March 2019 - change of plan

Unfortunately, Brenda is not able to take the class in March, so we will be doing her card in April  instead.

Therefore in March, Jackie will be leading the class and we will be making this tall stepper card.

February 2019

This month we are making some more birthday cards... the class will be led by Jackie, and you will need to bring with you your normal crafting kit, including a pair of decoupage (small) scissors, some colouring pencils or pens.  All other materials will be provided.

The first card will be made using stamps and a mask

The second card will be made using an embossing folder and distress inks.  The paper may not be the same as in the example - but it will be similar.

The third card will be made using a project sheet where the images are cut out and decoupaged.

January 2019

A new year begins!  We will be making 3 cards this month in a class led by Shirley.

The first card will be showing how you can use the "waste" from an ornate die to make a card.

The second will be showing how a plain die cut can be coloured to suit your card.

The third card is a clean and simple (CAS) card made using a simple punch/die technique.

You will need to bring your normal crafting kit with you, plus some colouring pencils or pens, or paints.  All other materials will be provided.

Happy New Year!

Another year has finished and a new one has begun.  I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and New Year's Eve and are now ready for a new crafty year!

I am in the process of updating the list of dates in the side bar for the various classes, and hope this is helpful.  We are also starting to think about our Hautbois weekend away in April - planning sessions will be held soon!  I will post more information about the schedule and projects as things are agreed.   One sneaky hint though will be that the box frames I have ordered for one session have arrived....

November

We will be continuing our countdown to Christmas in November's class, which will be led by Jackie.

The project will be a festive tissue box cover, and you will be using embossing folders, and making flowers to decorate it.  Other toppers and embellishments will also be available.

You will just need to bring your regular craft kit (glue, double sided tape, scissors, craft mat) as all other materials and equipment will be provided.

October... and countdown to Christmas begins!

Shirley will be leading the class in October, and we will be making two lovely Christmas cards.  You will need to bring your basic craft kit with you - all materials will be provided.

If you haven't put your name down for October, you should let us know by 19th October 2018

September 2018

We start our run up to Christmas at the September class when we will be making this Christmas box card, which can also be used as a decoration.  

Brenda will be leading the class, and you will just need to bring your normal crafty kit with you.

August off - back in September!

We are taking a break in August - back on 22nd September, when we will be making a box frame card, featuring a winter scene.  Yes.... we will be starting the preparations for  Christmas!

Brenda will be leading the class, so if you haven't put your name down for September, please let me know.

Summer school July

 We had 2 projects at summer school this year - in the morning we decoupaged mugs using napkins and mod podge glue, and in the afternoon we made an ornate gatefold card.

June 2018

"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!
