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!

Just Inklined To Hop - Suitable For Father's Day

Good morning all & welcome to the 


Just Inklined Hop for June!

Suitable For Father's Day
Hopefully you have come to me from her blog.
If not pop on over & start from there, I'm sure you won't be disappointed!
Now, on to my card.


I've used the great image - Gardening Boots- His
there's also a Hers version, which is much prettier!

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!
