Pixie Powders

I'm afraid it has been a while since I have updated my blog.  The problem is there has been so much going on that I have gotten a bit bogged down.  I now have 9 lambs to bottle feed and a friend has been poorly so I have been looking after her horse too, as well as work getting in the way.

I am pleased however that I have managed to get some time to take part in some craft classes and a couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to take part in a workshop with John Lockwood.

I had a great time playing with the new Cosmic Shimmer Pixie Powders and the Sue Wilson dies, which are a real favourite with me.

Anyway, this is the card I produced and I love the colours and the look can be changed so easily by changing the sentiment and colour!

A bit of short and sweet from me, but hope you like the card.

Take care, until next time

Demo Day with Julia & John - 9th January 2016

Had a really busy few weeks - just before my birthday hubby and I went away for the weekend and just happened, in passing (!) to drop in on Julia Watts who was holding a sale and demo day, who was very ably helped out by John Lockwood.

They did some fantastic demo's and as per normal they did some amazing sample.

I hope you are getting ready for photo overload ;-)

 

This is one of my favourites!

 

 
 

 

And this one ;-)

 

And so is this!

 

 

 

 

And this one too!

 

Well that's all for now, but will catch up soon.

 

Until next time,

Workshop with John Lockwood

I thought it would be nice to include some of the cards I have made earlier in the year at some workshops.  Back in October I attended a class with John Lockwood which was hosted by the Crafting for Pleasure group in Bristol, run by Bev Mizen and I had a fantastic day.

These are the cards we made on that day.

For this card we used:

• Sue Wilson Classic Poinsettia die
• Colour cloud - basil leaf, lemon meringue and frosty jade
• CE Double sided adhesive sheets
• Sue Wilson pierced squares
• Cosmic Shimmer Diamond Snow (I think!)
• Blue white American Seam Binding coloured with Colour Cloud basil leaf
• Pearls

We then went on to make another card - it was great to not be doing another Christmas card!!

 

For this card we used:

 

• Sue Wilson Pierced Squares
• Sue Wilson Heraldic Square
• Sue Wilson Charming Lace Trim Configuration Die
• Sue Wilson Foldover Flower Diagonal
• Cardstock - coconut white, peach and white
• Embossing folder - can't remember which one!
• Sue Wilson Stamps to Die For - Regal Blossom inner & outer stamp
• White felt & black twine

I had a lot of fun making this card but I did find it had a lot of different elements which took me quite a while to put together.  Here are a couple of close ups to show more of the detail.

 

 

 

 

I hope you have enjoyed sharing the cards I have done so far - I know I have enjoyed doing them!

 

 

Until next time
