Hello wednesday - dotty again

17/04/2013

Don't you just LOVE wednesday's? Say hello to wednesday "hello wednesday" It's all downhill from now on to the weekend - yippee!!!

Yes I have gone a bit dotty - dotty buttons, dotty ribbons...............................

ummm rather pink, I seem to be having a pink mood at the moment!. These Swiss dot ribbons are so versaltile to use and go with anything, find over sixty, yes 60 here

After alot of persuasion (nagging!) from a certain group of crafters, Tony and I find ourselves in Belfast this morning. It is about 3 or 4 years that we last visited the Belfast Show held at the Kings Hall, we gather we have been sadly missed. A group of crafters asked us very nicely on numerous occasions to come back and see them, and so we have this year.

Never visited the Belfast show? Then here are the details

You can find us here stand P37, we have oddles of new goodies to show you. Come and see all the fab chocolate and cake ribbons in real life!

We will love you and leave you we have a stand to set up, have a great day.

16/04/2013

Before I tell you who has won the 5 Friday FREEBIES this week I must tell you something VERY IMPORTANT...

I met Paul Hollywood!

I did, I did, he touched my arm - I will never wash again!! Rachie and I had an awesome time, it was just wonderful.

Anyway back to winners, we have picked the following comments, one for each collection.

Chocolate winner is - Andrea
"I think chocolate.... hmmm, yes that is true I DO think chocolate about 10 times a day!!! I just loved the chocolate card, it really looked good enough to eat, so the choccy ribbons would be wonderful"

I love your ribbons, they are so unusual.

Best wishes
Andi

Cupcake winner is - Louise
Oh it has to be the cupcakes, chocolate can fix an every day problem, but a cupcake makes the beginning to the weekend

Candle winner is - Monica
Love the candles ribbon - never need to give away your age

Baking winner is - Alison
Hi All, love the whole new collection, have had the candles, thanks. If I was lucky enough to win it would be the bake selection, I could use them in many different ways.
Thanks again and hope you did really well in London.
Alison

12/04/2013

Had a phone call earlier to say we are needed to help out at Cake International, Ali was panicking that we were running out of our fantastic new ribbons, so could we bring up more, me and Rachie took about two seconds to say YES! The thought of seeing Paul Hollywood made our tummies go all funny, only problem now is how do we tell our husbands!

Hope you all have a fab weekend, I know we will.

Bev & Rachie xx

Hello wednesday - CHOCOLATE & Bake

10/04/2013

Don't you just LOVE wednesday's? Say hello to wednesday "hello wednesday" It's all downhill from now on to the weekend - yippee!!!

Ever since I designed our chocolate bar ribbon, I have had this card idea in mind.

So, so simple to make and took no time at all. Perfect to say "Hi" to a friend. You can find the chocolate ribbons here.

What have we baked up for you today.......................

Have we left the best to last? Not sure, everyone in the warehouse has their own favourites - this collection is Tony's.

Totally scrummy delish slices of cakes and gateaus, all laid out on ribbon. Cut them up into single cakes for cards, or just wrap around a simple white iced cake to get that extra WOW factor! Not only do we have 39mm to go around a cake but we have the same delish cakes on a 13mm grosgrain, which is perfect for cake boards.

Team these ribbons up with KEEP CALM AND CUT A SLICE or KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON BAKING and you will have a perfect baked creation! You can find today's baking right here

Do you like my little mixing bowl? It is a Mason Cash one and it is so cute!

Thank you to everyone that left us a super comment yesterday - how could we just pick 10 winners? We could not, so...............................................

ALL 25 of you are WINNERS!!
Please email bev.craftyribbons@gmail.com with your address and she will send you all the Candle WANT IT ALL ribbons.
Oooooh I have been wanting to make every commentor a winner for ages

That's it.......................I have hung up my ribbon apron.

No more NEW designs for a while.............I am off to see Paul Hollywood! Anyone joining me?

How many candles?

birthday cake ribbon with candles

We think this ribbon combo is wicked.
Candles around the cake and Happy Birthday around the cake board. Super!

Perfect for any age of birthday, great or small.
