New Workshop dates/times !!!!

Hi all,

If you have come to this blog because you received a leaflet through your door - welcome :-) If you click on "older posts" at the bottom of the page you can scroll through previous posts and see pictures of some of the projects we have done in workshops. 


I'm very excited to announce some new days and times for papercrafting workshops. I'm going to be running them in the same venue as the Friday workshops - Cornerstone House in Cumbernauld.

There are 4 time slots to choose from:
Tuesdays at 10-11.30am
Tuesdays at 1-2.30pm
Thursdays at 10-11.30am
Thursdays at 1 - 2.30pm

Fridays at 9.30 -11am plus occasional longer sessions, to do a bigger project at 9.30-12.45pm for £12 (see sidebar for dates)

Each session lasts an hour and a half and you will get to complete one project in that time. All materials will be provided, the cost is £6.  The projects will include Christmas cards and gift boxes. You will learn a variety of techniques - rubber stamping, heat embossing, using distress inks, cosmic shimmer watercolours and other products.  Beginners welcome - no previous knowledge required.
I am hoping to run the Tuesday and Thursday workshops for 6 weeks, starting on November 2nd. If you book to come to all 6 workshops (one a week) by Oct 29th, you get a 10% discount.
The dates of the Friday workshops are on my sidebar already, and there are still places available.

I will need to get a minimum number of bookings for each session, before I can start running them, so please contact me to book your place. Email me by clicking the link on the sidebar.

I'm looking forward to meeting more crafters!

Rhino it's your birthday...

This is a pic from a walk we went near Kilsyth recently.  I like trees, so I took a pic of this one!  Anyway back to crafting, here's a pic of the card we made at my workshop on Friday.  The background paper was stamped repeatedly with Adirondack ink (denim) with the wording.  Then I cut 2 circles with nestibilities circle dies, in different shades of blue.  I stamped the rhino image 5 times on white card with the same denim inkpad, and cut out various parts. I layered them up with sticky pads, to create a decopage rhino.  The rhino and the greeting are from PartiCraft's A5 Safari stamp set, and the background wording from their A5 Monkey stamp set.  I mounted the whole thing onto an A5 white card blank. 

This Sunday is my in-laws 40th wedding anniversary, so I made this card for them. The greeting stamp is available from PartiCraft. I stamped it with perfect medium and heat embossed it with Cosmic Shimmer Golden Red Blaze embossing powder.  The shapes  were cut with my nestabilities labels dies, and distressed with red brick distress ink.

Hope they like it!

There's no workshop this friday since it is the school holidays, so the next one is Friday 22nd October.

Another tree card...

This is the card we made at the workshop on Friday. I was inspired by a similar one on Pam's blog.  I used 3 colours of distress ink, on glossy card, to make the background. I masked off an area to make a white frame, and after adding the first colour, I masked off a circle as well.  Then I stamped the images with blck archival ink.  The tree stamp is from PartiCraft's Nature A5 stamp set, and the birds are from the Religious4 A5 stamp set (also PartiCraft).

Since it is now October, PartiCraft have a new FREE gift - see the pic on my sidebar.  You can get this if you host a party this month.

Boys birthdays

Hi, here's a wee pic of a 3D card I made for my daughter's friend's birthday (he's 4).  I used the candles from the birthday stamp set from PartiCraft, stamped with perfect medium and embossed with cosmic shimmer embossing powder.  I stamped the sentiment (from PartiCraft's Safari stamp set) with black archival ink, and then used nestabilities circle dies to cut it out. I cut another, larger circle as a mat.

Mirror workshop

Hi, I thought you'd like to see some pic's from my workshop on Friday. It was a larger project - taking a plain mirror and altering it. So here are some pictures of the work in progress, and some of the finished mirrors:

This one is going to be a jungle theme, using the jungle, safari and monkeys stamp sets from PartiCraft. Stamped onto white card with archival black ink, and then painted with distress inks.This mirror was painted with a Radiant Rain paint dabber, and the embellishments were stamed and heat embossed onto white card, then painted with cosmic shimmer watercolours.  The photo doesn't show the colours very well.  The stamps on this mirror are from the Birthday and Butterfly1 stamp sets available from PartiCraft.The butterflies on this one were stamped with archival black ink, on white card and painted with distress ink. 

This was the last workshop in this temporary venue, the next block starts on Oct 1st and will be back in Cornerstone House, in Cumbernauld town centre.

Thanks for coming!

Mini-book workshop

Hi all,

Todays workshop went well. I enjoyed it, and everyone was pleased with the mini-books they made. Lynsey has a tutorial on her blog of how to make it, if you want to have a go.  Click here to go to the tutorial.

The minibook is made from a single piece of 12"x12" double -sided scrapbook paper. Then the photo's can be cut, matted and layered in different combinations. You can use stamps, ribbon, cardstock, nestabilities etc to decorate the mini-book and personalise it.  Here are some pic's of the ones we made today. Nestabilities labels dies and circles made great frames for some of the photos.

These little books are great for birthdays, celebrating grandchildren, holiday memories etc.

Hope you like it,
