June - a shared effort!

We had a bit of a misunderstanding in June.  We had been told that the hall was not going to be available for our cardmaking date, and although we found out at the May Class that this was not now going to be the case, the message didn't get back to Debbie and she made other arrangements for the day.

So Brenda and I will be sharing responsibilities for June and will be doing one  card each.  I will also bring some stamps and distress inks, so if there is time and people want to have a go at making a background with some stamping and distressing, they can.  

My card will be a pink centre stepper using this image.

All materials will be supplied, but normal equipment (and a smallish paintbrush) will need to be brought with you.

Brenda's card is this lovely blue one - again, all materials will be provided, but normal equipment will need to be brought with you.

May - a blingy lovely from Brenda

We are doing two cards this month, one is this lovely boxed card, and there will another card which will be flat (for easy posting!)

April Class –some parchment, some stamping..

These are the cards we are doing for April.  The class will be led by Jackie and we will be doing some faux parchment work, some stamping and distressing, and some colouring.

The first card is a monochrome one, with some parchment work background.  For this card, you will need an embossing tool and a pad (mouse mat would be fine) and a fine paintbrush.

The second card will be stamping and distressing with distress inks.  All equipment to do this will be provided.  (Some pre-stamped and distressed kits will be available for those who don’t like doing this)

The third card is an old favourite stamp – a simple exercise in colouring, using watercolour pencils.  Some will be available, but it would be helpful if you have any if you could bring them with you.  Colours may vary from the example.
If anyone doesn’t want to do one of the above cards, a limited number of a bear decoupage sheet will be available.

Ann says thank you…

Ann was very happy with the gift we gave her to let her know we are thinking of her – here is her thank you…

This is what we got her -

March quick preview…

In March the class will be led by Debbie and we will be doing 3 cards. Basic equipment will be needed, and all materials will be provided.

First, one for the ladies

Second, one for the gents

and Third, either pink or blue versions for a child.

February - die cut beauties

 In February, Brenda will be leading the class and we will be making these two beautiful cards, both of which will fit in a standard envelope.

Basic equipment only will be needed - all materials will be provided.

A reminder for January class

This is a reminder to everyone  that from January we are going to operate the same arrangements for refreshments for regular classes as we do for the summer school .

This means that while refreshments will still be provided,  we will need to bring our own mugs for our tea or coffee each time.

Thank you.

January - A pop up card

Yesterday's cardmaking class was the last one for this year.  We will be back again in the new year...

For January, the class project will be provided by Jackie - and we will be doing a pop up card that cunningly folds flat to go into a 6 x 6 envelope!

Basic equipment will be required for this project - glue, double sided tape, scissors.  All other materials will be provided.
