 EASTER

We had the most enjoyable morning crafting.

In the workshop ,we made this beautiful Easter Banner and Box.

Woodware Tiny Chippie Books were covered with spring papers and stamped using the Forever Friends Springtime clear stamp set.
Woodware Chippie Letters were inked and covered with Glossy Accents to create the word Easter for the banner .All the pieces were then strung together with Gingham Ribbon.

This would make the perfect gift for Easter or you could add an Easter Treat to the box - Chocolate perhaps!

Spring is Here!

Why not make some spring notelets and box to give as a gift or to keep for yourself so you have some cards ready at hand if needed.

These were made in the craft workshop we had this morning.

The notelets have been made with 4" x 4" pre-scored cards and using the Craft Creations toppers.They have been layered onto co-ordinating cardstock and  embellished using Ribbon,Glitter,Adhesive stones and more!

Measurements for the box are as follows :-

LID - 1 x piece of cardstock 15.5cm x 15.5cm and scored 2cm in on all four sides.

BASE - 1 x piece of cardstock 16.5cm x 16.5cm and scored 2.5cm in on all four sides.

What could be more lovely!

 

We attended the Stitches Trade Show at the NEC and saw Tim Holtz demonstrating his products and the NEW Distress Ink Markers.

The Markers are water-based inks for colouring, journaling, stamping and more. The dual tip markers are ideal for many colouring techniques. Distress Markers are available to match the Distress palette of 36 colour and White Picket Fence which we have pre-ordered.

They are a must for any Crafter and they compliment the Distress Ink Pads perfectly when finer detail is required.

We will let you know when they arrive.

London 2012

With the lead up to the Queens Diamond Jubilee and The Olympics this year we have an amazing array of patriotic products in our showroom and on our website, we have had so much fun designing these cards and hope they go some way in inspiring you to do the same.
