Workshops

I have spent time during March thinking of the many different folds we can use on our cards and using them with toppers, peel offs, dies, stencils and stamps. So have put that down for April’s workshops.

Samples of the workshop cards  for April can be seen on my blog

Blogpost dated 1/4/24

NOTE where toppers have been used you will appreciate you only get a few of each per sheet so if you want the ones I have used it will be a case of first come first choice. I do have a large supply of similar/ other ones.

AS usual my regular groups have mainly booked in and it may be possible to join one of these groups or come on your own / with friends. Just give me a call to arrange.

PLEASE RING (on 01777 228775) or email me llindas.laneham@gmail.com  to get a booking. Morning workshops are 2 ½ hrs for £15 pp and afternoons 3hr for £18 pp. plus you get a discount of 10% on all non reduced* goods purchased that day up to 2/3 of the course fee.

I look forward to seeing you soon

For this month I have been trying to use some dies & stencils I still have for sale in different ways to how we used them last year. Some of the stamps used are where I have similar ones for sale (rubber which have 30 % off before any workshop discount) but I have been using them with new inks – The Fusion Inks from craft Artist. Since these inks are a mix of die and pigment as with oxide inks I have tried using both of these to compare them. Results are that the finish with fusion inks are more pearlized rather than being dull as with the oxides but come to a workshop and compare them for yourselves.

I need to order more fusion inks soon so if there are colours you want let me know asap. (View on Crafts Too website then Craft Artist, Then Fusion Inks to see colours).

To see the cards I have made for this month’s workshops look at my blog on the dates below. (Cards done by customers at workshops are on my facebook page)

This month sees Valentines’ day and whilst many of us don’t send such cards I have looked at HEARTS for all occasions – With Love, Wedding, Engagement, Anniversary, Mother’s day etc. Also this month we have more floral embossing folders – this time from creative expressions so they are different from last month’s Presscut folders. I have looked at the best ways of colouring each type of folder which do differ with the different styles. Once again I couldn’t find any new stamps but I have used the With Love Roses from last year and a bird with hearts which I had on the shelf. There does seem to be more nice ones out now which hopefully I can get for next month.

We have an early Mother’s Day and Easter this year so whilst I shall be planning for these this month many of the cards done for January & February can also be used for those occasions.

The embossing folders I used this month were those from JND and crafts too. Next month I shall probably  use some new ones from creative expressions, but I am looking at different ways of colouring on each.

Unfortunately I haven’t been inspired by any new stamps recently  but we will see what becomes available. There are new dies for each month though and as already mentioned lots of new 3D embossing folders.

I have a place on a workshop 23/1/24 at 10, 25th is full but I can manage any other time you want after 16th.
