Monthly swap - Winter Wonderland

Cute as a Button Designs Pocket Letter Group are excited to announce our November swap - Winter Wonderland. Francesca has a lot of wonderful wintery themed digi stamps, digital papers and pocket letter sheets to purchase and print off in the comfort of your own home that will tie in nicely to this theme.

What would you go for? Blustery windy day? Snow day? Christmas - traditional or fun? With so many choices we are sure to have some lovely pocket letters being swapped.

Here is some inspiration, the Tangled Lights pocket letter kit. Isn't it amazing? I ADORE pocket letters, and can't wait to see what our members come up with from the array of stamps, papers and kits to download. Come on and join us. Closing date for entry is 15 November when partners will be picked, and then you have just over two weeks to post your swap off.

Halloween or Fall themed Challenge

Wanted to share this amazing digi stamp by Francesca Lopez - Cute as a Button. She's so adorable with her little cat too.  I coloured her with my Promarkers and then fussy cut her out and used her on my latest pocket letter, of course, Halloween themed!

I had some papers left over from some other Halloween pocket letters I have been making, and they went perfectly with the image.

She forms part of the new challenge on CAAB's latest Facebook group - Cute as a Button Designs Pocket Letter Facebook Group. It runs until 9 November and you need to use a CAAB digi stamp from the store to enter.

And here's the pocket letter I created with her.

New DT position for Cute As a Button Design Pocket Letter FB Group

Wow it's been over a month since I last posted - how can that be possible? I have to say, I've been so busy with my new passion - pocket letters, that I haven't had a chance to come on and update my blog. Very remiss of me!

All that is now changing though, as I have recently been made part of the DT team for Francesca Lopez's Cute As A Button Designs Pocket Letter Facebook Group. Now I hope that most, if not all of you who do any sort of card making and other papercrafts, would have heard of Francesca. I first heard about her when looking for Digi images for my cardmaking. Now, I adore stamps, I really do, but noone can have an infinite store of actual stamps at home, and digi stamps give you that flexibility to acquire something that's been designed by someone very talented, in a theme we want. I did a search and found Cute As A Button (CAAB) and fell in love with the beautiful images there. Wow! So to be accepted to join the team was an honour indeed for me.

The pocket letter side is very new - it's literally only been up for about two weeks, and we are busy working in the background to create a fun, interactive group for people to create pocket letters using the CAAB designs. Francesca has even designed specific Pocket Letter Kits to make it easy to create stunning pocket letters with everything you'll need - from the 9 designs for the cards, and embellishments to add to them.

There will be a monthly competition whereby Francesca will provide a FREE image for you to use in your pocket letter design, and the winner will be awarded with TWO CAAB images of their choice from Francesca's shop - how great is that!

So, please check out the new Facebook group that will showcase these gorgeous images, have regular challenges showcasing the CAAB images and those monthly competitions with the opportunity to get a free CAAB image and win prizes, plus of course, a place to show off your work using your CAAB images and kits. It's a place to talk about all things pocket letter related.

Do come and join us in one of the newest pocket letter groups on Facebook:
