Welcome Georgie to the Stapleford craft group

 

A warm welcome to the stapleford craft Group to Georgie. (second week) Can you believe that

this is only the second card she has made! impressive I think...Well done Georgie!

 

 

 

 

This flower fairy card is by Trudy, coloured with watercolour pencils and decoupaged.

 

 

look at the dimension!

 

 Finally for today, Glenis has used an unusual colour mix of purple (no surprise there)!! pink & teal- I think it works well. the image is a digital stamp. the photo doesn't do it justice- her shoes are like Dorothy's slippers (Wizard of Oz, not our Dorothy...although given half a chance she would have shoes like that!!

 

 

Off now to make samples!
Take care.

Hello my crafting lovelies

 Well hello my crafty friends, I have got some fabulous cards to show you today- All made at the Friday afternoon class.
Its amazing how a different paper can alter the look of a card.
I adore this polka dot butterfly card by Glenis- really crisp- I would love a dress in this pattern!

Welcome to the group Janet- well done!

 

Again different colours- but really pretty, this is Maureen's card. It would be Lovely for a spring Birthday?

 

 

Here is one of the most popular stamps I have from Penny black- Here Jenny has used some  divine papers from my minds eye (I think)? finished off with pink bakers twine. I LOVE this card!

 

 

Now on to a couple of up coming cards,

 you know... I am actually quite enjoying making Christmas cards! Here are my samples...ill post photos of what we make in group next week.

 

 

We have used this poinsettia die so much this year- and is so versatile, not just for Christmas!

 

 

 Off now to tidy up after today and maybe if I can stay awake, a gemstone bracelet?
Have a good weekend, whatever you are doing.

What a great time we had on Saturday, A big creative thank you to Liz and Jerry who made these truly AMAZING fabric powertex sculptures.

Jerry had brought her own idea of what she had in mind- and I was so impressed with the Rudolf Nureyev type sculpture she produced...

 Amazing or what!!

Now if you are of a nervous disposition you may not wish to look at this scary sculpture made by Liz...what can I say.....?

 

 

 

 

Just imagine what you could achieve in one day!
