PartiCraft party

Hi, I've been very busy this past week so not time for blogging unfortunately.

I did a PartiCraft party for my sister in Garelochhead, so I thought  I'd put up a pic. It was a fun evening.

I have some pics from Friday's workshop as well...so I will post them tomorrow.

If you were at the party - I hope you enjoyed it, and that you are now enjoying using your stamps and embossing powders.

Have fun crafting

Light of the World stamp set

Hi all,

I was really pleased to have some new faces at the workshop today - hope you all enjoyed it! Here are some pics of the cards:

We used distress inks to edge 2 pieces of white card, one with shabby shutters and the other with fired brick. Then the baubles and other images were stamped with the same 2 colours of distress ink.  One lady added a purple element by using dusty concord distress ink, and stamping snowflakes ( from the Medallion set 2 A4 stamp set). The "Light of the world" stamp set from PartiCraft is great because the images are designed to fit into the baubles, so there are lots of possible combinations.

Using distress ink like this means you can always get a mat for your cards to match the ink you use for the images.  I saw Sue demo these techniques on Create and Craft a while ago.

We used double-sided tape to edge the white card and poured Cosmic Shimmer Aurora glitter onto the tape to give a glittery frame.  The layers were stacked up and mounted on a card blank, made from either dark green or red ribbed card. 

I'll be demonstrating using this set at the PartiCraft party in Garelochhead tomorrow night, so why not come and join us? Email me using the link on the sidebar.

Don't forget Sue is demonstrating on Create and Craft on Monday at 12pm...it'll be great.

Party and the Fashion show

I had a busy weeekend with a PartiCraft party on Friday night, and the Charity fashion Show on Saturday night. My eldest daughter was modelling on the catwalk, so she was nervous, but did very well.  The whole event was a great success and made £1800!!

The PartiCraft party was a small group but I think they all enjoyed it, and if you were there, and are reading this and ordered things at the party, they should be delivered in a few days.  I hope you enjoyed the evening.  I demonstrated heat embossing, painting with cosmic shimmer watercolours and adirondack pens. If you have any questions feel free to email me.
This weekend I will have a stall at our local craft fair at the Muirfield centre in Cumbernauld, 12.30 till 4pm.  the craft stalls are inside the building, and there's a car boot sale in the car park too.  If you're there, come and say hello :-)

Crafty party

My PartiCraft party went well on Friday night. I demonstrated stamping on acetate, and using 3D Crystal lacquers and glitter to decorate the stamped images.

I did a little competition at the beginning of the party as an ice-breaker, and the prize was 3 mini-cards - here they are:The bear is stamped on acetate and glittered on the back.The images on the stocking card were painted with cosmic shimmer watercolours

The lilies were coloured with Adirondack pens.

Also, the new hostess plate for November is out - book a party with me in November and this A4 stamp set will be yours free!

Tayvallich party

I enjoyed the Particraft party I did on Tuesday, hosted by my Mum :-)

It was in the beautiful village of Tayvallich:

These are three mini-cards I made as a prize for the ice-breaker game. Two use a small lily stamp from the Birthday stamp set, the yellow one I've painted with cosmic shimmer watercolours and the other with adirondack pens. Both have the sentiment stamped using Walnut Stain distress ink. The backing paper "Abigail" from Fancy Pants' Sweet Pea range.

The butterflies were painted with adirondack pens, and I added a few spots of glitter. I used distress ink to stamp the leaf borders.
The ladies at the party enjoyed having a go with embossing, and painting with the cosmic shimmer watercolours. They had lots of ideas, and one even suggested embossing onto a piece of fabric. It worked quite well on polycotton, but denim or 100% cotton might be better. Anyone else tried that?
