Summer Workshop - 10th August

For the summer workshop we will be having two sessions - morning and afternoon - one led by Brenda and one by Jackie.  The group will be split so that one half will work with Brenda in the morning and Jackie in the afternoon, and vice versa.

If anyone wants to come and has NOT already put their name down, they should contact Ann, or email us by 30th July 2013.  Anyone asking to take part after this date will not be able to undertake Brenda's project, as there will not be sufficient time to prepare the kit, but could still do Jackie's.

Brenda's project

This is an easel card, with a complementary small gift box.

Jackie's project 

This will be an opportunity to try out stamping, distress inks and blending brushes, and we will be making a card with a pop out inset and the cover of a memory book/photo album.

JUNE - CHANGE OF DATE!!!!

Apologies to all, but because of a clash of bookings with the Church hall, the craft class for June will now be on 29th June 2013 instead of 22nd June.

June Class

The June class will be led by Debbie, and we will be doing these two beautiful cards which were unfortunately not done when the March class was cancelled due to poor weather.

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.
