*NEW* IN-PERSON Kit Classes!

 Having 'tested' the space in the 'Crafty Cabin' 

- I can now offer IN-PERSON sessions for up to 4 people!

Due to the space being 'cosy', I feel it best to offer KIT CLASSES first, as each participant will have their own kit and no 'moving around' to die cut/emboss etc will be required!

So, for the beginner/casual crafters or even those more experienced who just like the look of the kit ( and trust me, you'll love some of these kits!)

Here are the upcoming kits and dates...

Oh! and if you'd rather just purchase the kit to use at home or as a gift, just get in touch!

Click on each poster to enlarge for a better view!






Aren't they fab!... and there are even more to choose from on the

Please get in touch if you have any questions, would love to hear from you!

'BLOOM WHERE YOU'RE PLANTED' - Pocket Card / Gift Card Holder

  One for the fellas perhaps?

I don't know about you, but I find blokes a bit tricky to buy gifts for... particularly those in the 50+ age range?  So, with this thought in mind, I figured the more 'green fingered' of the population might not object to receiving a gift voucher for a Garden Centre! Genius!  

So, how does one 'present' a voucher in a more masculine way...

... by tweaking a pocket card I saw by Julie DiMatteo, a US demonstrator.  I love how we demonstrators can share and change up / resize / tweak ideas to suit us!


I have to say I'm still pondering on adding a sentiment to the front? 
- Decisions, decisions...

The bits that I need to draw your attention to are the Cinnamon Cider items as they have been with us since 2020 as 'In-Colours' we sadly have to say goodbye to these in early May, when we'll get a whole new selection of In-Colours to play with!
IF you've a lot of DSP left to create with, or simply love this colour, NOW is the time to stock up on Cardstock and grab that re-inker for your Classic Stampin' pad.
Here they are to pop in your basket...

'BUTTERFLY BIJOU' - Pyramid Top Box

 There's nothing nicer than a co-ordinating card AND gift box!

Keeping with the colour scheme of the 'offcut' card (yesterday's blog post) I wanted to create a co-ordinating gift box.  This style of box has been made by a couple of different demonstrators but I re-sized, knowing that my class participants had just a 3"x6" piece of DSP to decorate it...



Here's what I used to make it...
