October 2018 cards

Well hello again, so sorry about the changes in dates, blame it on the Thetford Craft Show and their mix up.

So without further ado let's get started with this month's cards

Card 1 - It's Bauble Time - this is a card I saw at the Thetford show and just fell in love with

Card 2 - Christmas  Swag

Version 1 

Or

Version 2 using the same stamps from card 1 

Card 3 - It's Wreath Time 

Black version 

White version 

To be added soon as I threw a glass of water over my original - must remember in future  no more glasses of drink on my work desk  😖

Card 4 - Circle Circle 

Hope you like our cards and hope to see you all this weekend x

Apologies

My previous post may seem a bit strange as I wrote/ posted it on Wedsnesday after Sylvia and I met up. I checked it after posting and all seemed well. It was only today that I found there was a problem when I showed it to a patient and realised this month's post was missing 😱

Still cannot figure out what went wrong but hopefully you can all, see it now 

Also we have been reminded we had said we would do the card we missed from July so please bring the supplies for that card too  ( card 3 on July's post)

September cards 2018

Hi everyone hope you are all keeping well and have had a great summer. I feel it's been ages since we met up last so really looking forward to seeing you all again, although unfortunately I will not be able to make Saturday's class due to a family party :-(

As my craft room is also out of action I spent a great day today at Sylvia's getting the cards ready for this weekends classes. I think we both had a great time and we did think we may make this a regular thing, (any excuse to craft & gossip and we are there !).

One thing we did forget was to name the cards so as this blog should be live before Sylvia gets the list out so our running order may be different and the cards may have slightly different names but hopefully you should be to match them up. So here goes with this month's sample.....

Card 1 - Extra special Poinsettia this card may take a little time but I think it's worth the effort

Here's my silver version

And this is Sylvia's gold version

Card 2 - It's a Wreath thing - don't think our cards are that different

My card

And Sylvia's 

Card 3 - It's all loops and flowers - this time we did different colours and I cannot wait to see your colour ways 

My version - purple & grey (SU's elegant eggplant & basic grey)

Sylvia's version- orange and yellow

July 2018 cards

Welll Ho Ho Ho everyone 

and that greeting can mean only one thing ....... It's Christmas in July again Woo Hoo. This is one of my yearly  highlights I look forward to .....I know I need to get out more.

So dust off your Chrimbo earrings and tinsel and let's get the Christmas festivities started.

So we are only doing 3 cards this month as the first 2 do take a little work but I promise they are a lot easier to do than they look and I hope you will love them as much as I do, so here goes with this month's samples

Card 1 - Twist and Pull card - I love this concept and think I will be doing loads of these

This was the one we didn't get round to last month

Card 2 - Circular birthday (sorry couldn't think of a better name)

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.
