Creative Stamping 62 - Winter Woodland

These magazines do seem to be coming round quickly! We have only just done workshops on last issue and now I've had the next one to prepare. This time I've looked at using embossing powders in different ways with the stamps as well as using them with some of the new dies I have been working with.

Lots of other boards are being prepared simultaneously as I plan workshops for the next few months so should have lots more to show soon

Creative Stamping 61

I loved the flowers on this issue which as you can see I've used a number of ways.

Foam flowers and FMM clay flowers

I have been using the foam mentioned earlier for some more flowers and have a workshop this week using them. I thought the clay flowers ( shown earlier ) would add to these although there are many die cut ones we could also add.

The picture frames are done with the special effect paints mentioned on my last post.

Clocks, cogs frames etc with special effect paints.

I used the cosmic shimmer special effect paints initially on photo frames, plant pots etc as seen earlier. The photo frames can be seen with some of the flowers on my next post. I then started usung them with the clocks and cogs, liked the effect so moved onto card frames and lots of new Christmas dies. The results so far are shown below...

More things we find in our gardens

I have had a great time with this. I used the John next door gerbera pop out circle ( my current favourite die as you can do so much with it) as well as the Bee Balm stamp and die set. I also looked at using the flower foam and JND clock die. I also looked at using the IZINk glitter paint with metal stencils.  All in all there is plenty for at least 2 workshops here.

The above is 2 variations on the same idea

This seems a little early as it includes Halloween which I don't usually cover but I did make an effort with a couple of cards
The 3 leaves have been done different ways - just inks, powders, inks and clear powders.

Things we see on our holidays

I started to plan this before finding out that creative stamping had a similar theme, so I used the new woodware stamp for seagulls and beach huts as planned and the castle from a recent issue of creative stamping that I hadn't done a board for, and then looked at what else we had that would fit in and where I still had products in the shop to sell.

Things we see in Our gardens

This workshop centred on solid flowers from Woodware coloured with various inkpads, the dragonfly media plate from JND, the new glitter texture paste from Adaline with butterfly stencils and the daisy stained glass from creative expressions where I have paper pieced the flowers etc.

Along the bottom are other things we see in the garden from previous workshops but where I still have the products to sell

Cie Cut & Emboss - free gift workshop

I have taken one set of nestabilities that will do flowers and an embossing folder and thought ( and still thinking) of different ways of using them. The designs make various flowers as well as using them as you would other nestabilities.
For those that come to the all day workshop (cost £25) you will get £27 worth of goods that we will use, to take home with you.
