About Me
- Crackers Boutique
- Manchester, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom
- I never thought I would get into blogging, but I thought I would give it a go. Crackers Boutique has been a plan for a while, the business is ran by my mum (Lorraine) and I. We have always been sewing together since I was young, however its only in the past 5 years or so that we have picked it back up into scale and we have made a number of quilts. My first Niece , mums first Grandchild Olivia came along 4 years ago and we have made a number of items for her over the years and this is what has inspired this company. I have always been a bit "crafty" as I like to call myself. My true love has always been stationary and fabric. So when I got into card making and quilting it felt like everything all fell into place and I became addicted to crafting. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy my blog. Please feel free to follow me.

Ribbon share
Hi everyone,
Long time no speak! I feel like I haven't blogged for ages!! I apologise! But not to worry as I am back!
I am currently doing a ribbon share for the new in colour stitched ribbon.
A ribbon share is where by you pay for one ribbon spool and you will receive a portion of each of the 5 in colour ribbons!
I have two places remaining and would like to put the order in as soon as possible. So please let me know if you are interested or would like more information, please email me at Sam.massie84@googlemail.com

Stampin Up pennant parade
Morning everyone,
I have had a productive morning crafting and I have made this Stampin Up Pennant Parade card.
I made this card using the matching stamp and punch by Stampin Up!
And the embellishment is using the 1" and 3/4" circle punches.
I have also embellished the inside by stamping the pennants again and the wish big sentiment! Perfect for a male and female birthday card.
I have used Stampin up 2012-2013 in colours; pool party, calypso coral and wisteria wonder. And the card stock is island indigo.
Thanks for reading.

A little bit about me.....
.....I have just started as a Stampin Up! demonstrator and I am really enjoying every minute of it. I have found I am always thinking of cards and what my next card will look like. If you need any further information on Stampin Up! Please email me on sam.massie84@googlemail.com. I have just moved to Manchester in July 2012. When I am not working or making cards I am sewing, knitting or cross stitching.
