New Baby Card
Our very first grandchild was born on Saturday, June 19th. Millie arrived 5 weeks early and is very tiny and, currently, full of tubes and monitors and is living in the special baby care unit. Because it was a surprise, I was not ready with a card so had to make one in a hurry. I had recently bought...
Tri-Shutter 60th Birthday
A very good friend of ours, one of our GoldWing buddies, was sixty in December so I decided to make him a special card. It took me hours just looking through all our photographs to find suitable ones to use on the Tri-Shutter Card – partly because I get sidetracked very easily and get involved in...
Stamping Workshop part 2
The afternoon session saw Gloria and Sue swap places and Sue proceeded to show us how to make this fabulous Star Book. Again, we didn’t know what we were due to produce but had duly brought along ‘themed’ stamps as directed. My theme was ‘Christmas’, Jan’s was ‘Faces’....
Stamping Workshop part 1
We have just had a full day crafting – isn’t that every crafter’s idea of a perfect day? Several hours amongst friends playing with stamps and inks! We were not told what we would be doing during the two sessions but were advised what to bring along to work with. That’s always tricky...
Joseph’s Coat
Joseph’s Coat is an interesting technique involving the laying down of colour onto glossy card in various layers. If you Google it you’ll find all number of examples (try “Joseph’s Coat craft technique” or you’ll get links to the Technicolour Dreamcoat!). I started...
David’s Birthday Card
My boys don’t like birthday cards (or Christmas cards, get well, congrats……) but, ‘cos I like to make them, they get them anyway! David rides his bike everywhere, his only form of transport, so I decided to use the pushbike image on this card. His birthday is next week, I suppose...
10th Birthday Card
Mold Rubber Stamping Club has been running for ten years so we had a small party! We had cake with our coffee and our homework from last month was to make birthday cards to be kept in the book which Gloria is using for our keepsakes. For my card, I stamped the number 10 with a Versamark ink and embossed...
Competition entries for the Women’s Institute
When I was a member of our local W.I. (for about 10 years), I discovered a competitive streak which I didn’t realise I had! Every year there is an agricultural show which encompasses two neighbouring counties, Flintshire and Denbighshire, and my local village had not been entering much. When...
Glitter and Confetti
I hate glitter! I can’t stand the way it gets everywhere, is so full of static that it sticks to everything except what you want it to stick to, is so hard to clean up……..but I do rather like the way it looks. I saw a suggestion, can’t remember where unfortunately, for putting...
Unusual Shaped Card
At our Stamp Club last month, we were challenged with making an unusual shaped card for our ‘homework’. So, last week I took along the round card I’d made for the Fresh as a Daisy competition at Happy Stampers Festival plus this flower. I started with some plain, heavy, white watercolour...
Fresh as a Daisy
Last weekend I attended the Happy Stampers Spring Stamp Festival at Port Sunlight. As usual, there was a competition, this year entitled ‘Fresh as a Daisy’. It had a size limitation and the stipulation that it contain mainly stamped images, of course. Over the years I have entered this...
Altered Pate Dish
I seem to have collected a few empty pate dishes (really excellent stuff from CostCo!) which I’ve been keeping because I was sure there’d be something I could do with them! When I recently bought some flavoured tea bags (Lemon & Ginger etc) I decided not to store them out of sight in...
