Good Morning everyone!!!
Welcome to the first Top Tip! I can't wait to see what tips you are going to share with us - share a tip and you could win one of our 3 fabulous prizes!!
It's my turn, Leanne to set the Tip for this week! I have chosen to a picture tutorial on how to make my doily flowers!
 |
| You need 4-5 doilys, a brad & some scissors |
 |
| Cut out centre of one doily |
 |
| Squish up to inner and outer circle of the doily |
 |
| First put the plain middle of doily on the brad, followed by the squished up outer ring |
 |
| Put the remaining doilys behind the centre of the flower and close the brad. (I have used 4 doilys for this flower) |
 |
| One at a time, squish the doily's around the middle of the flower |
 |
| Just keep playing until you are happy with the flower. Add glitter, anything you like for the perfect finish!! |
I would love to see if any of you do a card using my doily flowers - let me know if you do!!

Now, the whole point of Top Tip Tuesday for you to come here and leave a link to your blog giving us your Top Tip - it can be anything at all!! Now, whats on offer to you for sharing your tip?? This week we have 3 fantastic sponsors:
Winner 1
Whiff of Joy are offering one lucky winner the lovely 'Dancing Willow' stamp below:
Whiff of Joy describes Katharina Frei’s passion for stamping and card making best. Quality time with her family comes first, but she loves to spend every free second at her crafting table. To run her own stamp company with exclusive, limited ranges of cute images has always been her dream and now it has come true. Whiff of Joy celebrated will be celebrating its 2nd anniversary in October 2010. Katharina is convinced that she has been blessed with an amazingly talented team of illustrators and creative designers right from the start. She hopes other people will love the ideas and that they will spread a Whiff of Joy.
Katharina worked as Creative Designer for various well known stamp companies. It was a lot of fun, but she wanted to have more influence on the kind of images and designs that hit the market. Another reason for founding Whiff of Joy was that the German stamp market was really small (almost not existing), which was a real pity. Card Making and stamping is fairly new to Germany, Austria and Switzerland (in comparison to the United States and Great Britain). Katharina wanted to take a chance to be one of the first to bring international designs and illustrations to the German speaking countries, as well as to the other central European countries.

Wild Rose Studio is offering 2 A7 Stamps to the winner.

Prize for Featured Tip
Stitchy Bear Stamps are offering our Featured Tip 7 digi images!
'Stitchy Bear Stamps was created when a good friend of mine Sue from Beary Dust Stamps and I (Stitchy) were selling our products in the same store. One day we got an unexpected email saying that the store was shutting down and when we went to the store, poof it was gone...So, after the dust cleared and several emails later, Stitchy Bear Stamps was born. We gathered all the other creator's from the original store and away we went. It has been quite a learning experience but none the less we are growing everyday with new fabulous creators. I have always believed when God closes one door another Bigger and Better one opens ;)... Thank you all who have read our little story, I do hope you enjoyed ;) stitchy aka stitchy stamps."
