It's time for another Papermilldirect offer

Hi everyone, and a big welcome to my new followers.....

Today sees the next 'Special Offer' from 

PAPERMILLDIRECT 

Our DT theme this week at Papermilldirect is 'Thank You' cards from kids.

I made a quick set of cards using scraps of various colours (I never throw scraps away!)

I'll list the colours I've used below.

The letters were cut with an X-cut alphabet die, but kids can simply write the letters by hand, if they want to do everything themselves.

Doesn't the texture of the white hammered card stock look fab?

A little bit of butchers twine on the bunting and job done!

Colours used are daffodil yellow, lime green, post-box red, raspberry pink, baby-blue, baby-pink, dark violet, teal and smooth black.....all from Papermilldirect, of course.

The weekly 'SPECIAL OFFER' is an

A4 Small Box Violet card 300gsm

This beautiful card is a very similar shade to our very popular Dark Violet card, but at 300gsm it is a must have for those of you who like their card a little thicker!

Approximately 70 - 75 sheets for the amazing price of £5.28

Hope you can find time to pop over to PAPERMILLDIRECT and checkout the range of colours....you'll be spoilt for choice... 

Back soon with some pics from Saturday's CHIPPENHAM WORKSHOP.
