It seems like no time since the last class, lol...
We are meeting up again on 24th May, and these are the cards we will be making this time.

We are meeting up again on 24th May, and these are the cards we will be making this time.
I know it is a bit confusing, but April's class will now be held on 3rd May, due to a clash with the hall's availability.
This month, we will be making these three cards -
This month the class will be led by Jackie - and will be the following cards.
A basic craft kit will be needed (glue/ds tape, scissors or trimmer) because minimal additional equipment has been used this month. Extras like stickles glue etc will be available on the day.
Card 1
A happy card for any occasion - this one was made using a new file from the Crafty Witches, and I really would recommend checking out their website. This file was a new development for them - all the pieces are produced on sheets ready to print, cut out and make and they are very reasonably priced. Check them out here: The Crafty Witches
Card 2
The second card - 5 x 7 foldback card
Card 3
Our Christmas card for this month.
The class this month will be led by Shirley. Again, there are 2 birthday cards, and 1 Christmas card. Normal craft kit will be needed, i.e. scissors, glue, ds tape, trimmer etc.
The first birthday card is a decoupaged butterfly on a 6 x 6 card base.
The class this month is led by Jackie, and we will be making three cards - 2 Birthday, and 1 Christmas.
The second birthday card was made using a 7 x 5 white card base, with 2 frames cut out using the scan n cut, and a Tattered Lace die of the lady sitting at the table. The flowers can be die cut or punched, and gems were placed in the centre.
The Christmas card was made using a generic stepper card base die and some papers from Crafty Witches. The poinsettia was a die too - sorry, brand unknown for both of these!
I've been very remiss in keeping this blog up to date and to be fair, it was looking a bit tired and jaded, reflecting that.
So, I've had a bit of a revamp! The background is changed, the layout is changed, and I plan to post the next months cards here straight after the class each month.
Today the group is led by Shirley and we will be making 3 cards. You will need your normal kit (glue, ds tape, scissors, mat etc) as well as some ink pads to colour the flower. If you don't have any ink pads, don't worry as extras will be available to you.
Jackie is leading the class this month, and we will be making the following cards:
Card 1
This card is a stepper card, decorated with printed images and paper flowers.
Card 2 - 6 x 6
This card is a simple die cut image, which is matted and layered onto a plain card base
Card 3 - 7 x 5
This card is a layered one with printed and inked images, paper flowers and ribbon.
Card 1 - this will be made using an embossing folder and inks. You can choose which of these 2 folders you want to use on the day
Card 2 - This is a quick and simple card made using printed paper and inks.
We are very much in the Christmas spirit now - 3 more Christmas cards are on the menu for this month's class, led by Jackie.
Because there is quite a bit of die cutting, and a limited amount of time, a lot of the prep work will be done before the class, so you will only need to bring your normal crafting kit - scissors, ds tape, glue, sticky pads, a pokey tool and a cutting mat.
Card 1
This card is made using a stepper card die (one of my favourite card shapes, to be honest) and a snowglobe die set. The wonderfully vibrant image in the globe can be found on the The Witches Cauldron (thecraftywitches.co.uk) All of the images there are available to download, and I printed this one out using matte photo paper and my epson ecotank printer.
Card 2
This is a card made also using images from the Crafty Witches, and a frame die.
Card 3
This card is an advent card, and is made with a Moonstone die from Hunkydory. The die, and also pads with a selection of 12 top and bottom sheets can be obtained from Hunkydory or Amazon.
