June Class

We have a choice of cards this month - class is being led by Shirley and we will be making a blouse and a shirt card.

One of each from the following choices.

May Class

 There will be 2 cards this month, and the class will be led by Jackie.

The first card utilises a printed image and an embossed backing paper and some printed papers from a cd.

The second card is made using a woodware stamp coloured in the colour of choice and matted and layered onto a 6 x 6 card.

Basic craft kit will be required (and some colouring pencils/ pens for the stamped Image) although some colouring pens/pencils will be available if needed.

April - Birthday card

The class in April will be led by Brenda and she will be doing this lovely birthday card in grey, with diecut background and flowers and a second card (subject to be advised!)

All materials will be provided - basic kit only required.  Although the card is shown in a box it is not so deep that it cannot go into an envelope if you prefer.

March 2016

 Shirley is taking the class this month and she has two beautiful cards for us to do!

Both feature decoupage, and are ideal for the ladies, as they feature fashion and shoes!

All materials will be supplied, but you should bring basic craft equipment with you.

February 2016

This months project is a lovely circle stepper card (class led by Jackie).

You will need to bring scissors and glue, but otherwise all materials will be provided for you. The card has some height, but will fit into an envelope.

January 2016

Brenda will be leading the class in January and we are now moving away from the Christmassy themes of recent times and will be making this gorgeous birthday card.

All materials will be provided, all that is needed is basic crafty tools.

Christmas is over ... New Year soon!

The post I thought was scheduled for Christmas Day didn't actually post.  So you get this instead!

I hope all Busy Bee members enjoyed Christmas and are looking forward to 2016.  I will be updating all the class dates shortly, and will also be uploading a picture of the new project the carders will be doing in January with Brenda...

Happy New Year everyone!

November .... and a December class for the cardmakers!

In November Jackie will be showing us how to make a desk calendar that can be given as a gift, and which will fold flat to be posted in a 6" x 4" box envelope.  Only a large stamp needed!

You will need basic equipment for this one - scissors and glue.  All materials will be provided.

A note for your diaries.... For the first time, the cardmakers will have a class in December - Saturday 12th.

 This will be along the lines of the Summer School and will be between 10am and 4.00 pm.  Tea and coffee will be supplied, along with some Christmassy goodies like mince pies and sausage rolls, but you will have to bring a packed lunch.

For the first half of the day, we will be sharing the hall with the beaders, but then we can spread out in the afternoon.

We have two lovely projects to do - pre booking will be required for both these items so that all the components can be made available to you.

Brenda will be be leading on a really special card for that special someone, utilising acetate and dies.

 

and Jackie will be leading on the making of a keepsake Christmas decoration you will bring out year after year using an MDF shape and lots of stamped and diecut poinsettias.

October already... where has this year gone?

It will be Christmas before you know it, so Brenda has done a lovely card to kick start us in the process of making our cards for her October Class.

All materials will be supplied, only your normal crafting kit need be brought...

September - a gift set

For September, the class was going to be led by Jackie, but because of time constraints for her, it will instead be led by Shirley for the first time, with Jackie's support.

We will be making a Christmas gift set based on this cute image - there will be a card, a decorated candle and a gift bag for them to go in.
