Calling all UK Crafters!!

Please, please, please help me!  I am coming back to the UK on Thursday so I thought I would top up on some craft bits I need, however, as I haven't purchased stuff for many years in the UK I no longer know which is a good online shop to get things from.

I need:

Purplicious Buttons
11cm x 11cm envelopes with matching cards
Very strong double sided tape
Clear gems

I will be buying alot - so if anyone can tell me good websites, that delivers fast and has excellent prices, I would really really appreciate it. 

As a reward I shall send you some lovely sun from Dubai!

Thank you so much for your time and help!

A Bed in a Card!

Morning everyone!

Well, it is my turn over at Top Tip Tuesday to do this weeks tutorial.  I chose to do an exploding box tutorial as I had never made one before but the time had come for me to make one...you will see why further down!!

This weeks challenge is:

WEDDING / ANNIVERSARY

It is that time of year for weddings so lets start spreading the love!!

Anyway, back to my creation....I got contacted from a lady in Holland who wanted to have a wedding card made for her to put money in for her friends wedding.  They were asking for donations to put towards a new bed so the lady asked me if I could somehow get a bed on the card.  Now, I don't do stamped images so I came up with the next best thing....putting a BED IN the card!!

Here it is:

I would also like to enter my box into the following challenges:

Paper Sundaes #76 - Stitching - Mine is faux on each panel
