March's Cards

Sorry about the delay again this month, Blogger would let me write but not upload the pictures so until I got that corrected there seemed little point publishing this post.

This month each group will be doing slightly different cards so please take note of which group you attend. Aylsham will then get a chance to do the other cards next month.

So I'll start with Aylsham's cards

Card 1 - Youngster's age Card -this is one we had left over from last month

Card 2 - Adult's age Card

Card 3 - Cupcake & Banners - this is one that was missed when we had to cancel Decembers meeting. The flags are just scraps of patterned paper.

Card 4 - One for Easter - here we are using punches to make different flowers & even the fence is made from punches

Hethersett's Cards

Card 1 - One layout 2 Generations

You need to choose to do either card 1 or 2 from Aylsham we will not have time to do both.

Card 2 -Piece it together

This card came about when I accidently cut my image thinking it was a scrap piece of card. I do love how its turned out.

Card 3 - Kissing Technique

Here I will teach you how to add patterns to your solid stamps.

Card 4 - One for Easter

As per Aylshams card 4

February Cards

So sorry to be posting these cards so late again but having only had 2 weeks since the last meeting as well as having other demo commitments I just have not had the time to update the blog before now.

I have taken on board all of your suggestions for card themes you would like me to cover. So this month I have tried to make some child friendly cards but as I am conscious that not every member of these groups have loads of children to send cards to, I hope you can see that they can be changed to make them more suitable for adults too.

Card 1 - U Rock
This one is aimed mainly at the teenagers in our life but maybe you know an old rocker you could send it to instead.

Card 2 - One for the little girls

Think bright colours for the little girls but if you want to subdue the colours then it will make it more suitable for the older "little girls" in our lives. The words on my card were some rub ons I found in my stash.

Card 3 - Alien Invasion

I have the little boys in mind for this card. I will have all the stamps I have used.

Card 4 - One layout, 2 generations.

If we have time we will do these cards. I wanted to show you how by changing just the colours you can change the whole feel of the card. You will need to decide if you are doing a child's card or adult as this will effect the colour scheme you choose. I will have all the numbers available for you to choose from.

Here is the adult version:

And here is the child's version:

January Cards

Hi everyone hope you all had a great Christmas & New Year (boy don't they feel like a distant memory now!!!)

Can I just say on behalf of Sylvia & myself a big thank you for your continued support of these clubs. We have been meeting for about 7 or 8 years now & you are the best group of ladies we could wish to meet. I am more than happy to continue leading the groups but remember they are your groups too so if you have any ideas on how to improve the groups then please do not hesitate to let me know.

Well here we go with the first samples for 2011

Card 1- Unisex Card
This was the card we did not get time to do last month

Card 2 - Love is in the air

This can be used as a Valentine, Engagement or even Wedding card if the sentiment is changed. If you have any of your own cute stamps you would prefer to use then please do so.
Card 3 - Flower card

Card 4 - Step card

December Cards

So sorry for not having posted these samples earlier but as Sylvia explained I have been rather busy being Santa's little helper at Amy's school as well as attending 4 Nativity plays !!!!!! I'll explain more on Sunday.

As requested we have no Christmas cards this month. Not that you need them as I'm sure you all have now finished making all the cards you need.........

As mentioned in the email the first 2 cards came from a challenge by Cathy to use all the hundreds of skeleton leaves she had in her stash, I've tried to do something different with them & I'll bring along some more samples I've made up to inspire you all.

Don't worry if you have no skeleton leaves in your possession as Cathy has kindly said she does not mind people using hers....so a big Thanks to Cathy for that.

So here goes with the samples, as always please feel free to change your colour schemes to the ones you prefer.

Card 1 - Background Magic

Card 2 - Butterfly Magic

Card 3 - Cupcake & Banners

Card 4 - Unisex Card

November Cards

I do hope that everyone is keeping well & hopefully avoiding all the nasty bugs that are doing the rounds at the moment.

We have just 3 cards this month as they are more involved but I do have 1 up my sleeve in case you are all whizz kids this month. So lets get started……..

Card 1 – Medallion Trees

Card 2 – Merry Christmas to Ewe

(please excuse the pun)

Card 3

Don't forget this is your last chance to get your raffle ticket for the big Christmas draw which will take place on Sunday 12th December at Hethersett Village Hall.

STOP PRESS

All you ladies who ordered a Hougie Board from me can you please bring your money with you at this weekends meetings as they are winging their way to me as I type this.

October Cards

Well here I'm again having survived one very tiring birthday outing and sleepover or should that be "chatover".

Hope you all had a good time without me last month although I hear there were quite a few people not feeling so well, especially Sylvia who soldiered on regardless. Thanks to everyone who gave her a helping hand last month, you really are the best group of ladies I know.

So here goes with this months card samples:

Card 1 - Square Quarters

This is a different folded card that gives you 4 quarters on the card front to decorate, mine is an autumnal version but I also have a Christmas version to show you as well.



Card 2 - Bauble peel off challenge

This card is so called because Sylvia gave me a load of Christmas peel offs to try and do something with, so this is what I came up with.





Card 3 - Acetate Overlay

This card has an acetate overlay that we are going to stamp on.


Card 3 - Baby time

This card is just so cute & I'm really looking forward to making this one.
