Book folding candle

 

July 2026

 Last class before our summer break this month, and the cards were provided by Shirley.

 This card was ideal for a man - they are so hard to make for, aren't they?  This was a clean and simple card using mats and layers and a printed image.

This one was the Christmas card - I know, I know - but it will be here before you know it!  The card was made using a stamped image, a die cut frame and an embossed background.

The last card was made using 2 printed images that were decoupaged, and a quickie glue pen and foil was used to add highlights.

 

There is no class in August, but we will be back in September!

June 2026

 Halfway through the year - where is the time going???

It's Jackie's turn to take the class this month, and we will be making the following cards.  As always, equipment needed will be provided - all you need to bring is your usual craft kit (scissors, ds tape, glue, cutting mat, etc)

Card 1

This is a 5 x 7 card, using images from a set from the Crafty Witches website.  

Card 2

This one is a 6 x6 card, and is made using some colourful background paper and some white diecuts.

Card 3

Finally, we have our Christmas card!  This one uses a simple white diecut layered onto a printed background.  Stickles glue gives some festive sparkle!

May 2026

 Shirley is leading the class this month, and these are the cards we will be making - all equipment will be provided, so only regular craft kit will be needed.  If you have a favourite colouring medium (pens, paints, coloured pencils) please feel free to bring them.

Card 1 - yes, it is a Christmas card... but there is only 7 months to go!

This card will involve some stamping and colouring in.

Card 2 (there will be a choice of topper for this one)

This card will involve some diecutting and embossing.

Card 3

This card will involve some embossing and cutting out.

April 2026

It is all about the choices... Jackie has come up with 3 cards that can be made in 2 ways.  We asked if people wanted to make a Christmas card each month, and the response was mixed - so this way everyone wins!

These are the cards - there are a choice of images for the first two.

Card 1 - Either birthday or Christmas!  Made with an embossing folder for the background.

Card 2 - Peaceful purple or bright yellow...

Card 3 -  This is a fun card that is great for someone who isn't into floral or cute cards.

February 2026

 This month it is Jackie's turn to run the class, and we will be making these cards.  As always, any equipment needed will be provided, but you should bring the standard craft kit (scissors, glue, ds tape, cutting mat etc).

Card 1 is a double fold with cut out edges - easier than you think!

Card 2 is a stamped and coloured flower image, fussy cut.

Card 3 is a simple mat and layered image

January 2026

 Another year.... I just realised this blog had it's 25th anniversary last year!

Anyway, the cards for January!  It is Shirley's turn to run the class this time and she has come up with 3 lovely cards.  Equipment will be provided - just bring your normal crafting kit.

Card 1 - embossed floral

December class

 Jackie will be leading the group for the last class of the year... 

This year has gone by so fast - it seems such a short time since it began, and now, Christmas is almost upon us.  For this class, we will be moving past the Christmas cards we have been making, and moving forward to general birthday/other occasion cards.

These cards this month will be straightforward, and only your normal kit will be required - ds tape, glue, trimmers, small scissors, foam pads.
