New Class Dates for 2016

Hi everyone

Just popping in to say hello and to post the new dates for my card classes for 2016.  If you are in the area and want to come along just email me (address on my right hand side bar) and I will book you a seat.  We always have lots of fun exploring lots of different techniques and card styles.

If you like me are still making Christmas Cards and looking for ideas then here are some Christmas Card tutorial that might help! First up a lovely shaker card full of snow!

This one is easy peasy and looks so elegant…..

I loved this snowy scene created with my Rubber Dance Stamps.

This is so luxurious with gold foiling or embossing and then lots of layers.

Or you could follow this link to all my Christmas Card tutorials to see if there is anything that takes you fancy as you make this final cards for your friends and family.

Happy Christmas preparations and thank you for popping by X

Second Holiday Project on the Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft® Blog Today!

Hi everyone

Just a little sneak peek of what I am sharing on the Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Blog today!  Pop back tomorrow if you want to see the Flood the Streets with Art Post that is related to the creation of this project.

I had a ton of fun mixing and matching my products to achieve this Chrismassy home decor piece that I  know I am going to love hanging at this time of year!  Now where can I hang it to be sure of maximum Kisses? ;-)

Follow this link to see the whole project and exactly what I did to achieve this look.

I hope your Christmas preparations are going to plan…..I love this time of year!!  Thank you for popping by X

Quick but Lovely Christmas Card!

Hi Everyone

It is that time of year when we all want fabulous handmade Christmas Cards that you can make in minutes!  I hope you enjoy this tutorial which features a lovely SnowGlobe stamp from IndigoBlu.  This beautiful stamp needed little adornment which makes it perfect for cards in a hurry.

I think you will agree all that the gold embossing gives a simple card a luxurious feel.  I made the inside match the outside with the addition of a Circle Merry Christmas stamp….

I hope you enjoy the tutorial and as you can see from this photo this card is nice and flat so perfect for keeping the costs of posting down too.  I think I am going to make these in different colour ways…..Pink, cream and gold could be nice….what do you think?…..

I am featuring on the Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Blog twice this month so watch this space for more Christmassy makes!  I love this time of year….Ho, Ho, Ho!
