We have had a Summer Themed Workshop this week...

Come Away with Me -A range from Graphic 45.

These are suitable for male relatives covering lots of occasions by changing the sentiment.

 If you have a loved one or friend that is traveling this Summer then this flip card is a great way for them to record their trip by adding Mementos or some Journaling.

     

Our ladies enjoyed learning how to make the mechanism for the flip card by attending the workshop.

More workshops next week so busy arranging things.

Hello.......
We have been creative with the Build A Flower workshop this week.Our ladies made these lovely two cards with stamp sets from Personal Impressions.

                                              

They are clear stamp sets so ready to mount onto acrylic block no messing with u-mount or adhesive.

The above card is 6" square with two mats of green cardstock 14.5cm x 14.5cm and Lavender cardstock 14cm x 14cm layered together.A piece of white cardstsock has been inked with Distress Ink - Peeled Paint and then die-cut using Sue Wilson Die - Umbria (CED1504).Layer onto mat and attach a strip of ribbon ,mount onto front of card.The flower has been created by stamping a selection of the petals from the stamp set (PICS023) giving you 17 petals.Cut out and attach to a punch circle of cardstock arranging into a flower.Mount in the centre of the card.Embellish with a Ribbon Flower and Bow.

This card is A5 .Layer mats of Purple Mirri (14.5cm x 20.5cm),White Cardstock (13.5cm x 19cm),White Cardstock inked with Distress ink - Dusty Concord (12cm x 17cm) and a die-cut using the Sue Wilson die - Spanish Background (CED 1201).Attach a punched border and ribbon ,mount onto card.

Stamp 10 large petals and 10 smaller petals,cut out.Attach large petals onto a circle of cardstock and then attach the smaller petals upside down, curl over and attach to the circle leaving room for a ribbon flower embellishment.Mount in the centre of the card and embellish with ribbon bow.

Just think how wonderful these would look in different colours or using the flower as a topper for your decorative boxes.

We will leave you with that thought .Until next time.....

Hello ,we know it's been a while......

hope the sun is shining and you are enjoying the Summer,but we have some NEW Christmas dies to tell you about.
The New Festive range from Sue Wilson has been launched and we hope you agree they are lovely.They are an elegant collection of high quality steel dies that can be used in most leading cutting and embossing machines along with co-ordinating stamp sets which can be used with the dies to create stunning effects.

                              

                

The Christmas Tree die cuts and embosses the Halo above the Tree and there is also an Angel.

       

        

These are just a couple of examples of cards that have used the Baubles,Foliage and Christmas Tree.
