TRR #23 Newsprint Challenge

I've been rather neglecting my lovely little blog lately, we've had so many wonderful new products in and we've been busy adding them all to the shop! I'll pop some photos up and share details over the next few days.

We have new fortnightly challenge running over at our challenge blog with a chance for one lucky person to receive a £10 Gift Voucher to use in the shop! It was my turn to host the challenge and I chose this beautiful inspiration photo.....

...and ask that you create a card /project using NEWSPRINT or BOOKPRINT & RIBBONS!

There is still a week left and we'd love for you to join in and share your beautiful projects so why not pop over and take a look at the cards the Design Team have created to help inspire you.

Mini Ric Rac

We just adore this super cute mini ric rac, ideal for your card making and scrapbooking but also for your fabric projects too! I think I'm going to making some mini cushions and add this as trim.

Available in white, light pink, light blue, olive and raspberry for just £0.35p/metre.

New Nesties

We have been busy searching for new products to add to the shop and have recently added some Spellbinders Nestabilities. We've only added a few designs at the moment but if they prove popular, we'll look at increasing the range. All sets are a very reasonable £17.50 each!

With Christmas just a few weeks away, the Heirloom Ornament set is perfect for creating those special cards to family and friends.

You can never have too many of these doily style dies, these Picot Edge Circles set are perfect for layering.
If you want to add to your collection of Nestabilities, these Postage Stamp Set are just adorable and are great to add layers to your projects.If you are looking for a particular set, we would be more than happy to order in for you, just pop us an email to mail@theribbonreel.co.uk.

Have a great weekend!
