A big hug for the weekly deals

It has been another busy weekend, so the weekly deal post is running late - but not too late for you to grab one of these bargains.

If you treated yourself to the Bear Hugs stamp set, but decided against the framelits - now is the time to rectify that. The framelits have been designed so they are symmetrical, which means you can stamp on both the front and back of them - and then fold the arms over so they can give something, or someone a hug. In this little Mother's Day card, Mummy Bear is giving her cub a squeeze. If you are buying both the stamp set and the dies, it does still work out very marginally cheaper to buy them as a bundle, but if you just need the framelits this is £6 saving.

When these Petite petal stamps were first released they flew off the shelves and with good reason. Along with their co-ordinating punch they are so useful, not only to create a whole feature of a card like on this example, but also to give finish touches to other projects. There are six different style of flowers, so something for every occasion and style. Here I used the coordinating punch and some dimensionals to lift some of the flowers off the page. Again if you want both the stamps and punch, the bundle is the cheaper option, but the weekly deal saves you some pennies if you just want the stamps.

The other punch from the weekly deal I used, was the confetti stars punch. I used the strip I had punched across the centre of my card and some of the confetti stars as flower centres and to decorate the greeting label. This is such a useful punch to have in your supplies - and up until Tuesday you can get it at £5 off its normal price.

There are a couple of  other items in the deals. One is the extremely useful and versatile envelope punch board. Not only can you use it to create custom sized envelopes, but also boxes, crackers and projects galore. Have a search on You Tube and pinterest and you will find lots of inspiration. No self-respecting crafter should be without one of these. It is a no brainer

The other item I have my eye on, because I don't yet have these - and what better time to rectify that than when they are available at £6 off. This is the Tags and labels framelits set. They do what they say on the tin - create tags and labels and also allow you to layer them up as there is 3 sizes for each shape. Matting and layering made easy - and that is something we all love.

So here are the 5 products that are available on offer this week:

If you are interested in any of them, remember the offer finishes at 11pm on Tuesday evening.
