Shaker cards...

Hi all,

Firstly, here's a pic of my stall at the craft fayre on Saturday, with my friend Isabel helping me out.

There were people selling home baking, hand knitted items, pictures, cross-stitch kits, handmade jewellery etc etc, and together we managed to raise over £600 for Cornerstone, so we were all pleased.

WORKSHOP NEWS

Here are some pic's from last Friday's workshop. I demo'd how to make a shaker card using nestabilities to cut the aperture and frames; heat embossing the images; and using cosmic shimmer watercolours. The cards all came out well, don't you think?

The stamped images are all from the Medallion set 2 A4 stamp set available from partiCraft. And the MERRY CHRISTMAS wording is available as an individual unmounted stamp as well.

This week's workshop will be the last one for a while, as I have got a full-time job for a few weeks, starting on Monday.

So this week we will be making a fantastic Christmas decoration, using these stamps, also available from PartiCraft:

If you want to come, there are a couple of spaces left. Email me to book - use the link on the sidebar. The workshop will be 9.30 till 12.45, with a 15 min break in the middle. Cost £12.

Bye for now,

Teri

Craft Fayre - Sat 6th Nov.

Just a quick note to say I will be at the Craft Fayre at Cornerstone House in Cumbernauld this Saturday. I will be selling candles, tea-light holders, cards and gift boxes.
There will be stalls selling jewelry, home baking, chutney, christmas tree decorations and lots more!
The Fayre is from 11 - 3pm, and the cafe is open so why not come along and have a cuppa, or lunch too?
Here's a few pic's of things I've decorated for the Fayre:

last week I got a set of embossing powders from Particraft, the Festive Sparkle set.  The colours are fantastic, and the powders have glitter in them, hence the sparkle.  I used the red and green on the bauble and nativity scene on the tea-light jar above.

All the stamps on these are from PartiCraft.

Hope to see you at the Craft Fayre!

craft fair and photo cards

Hi, here's a pic of my table at the craft fair on Saturday. I met some friendly folk, and some were interested in coming along to the workshops I run on a Friday morning, and some were interested in hosting a PartiCraft party. The next workshop is on June 11th, so if you want to come, please email me. It was quite quiet so the craft  fair packed up early. I was very excited when one lady said she'd seen my blog! It was the highlight of the day for me :-)
For a while I have been meaning to have a go at making some cards with some photo's I took of some flowers...so here are the results:

These are not my usual style at all, so I'd love to know what you think.

WORKSHOP NEWS

There's no workshop this Friday as the schools are off for the May long weekend, and I'm away at the Cherish women's conference the following weekend, so there's no workshop next week either.

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 :-)

The Charity Spring fayre

I was at a Charity Spring Fayre today, and I just heard it made a good amount of money for the 2 charities.  Unfortunately I didn't manage to sell very much, but I did meet a few folk who were interested in my workshops, demo's and parties. If you were there, and are reading this, welcome to my blog, hope you enjoy reading it, and please do leave a comment.  If you see something you'd like to learn to make, or you want to get some free Particraft products, please book a party with me, and I will come and do a demo for you.

I sold some of my bracelets, notebooks, and a mirror, so that was good. I demonstrated how to use Adirondack pens and distress inks, and sold some of the pens - hope you enjoy using them!

Charity Spring Fayre - 17th April

Hi, I've just booked a table at this event, in Bearsden (Glasgow).  I will have a stall selling handmade and altered items (cards, giftboxes, notebooks, mirrors etc) as well as a selection of stock from PartiCraft (stamp sets, ink etc).  I also hope to do some demo's on the table.
So if you live anywhere near, it'd be great to see you there.
