I'll add to this page as I have time - but here are the answers to some of the questions I get asked the most, hope this helps!
Q: Where do you buy your papers?
A: I LOVE 6 x 6 collection pads and get mine from Scrappin' Patch here in New Zealand. Scrappin' Patch always has a nice range of the manufacturers I love. I particularly love anything by MME, Crate Paper, Cosmo Cricket and Echo Park! You'll always find the paper name and manufacturer in the body of my text or in the supply list at the end of each post.
Q: What adhesives do you use?
A: I love Tombow Mono Multi glue for all my layering and general application, and Jody's Sticky Stuff for all my pop dots, red line tape and sticky circles. I also use a lot of Zots for sticking things like buttons, charms or extra heavy layers.
Q: What supplies did you use to create (x) card?
A: If you read to the bottom of my posts I usually post a supply list including companies in brackets. You can google to find the supplies you like. Information may also be contained in the written part of my posts and text in pink is a clickable link. If I haven't written a supply list I will almost always refer to the paper and stamps used in the body of my post.
I often refer to manufacturers by initials. MFT = My Favorite Things. MME = My Mind's Eye. SU = Stampin' Up!
Q: What Copic colours do you use?
A: I have all the Copic Ciao markers and am starting to fill in my collection with Sketch markers, especially the 0000 colours. I don't note down/photograph my colours every time I create, but you can see my Copic Colour Key series here - that will give you an idea of the combinations I love.
Q: Do you take custom orders for your cards and/or wedding invitations.
A: Yes! I'm always happy to discuss custom orders. Please email me.
Q: Do you sell your cards and/or old supplies?
A: I sure do! Because my cards tend to be oversize and loaded with embellishments, I sell them in lots on Trade Me so they can be posted parcel style.. You can see my current listings here. Trade Me is a NZ auction site but if you are located elsewhere you can check out my Etsy listings. If you are interested in an auction lot or a card you see on my blog, please feel free to email and we can discuss postage rates.
Q: I live in New Zealand, where can I buy Die-namics/MFT Stamps?
A: A number of international stores carry Die-namics but I recommend going right to the source - www.mftstamps.com. There is a cheap shipping option for orders of die-namics and stamps, and you can get a free stamp set when you spend $60!
I always order direct from MFT and love the awesome service and freebies! You can also join in with MFT sketch challenges, comment on design team posts and join in with the release party every month to be in to win vouchers towards shopping at the MFT store!
Q: How long will my MFT order take to arrive?
A: That depends, how friendly are you with your mailman?! :-D My orders generally take between 7 and 14 days to reach Wellington. I have received them as fast as 5 days before. It seems to depend on location/world events/weather and how you hold your tongue when you order! After the first few orders you'll start to get a feel for how long mail takes to your particular location.
