April's Cards 2018

Hi everyone hope you all had a lovely Easter and that you all had loads of hot x buns, Easter eggs and roast lamb to eat ......oh I LOVE Easter.

Well on to this weekends projects we are doing cards at Aylsham and a plaque at Hethersett but they all use the same techniques which involve a LOT of MESS so have those gloves and aprons at hands if you hate getting covered in paint etc.....so here goes .......

Aylsham projects only - sorry only just realised that  all the photos have a cloudy look to them think my camera lens needs cleaning 

Card 1 Butterfly tag card

I have 2 colour ways for you but use any colours you fancy - the ribbon I coloured myself to match my butterflies 

Card 2 - Messy background

This uses most of the techniques I used on the plaque because of the colours I used it turned out quite masculine hence the car but you could use the butterflies again if you prefer.

Hethersett only - this is a plaque to cheer Amy up whilst she does her upcoming GCSEs so you will want to change the wording - I would just google "inspirational words" and you should find something you like. 

Hope you like these projects see you all over the weekend.

This month's new date - 25th March 2018

Hi everyone we now have confirmation that we can have the room next Sunday, please let us know if you will be attending or not thanks.

Hope to see you all next weekend x

Cancelled meeting

Morning ladies as we have had messages/texts from a lot of you saying they will have to give today's meeting a miss it is with regret we are cancelling today's meeting. 

We are now trying to find out if the hall is free next Sunday, if you are able to make it can you let Sylvia know and if there is enough interest we will reschedule.

Sorry again .....please stay warm and safe xxx

March 2018 cards

Hi everyone hope you are all keeping well. 

Fingers crossed the weather will be kind to us this weekend but please do watch the forecast and if we do get the bad weather we may have to postpone. I will post any postponement on the blog here so please do check before you leave home.

I am hoping we don't postpone as this month's project I really love even though it's not a card. So here is a picture of it 

It looks even better in real life and to think it all started out as a simple piece of A5 Kraft card, of which I have plenty of stock. 

I think on the supply list I missed of the following things:

Eyelets & setting tool - I will bring my crop a dile 

Paper to go in book

Button & elastic thread.

Hope to see you all Sunday 

January meeting cancelled

Please note due to unforeseen circumstances this month's group at Hethersett is cancelled. So sorry to let you down but the cards from this month will be carried over to next month.

January 2018 cards

Happy 2018 to you all, I hope this year will be a happy and healthy one for you all.

As you can see old habits die hard with me and despite my best efforts I'm being " Last minute.com "

again.......sorry....

As per the email,  this month cards are all about lolly sticks and white acrylic paint ......I know a very odd combo but I quite enjoyed using them, but I will warn you it may get a bit messy. I think I had more paint on me rather than the cards but hey ho at least it washes off easily. The sticks and paint I got from The Range for £1 each and you will have enough to make loads of cards.

So here goes with the cards

Card 1 - Shabby chic

This card is totally out of my comfort zone and although I quite like it, I think in hind sight I wished I hadn't used distress ink for my focal image, as it ran slightly when the paint hit it. I am pleased at my 1st attempt at making tea roses.....they are super easy but a tad fiddly.

Card 2 - Over the garden fence

This card is really easy to make but I think it's a card that will be noticed and yes it does stand up nicely

Card 3 will be added here after my Saturday class but in my mind I have it looking like card 2 but more manly in shades of brown but we will see.....
