April Year in Cards

Here's the project we're making tomorrow morning at the Glasgow Card-making meet-up. The card is inspired by one Charlotte showed us at field training last month, and the pouch is a creation of Elaine's. I will be demonstrating the "rock and roll" technique, as well as faux suede and ink daubers.

This class is available to buy online, costing £10 for instructions and supplies or £25 to add in the stamp set used (RRP £19.95). Each class makes 4 cards and the matching pouch, and even includes a chocolate in the pouch! Email me if you are interested.

Past class project from Saturday 18th April

I realised I haven't posted this picture here. This was the project from the April class. Everyone had fun making these cards and the matching box of sweets. If you'd like the project instruction sheet, with photos describing how these items were made and a template for the box, please e-mail me.

Class preview - Saturday 16th May

This is the project we'll be making at the class on Saturday 16th May in the Junction Bar on West George Street (right next to Queen Street station, near George Square). Head up to the first floor and join us!

We'll be making a tiny magazine holder with 4 assorted cards and envelopes. The sample includes birthday, thank you, get well and new baby. This version uses Rose Red card, ink and Designer Series Patterned paper, plus Very Vanilla card and ribbon. Alternative options will be available in blue and chocolate brown.

All supplies will be provided, and a template and design sheet will be e-mailed after the class.

To sign up visit http://www.meetup.com/The-Glasgow-Card-Making-Meetup-Group/. Classes cost £10 on the day, or £8 in advance.

Party preview

So this week I'm having not one, but -two- parties this week! One of them isn't a SU! party but I'm hoping it will be fun. The second is a party my Mum is holding, but she's already talking about her next one!

The cards are the invites I made for her to give to people she wants to the party, and the boxes are the projects that the guests will get to make. I've found a couple of games for people to play, and I have prizes, catalogues, forms - hopefully everything I need. I've even got an unmounted stamp set to show people how to mount.

Christmas tree decoration

So, I've been playing with my lovely shiny new stamps and made this little tree decoration. It's inspired by a card Vicki showed me, but I can't remember if it was Maggie who made it - sorry ladies, but credit to whichever one of you it was!

Anyway, watch this space for more samples as they come. Being off work ill with flu kinda gives me more time to stamp, in between the shivers and the fevers, that is!
