April Class

The next Wick Hall card class will take place on 1st April, 7 - 9 pm.

We will be making these five cards. The cost of £10 will include all the materials needed to make the project and refreshments, along with half a pack of candy dots and a free raffle ticket, when I raffle a piece of the equipment used on the evening.

Suitable for beginners and more experienced crafters alike and a great way to just dip your toe in the friendly pond of crafting! I will also be offering a 10% discount on all items purchased on the night, that we used during the making of the cards.

Hope to see you there. New faces always welcome!!

Party Invites

Having a party, special celebration or getting married and fancy having a go at making your own invites. Then what about these for an idea.
Using the Simply Fabulous card pack and My Digital Studio, Stampin Up's new digital design package, it couldnt be easier and quicker. Using MDS for the backing paper and the wording took no time at all and of course can be tailored to your needs.
MDS is also useful for making a quick card without having to get all your stash out and great for posters, flyers etc, aswell as your digital scrap book layouts. A real bargin at only £13.95!
The card pack makes 8 cards and comes complete with envelopes and embellishments to glam up your creation.

Embossing project

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is a card I made a couple of weeks ago using a technique show to us at convention in Manchester last year. The butterfly image has been embossed with white, gold and silver to give a mulitcoloured effect. Simple to do but with stunning results. I have used the gold foil sheets, that are in the current seasonal catty, to matt the design on which makes the image really stand out.

As the card is slighty larger than a normal envelope I have made my own envelope with the recently introduced Envelope Punch Board, which is my favorite product of the moment and a snip at £17.95. I will be placing an order this weekend if you want me to order one for you.

 

March Wick Hall Class

Sorry guys its boom or bust with me. One week you get heaps of posts and some weeks none at all! - Sorry will try harder!

The next class at the Wick Hall is on 4th March, 7 - 9, when we are making this pop up box card and matching origami gift box. Although I have done it with flowers on a birthday theme, you could of course do your own thing and make a new baby box or male birthday box or even a wedding.

I will need to know by 22nd February if you wish to attend so that I can order the materials that weekend, so let me know asap.
