Exciting news....changes are coming

Sunday, July 19, 2015

I hope you are all having a lovely weekend!

I am sorry that I haven't posted many projects over the last month, this is because I have been busy working on a few changes and a new layout for my website. 

I am pleased to let you know that the first of many changes is now complete - my new website address is now www.handmadebykim.co.uk.

I also have a new email address info@handmadebykim.co.uk should you need to contact me with any questions or comments.

You can still reach my website using the old address and if you are a subscriber through Feedburner, don't worry, you don't need to do anything at all to keep getting notifications of new blog posts. 


My social media pages have changed too - if you don't already follow me on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram or Bloglovin', please click on the links to subscribe. You can follow me on Google + too, I will be working on sharing content here in the coming months.

If you are a subscriber through Bloglovin, you may see some changes as I will be arranging for you to be moved over to my new website and removed from the old. In the meantime, you may wish to subscribe through Feedburner or subscribe to my new Bloglovin' page.

Over the next few weeks you will see more changes and when its all complete, I'll have some new projects to show you. Plus there will be some exciting news about the Stampin' Up Autumn Winter Catalogue!

One final note, today I am very close to reaching 20,000 page views! This is truly amazing and I never thought I would reach this number having only had my website for just over one year. Thank you so much for reading my blog and viewing at my projects, this makes me so happy!

Chocolate Party Favour Swaps!

Sunday, July 5, 2015


Today, I am spending the day with the lovely Pinkies. My upline Michelle Last is holding our quarterly regional training in Croughton and I am really looking forward to catching up with everyone and getting stuck into some crafting. I don't know what projects we will be making, so I am looking forward to the surprise!

As usual, we have made swaps to exchange with each other. There are lots of  benefits to making and receiving card swaps and 3D swaps; you can discover new ways to use stamp sets, fall in love with stamp sets you've never looked twice at before, look at the effect techniques you've not tried before
and use the swaps as samples at your events. I simply love to receive swaps as it feels a little bit like Christmas - its exciting and you never know what you are going to get. 

I always try and think of something different to make so you will find my swaps have really varied from project to project. Last weekend I decided to make these swaps - 3D chocolate party favours! 



I started off making a gold version then quickly decided that I needed to make a silver version too. 


Most people are drawn to either Gold or Silver - I would love to know which is your favourite? 




As you can see, each party favour contains a Ferrero Rocher chocolate. A little bit of fast fuse adhesive is strong enough to hold the chocolate in place.

Handmade card made using the Butterflies Thinlits Dies

Thursday, July 2, 2015


Another really quick card from me today. I wanted to use some of the new In Colour Designer Series Paper and also try out my new Butterfly Thinlit Dies and this is what I came up with. I have loved
seeing everyone's projects made using this die. I wasn't going to buy it but when I saw it in the new catalogue, I thought it was time to jump on the bandwagon. 



There are 4 designs available in each pack of the new Designer Series Paper - Polka Dots, Writing (you cna see the pattern in the smaller oval in the picture above), Diagonal Stripes & Tiny Flowers. So far I have got this paper in the Subtles colours and the In colours for 2014 - 2016. 

Make sure you come back and visit my blog on Sunday as I will be posting the pictures of the swaps I've made for the craft day I am attending. I am really looking forward to it and hope everyone likes my swaps.
