New Flowers for August's workshop

  A simple flower die which come as a stem with 2 flowers and 2 flower heads. You saw the use of the flower heads with the circles on my last post.

The Elegant tree

 This die is one from the JND range form crafts too.  The tree has various circular edges that can be used elsewhere. Here I have used them with a new flower that I shall show later.

I enjoyed putting the tree against various backgrounds I had produced and using differnt variations of the circle edge dies that come in this set. This is another of those dies I can keep using - -next I will use it with icicles for Christmas cards.

Summer Holiday workshop ideas

 For those wanting something to do with the children over the summer holidays I have come up with a few ideas for workshops. These are just ideas - the actual items done will depend on age and ability of the children

1, stamping - also involves shrink plastic which my grandchildren love to do

2. Die cutting

3. Flowers and vases

4. booklets

5. Boxes and bags

Using 3D embossing folders

 Another idea for July's workshops is looking at ways of using 3D embossing folders and colouring them with different products. The trouble with many is that I don't like covering them once produced. I also looked at using them both ways round - embossed and debossed designs give different effects

I have also included some try outs which I didn't make up into cards.
