Happy New Year from the studio

I’m just getting back to normal, (what ever ‘normal’ is) after the break and I’m eager to get going again. I’ve not had time to do anything in my journal for the past few weeks and I’m way behind with my December daily but it’s still out on my table for now in the hope I’ll get it finished sometime within the next week or so. If not, I’ll just put it away for next year.

I think 2016 is promising to be a very exciting year and I’m looking forward to lots of new things ahead.

So to start things off for this year I’ve decided to offer everyone 20% off in the shop. There’s also a discount on the Christmas stamps from IndigoBlu so even more saving to be made there.  Just use the discount code BS20JAN16 at checkout.

Simple Stories Planners 2016

carpe diem binders

Don’t you just love these colours? They’re the new A5 planners by Simple Stories and they’re adorable.  The binders come in Black, Robin’s Egg Blue, Coral, Aqua, Platinum and Pink. I think my favourite is the Aqua but the Platinum is just as delicious.

Inside the A5 Split Leather Planner you get: (1) metal charm, (12) monthly calendar pages, (12) monthly tabbed dividers, (72) weekly inserts (1) A5 Tablet and (6) assorted inserts.

open Tonnes of space to keep stuff and plenty of room on the pages to add your own personal touch too.

If you’re interested in having one of these planners I’ll be taking pre-orders for the shop. They’ll be €42.00 excluding postage and I’ll be ordering them very soon so I can have them in the New Year. Just think of it as a Christmas present to you! Surely we deserve it!

If you’d like one just send me a mail:  jaine@basementstudio.lu letting me know which colour you prefer. Once they come in I’ll let you know and you can pay for them through the shop. You can also order directly through the shop here.

I can’t wait for mine to arrive, I’ll be itching to personalize it.

Happy weekend

Christmas In The Shop

In the studio card making production has gone into overdrive.  There’ll be glitter and sequins flying all over the place.

The shop has some of my favourite things for Christmas crafting at the moment and it’s all I can do to keep my hands off them!! Firstly for anyone needing to create a quick card or two I’ve put together these card kits. The kit includes 5 blank cards and envelopes, a gorgeous stamp from Indigoblu, a mini Versafine ink pad (water resistant for using water colour paints etc), some twine and enough backing papers to get you started.  If you click on the picture it’ll take you directly to the shop so you don’t have to search around for them.

Also I’m so in love right now with this Dutch Doobadoo stencil of stars. It’s an A5 size so is perfect for card backgrounds or journals.

As well as the Indigoblu stamps in the card kit there’s also this much bigger A6 size Christmas stamp called Baubles Flourish and I think it’s my favourite.

If you like a bit of the shiny stuff too – and lets face it who doesn’t? I’ve got flakes also from Indigoblu to complement the stamps.

Shop is open for business

shop banner-1140x380

We are so happy to announce that after months of work and planning the shop is finally open. It’s all thanks to my amazing husband Martin who has worked like a trooper to build the web site and shop and without him it wouldn’t have been possible.

I know it’s early days and there are bound to be hiccups, there always are in these sort of circumstances but on the whole I’m not expecting any dramas (she says fingers crossed).

Anyway, as I say on the banner, it’s full of the things I love and use regularly and I couldn’t be more proud.

You can visit the shop either by clicking the shop button at the top or on the photo on this blog post or simply by clicking here.
