CARD CANDY SWAPS


Evening crafters

This week the postie brought me my Card Candy swaps from a Demo swap I participated in recently with my Stampin' Up! colleagues at In Love With Stampin'.  These are a great way to showcase different elements from a stamp set to make for card toppers or decorating scrapbook pages.

Mine was posted back in a previous post, together with a tutorial on how to make your own background paper to co-ordinate with your project.

NEW CHRISTMAS CARD GROUPS

Evening crafters

Following requests from some of my ladies, I recently accepted a lovely opportunity to start a craft group in the new Tesco store in Kings Lynn on the Hardwick Estate.

They have a lovely bright Community Room at the back of the store and the Community co-ordinator advised me, although they were busy, they had no craft groups.  My Public Liability cover was forwarded to them and regular classes were scheduled from 7-9pm.

The first group is now only a week away on Thursday 18th September is filling up nicely with some regulars and welcoming some new faces.  

Please click on 'Classes tab' at top of this blog to see full list of these type of classes in alternative areas. Other classes will only be published where spaces are available so please contact me if you are interested in other full or half day classes as they often fill up quickly. 

Whether you are new to crafting or a seasoned crafter, the invitation is open to you to attend my local monthly groups and create your own beautiful handmade cards, trying a new hobby, where everything is provided for you. Adhesives can be purchased from me as required. 

During each two hour class, you will make a selection of EIGHT cards, two each of four quick and easy designs.  From July to December we make Christmas cards and January to June are 'All occassion' cards.  Take your cards home with their matching envelopes, write your message, add Royal Mail postage stamps (if being posted) and put them away safely in a box ready for the festive season. 

Your collection will grow quickly but if you have lots of cards to send, additional materials can be purchased. 

The cost of each monthly class is £10.  There is a nominal charge towards cost of hall depending on venue. There will be no additional charge at Kings Lynn. 

Booking is essential to ensure sufficient supplies are ordered and kits available to you. A quick call, text or email is sufficient. 

Looking forward to seeing you there :-)

CONVENTION SWAP PREP


Afternoon crafters

Yesterday I spent a few hours with one of my Downline, Alison, preparing elements of one of my Convention swaps, mainly cutting all the card layers but also achieved one prototype.  Our European Convention in Brussels is only 36-days away and still lots to do. 

This morning, whilst the boiler was being serviced, I was in full production line mode, stamping to allow ink to dry before meeting up with other fellow Convention goers tonight to assemble our swaps.  Creating in bulk like this is always better whilst enjoying crafty chat with others.   


I'm using the new Festival of Trees stamp set together with the co-ordinating Tree Punch which, bought as a bundle together #137640 saving you 15%.  

These swaps will also be my 7-swaps for our ILWS swap this month so pop back on 20th to see the finished card.  In previous years I have done all my swaps the same but this year decided to create two different ones. Anyone taking part in both events will receive my other swap. 

While this batch were drying, my labels were created and printed, ready to stick on reverse so these are coming along nicely and may even all be finished tonight :-)

THANK YOU CARDS


Morning crafters

Sorry this didn't make it online Monday.  Unfortunately we've been having Internet issues. Free upgrade to latest BT hub should be arriving today, so in the meantime logging in to WiFi to schedule drafted posts wherever I can until new BT hub arrives. 

Following my dear friend Val's 70th birthday last weekend, these are some of the 45 Thank You cards I was asked to make for her.  


Keeping the same 'Perfect Plum' base colour as on invitations to her Open House, with side panel embossed using Delicate Designs Textured Embossing folder #127023, I used small 'splodges' from Work of Art #130342 (W) #130345 (C) in Wisteria Wonder, Smokey Slate and Perfect Plum ink pads. 

Next Watercolour Thank You #135377 (W) was stamped in Black ink through the centre. The strip along the bottom was stamped from Mosaic Madness #130246 (W) #130249 (C).
