business was to add some goodies to the sale table - and it's now overflowing!
Hope to catch up with you all soon!
Happy New Year!
We're back to normal trading hours from today and our inspiring classes are back soon too! We have so many new classes happening this month (January). Here's a sneak peek at just a couple of Annette's card classes:
These cards are from the class Rufflez which is on next Thursday 7th January from 7pm to 9pm.
Ask and you shall receive - these cards are from a Quick Cards For Boys workshop on Saturday 16th January from 12.30pm to 4pm. Come along and create 20 cards for males/boys.
More class samples will be up in the store soon. If you haven't already, you can check out our January newsletter and class timetable here.
Here is just a few of the little cutie stamps from Basic Grey.
I overdid the pics yesterday!
Have a great night and stay safe, and if I don't see you today.....we are open until 4.00pm..... see you all in 2010.
Happy New Year from all of us here at Blossie's.
The new Basic Grey ranges have arrived and as usual they are to die for. We have two ranges, Sugar Rush which is pinks, oranges and greys, and Origins which is glorious greens, brown, cream and a citrus yellow. Take a little look below. I love them all so much I went a bit overboard with photos today.......
A whole bunch of cute bling designs and pearls in some cute designs too.
I love the Origins range, there are so many papers in it and they are a little bit vintage looking.
Come and visit me sometime, Im here 11.00am until 4.00pm today and Thursday.

Get a load of these gorgeous cupcake buttons, aren't they darling.....they have been on our counter for a week or so but got lost amongst the buckets of other goodies.
I thought they would be cute with some of this new Imaginisce paper.
Maybe some of these cute embellishments too!
The shop is open from 11.00am to 4.00pm Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday this week so pop in and visit us.

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM ALL THE GIRLS AT BLOSSIE'S. HOPE YOU HAVE A LOVELY DAY!
Here's some cards Annette made for us girls..
So gorgeous aren't they?
I'm always so amazed with the clever ideas people have. Here's some of the many Christmas cards I received with cool ideas and techniques.
Like the elf made of punched shapes..
and a touch of glitter around a flower makes all the difference (love the crackle paint too!)..
This card uses elements not traditionally used for Christmas..
This cute card has jac paper punched with a border punch and then glitter applied to it..
The use of your own artwork adds a personal touch to a card..
Thank you so much to everyone for their lovely cards - there were way too many to put them all on here!
If you're still looking for that perfect gift for someone, look no further than some of these great tools and accessories we have at Blossie's (or you might like to show these photos to someone who loves you lots and leaves the present purchasing 'til the last minute!).
What about a PINK Cuttlebug?
or a Sizzix Texture Boutique for all your embossing needs -
How about a Making Memories Slice Machine?
Or this cool paper storage unit..
If you want some ideas for the kids for the holidays why not make some Christmas bon bons? We have the bon bon snaps for $2.50 (for 6). You could use your scraps from Christmases past for this project.
Also, this is a project Annette completed using Collections chipboard products..
With these blank chipboard shapes your kids could make these cute Christmas decorations. Annette used a dressmaking pattern for her dress but you could dig out some tissue paper in pretty colours which would look very effective. See how creative they can be!
We got some new EK Success punches in and I wanted to show you how great they look when you punch these borders.
The first one is an embossed curve..
It actually embosses close to the edge (which is difficult to see in the photo).
And the second one is called "Diamond Lace" ..
What a great idea for a present for yourself for Christmas - you deserve it!
Our January newsletter is out today so get in quick to book your place in some great classes.
