May sneaky peek...

In May we will be doing three cards, courtesy of Jackie.

The first card is a square card and will involve some stamping using a Kanban stamp set and some simple colouring using coloured pencils, and will be suitable for the men in our lives! (Card design courtesy of Michelle at In2Crafting)

The second card will be a square card that can be used for a large number of occasions.  It will feature images from the cupcake crafting cd - A touch of Elegance.

The third card will have a different fold, but will fit into a 5" x 7" envelope.  It features images from the Debbi Moore Shabby Chic - Victorian Botanical cd

April class - 2 cards by Brenda

Brenda will be taking the class in April, and she will be bringing us two lovely cards, both keeping in mind the postage costs, so will be suitable for going inside an envelope!

The first being a stylish shoe with embossed background, ideal for the ladies.

The second is a simple but elegant white on white birthday card.

March Class cancelled due to weather

Unfortunately, the bad weather today has meant that Debbie is unable to get to us safely and therefore the class has been cancelled.

The cards that were to be done today will now be done in April.

Apologies for the inconvenience... and disappointment.

January Class - bad weather

Hi everyone, just to let you know that Ann will be taking the decision on whether the class will go ahead in the event of bad weather on Thursday this week. 

We very much hope to do so - the hall is nice and warm and I am sure everyone is raring to go and make the lovely cards that Brenda has prepared.  But we don't want to risk anyone slipping and hurting themselves. 

Ann will let me know what is happening on Thursday, and I will post it here.

Hopefully, we will see you then!

February... a sneaky peek!

February's class will be led by Jackie and we will be making 2 6"x6" square cards.

The first is a white on white gatefold card and will offer the chance to have a go at embossing and using embossing folders and the cuttlebug.

The second is a plain and simple card, made using printed toppers.

You will need to bring basic equipment (glue, double sided tape, scissors) and a fine tip felt tip pen in green.  All other materials will be provided.

Our project in January will be courtesy of Brenda and there is a choice.

Card 1

Card 2

November - nearly Christmas!

 This month is the last cardmaking class of the year and we have three lovely Christmas cards, and the class will be led by Debbie.

October - Christmas arrangement in a card

 In October we will be making a Christmas arrangement in a card.  This class will be led by Jackie.

The arrangement is made using artificial flowers, but if wanted, the card box the oasis sits in can be lined with plastic, and the oasis placed in a plastic bag and then water can be added using a pipette, so real foliage etc can be used.

For this class, the following will be needed:

• Double sided tape
• wet (clear or pva) glue
• foam pads
• scissors
• ruler

All other equipment/supplies will be provided.

September - monochrome floral card

This month the project was led by Brenda, and we made a monochrome floral card.  We used stamped flowers, and diecuts to make the background images.  The aperture in the front of the card was cut using a grand nestability. 

Summer workshops

So, the summer workshops are over for another year.  A good time was had by all, with an plentiful supply of cakes and tea and coffee to keep us going!
