Christmas Joy

This weeks workshop was a fun mixed media styled icon plaque. The ladies had to get a bit messy with paints, gilding wax and structure paste, but what we're pretty sure it was worth it! 

Ideal for adding a festive touch to wherever it is placed. To create the design the following elements where used:

- Die cutting (lots and lots of it!)

- Stamping 

- Painting (the plaque and JOY letters)

- Stencilling with structure paste

- Embossing card to use as a decorative background, which had a hint of gilding wax used to bring out the design. 

- Rosette making

Advent Calendar

Today's weekly workshop was a bit different and involved a lot of cubes, glue and decorative additions! 

The ladies constructed this wonderful advent tower, which we are sure will be taking centre stage in the home over Christmas. With Yvonne putting in a lot of prep work the ladies' main task was making the boxes, adding the decorative pieces to all sides, sounds easy but not so much when you have 24 boxes and then creating the tower.

Memory Folio

The monthly workshop gave the ladies ideas on how to create a memory folio, similar concept to a scrapbook but slimmer, or alternatively it can be used to keep notes and stationery for those that like to be organised. 

     The folio is A4 size with fold out flaps, pockets and belly bands. It was decorated with lovely co- ordinating papers and a Waterfall mechanism so extra photographs can be added

SHOP STAMPS NOW

 Back to everyday cards this week. It involved a lot of stamping to create a decoupage and a tiled look. The stamped images were coloured with Distress inks.  

For the first card (Pink Floral) a decoupaged topper in the centre and off the page images were stamped in the corners using different parts of the stamp.

The second card (Greyscale), the images were stamped and coloured before the card is embossed adding depth. By cutting the card into four squares it creates a tiled look.
