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

creative stamping 60 AUTUMNAL TREASURES

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.

CS59 Summer holidays

Here's the first draft of cards done with this new set of stamps

GO WILD

The set of creative stamping stamps for GO WILD have proved very popular. Here are some of the ways I have used them along with trying out the free IZINK pad that came with the  magazine. For anyone who purchased this and the previous mag I have found you get a nice shade of green mixing the two pads together. The John Lockwood media plates were good for reflections - and of course there was lots of masking using the woodware MASK IT sheets

3D Flowers

 I have used a lot of things here
firstly there are some cards  - 3d ones are very good for those special cards even if they are no good for posting

I then tried playing about with FMM clay flowers and some cutters. Not a brilliant picture for capturing the different flowers but it gives you a feel for them

and then I looked at previous projects where I had used 3d flowers

Stencils

I am doing a free gift workshop day where everyone will get at least a stencil and a mask plus a coloured embossing paste and then we will look at lots of ways of using these., some ideas for this are shown below.

cosmic shimmer special effect paints

I tried these special effect paints on a variety of articles as shown. they have sand in them to provide texture.
The box was using another new paste with mini masks
