"Spotlight" card

 We are stamping and colouring, and paper piecing in June.

Jackie is leading the class and we will be making these two cards. 

You will need to bring your normal kit with you - mat to work on, ds tape/glue, ruler, scissors/knife, and some colouring pens/pencils.  If you have a quickie glue pen you will need that for the second card.

Jackie will bring some extra pens and glue pens so if you don't have them, don't worry!

Paper pieced daisies

May 2018

The session will be led by Shirley in May - and we will be making these 2 cards.

All materials will be provided and you will just need to bring your normal craft kit - glue/ds tape, scissors, foam pads and a cutting mat.

April 2018

In April we will be making this lovely card - the session will be led by Brenda.  Welcome back to her!  

The card comes complete with a box-elope so that it can be posted without any damage.

You will need your basic craft kit for this one, but all materials to make the card will be provided.

March - Easter exploding box

It isn't a card in March - we will be making an exploding box, complete with cute basket in the centre for those mini easter eggs!

Jackie will be leading the class, and all materials will be provided, but you should bring your basic kit - cutting mat, scissors, glue, DS tape, and anything else you like to use.

2017 Charity donation

Following the vote on which charity to use for our refreshment donations in 2017, the winner was the Macmillan cancer charity, and a donation of £80 has now been made.

February class

Jackie is leading the class in February, and we will be making these two cards this month.  As always, all materials will be provided to make the cards, but you will need to bring your basic crafty kit with you to supplement it.

The first card is made using images taken from a Joanna Sheen CD, and for this card you will just need scissors and DS tape/glue.

The second card is a bit more fiddly, but the die cutting will be done for you!  The image on the topper will be stamped ready for you to colour it in.  

You can use pencils or pens or distress ink to watercolour - the choice is yours.  If you don't have any, some inks, pencils and pens will be available on the day.

Happy New Year - January class is Art Deco!

Welcome back for another year with Busy Bees....

We are making two Art Deco cards in January - with the class being led by Shirley.  As always, all materials to make the cards will be provided, but you will need to bring with you a basic craft kit, including scissors, glue and/or double sided tape.

Refreshments will be available for just a donation to our charity box - but you will need to bring a mug or cup!

December 2017

It's getting closer to Christmas... but it's not a card this month!  Jackie is leading the class and we will be making a gift with a matching tag.

So what is the gift?  It's a book folded candle!


You will need to bring a paperback book with you (around 160-180 pages) as well as your normal crafty kit.  Everything else (including the battery operated tealight) will be provided for you.

November 2017

This month the class will be led by Jackie and we have 3 more Christmas Cards.  All the necessary supplies to make the cards will be provided - you just need to bring the usual standard crafty kit with you.

The first is a white on white snowglobe, with a snowy background and snowflake embellishments.

The second is a scene with one large decoupage layer and added bling (glitter).

The third card is an aperture card with image behind.  Everyone will get the picture below.

But if you are feeling brave, or it's your thing, you can distress ink a background and stamp images instead.

October 2017

It's Christmas cards again in October!  

Shirley will be leading the class this time, and we will be making these three lovely cards.  As always, all materials will be provided, you will just need to bring the normal crafting equipment (scissors, ruler, glue, doublesided tape etc) with you.
