Last Sunday, Lynn kept several ladies very busy playing with

Jo Sonja's paints and mediums.  Here is a peek at some of the projects they made......

Decorated Chalkboard for those all important notes!

Decorated Hessian bag with Jo Sonja's paints.

Decorated Kraft paper bag, ideal for gifts.

Acrylic Baubles decorated with......

Jo Sonja's paints....

 ......and Napkins!

And lastly, a plant pot that has been sponge painted and decorated
using a brush technique for the flowers.

Whew, I hope I haven't left anything out!

I believe there was lots of mess in the playroom, lots of chatter and lots of FUN playing with 

Jo Sonja's paints and mediums.

Please take a peek at our Workshop Brochure for our current 

mid week Jo Sonja's Club

Saturday Jo Sonja's Club

Can you believe what the Children are like when parcels come into this shop? 

Catherine had the parcel opener ready BEFORE the delivery guy had finished parking!!

Prima flowers, Graphic 45 papers, Kars Christmas pads, laces and ribbons and shapes, swirls and diamantes, so much fun!

Now we just need to re-organise and get it all fitted in.  Great fun!

Quick before it all goes!

Broderie Cardstock

Lynn asked me to put this box here on the blog which I recently made using the stunning Broderie Cardstock. It is a perfect weight of cardstock for making boxes and gives a luxurious, expensive look.....don't you think?

I simply backed and lined the box using Bazzill cardstock, made a bow and added a rhinestone pearl heart embellishment.

This cardstock is perfect for making your own wedding and special party stationery which comes in 12"x12" sizes.

Available in the shop are these pre-cut packs of 4 cards and envelopes which come in 5" x 5" in single colours.

If you check the Wedding Gallery you will find plenty of inspiration using the same cardstock (all the cards have been designed by Catherine).

We have a  range of Wedding stationery on-line  and available at the shop, Flutterby Crafts.

Christmas Easel Card

Nicky made this Easel card using the First Edition - Festive Treats Paper Pad.

There are 48 sheets 8" x 8" paper pad with glitter effects and double sided designs.

 

They are a new fun Christmas collection from the illustrator Helz Cuppleditch for First Edition Paper. Helz has mixed hand drawn designs of tiny gingerbread houses, candy canes and lollipops with tradition Christmas elements such as festive wreaths, snowmen, santas, and holly leaves. The colour palette is an eclectic mix of traditional reds and greens with a flash of cool blue.

 

Each pad contains 16 different designs - 8 with a glitter effect and 8 with a double sided print.

Here Nicky has made a paper ribbon from one of the sheets in the pack and 

decoupaged the house.

The paper ribbon on the card looks really effective layered onto the gorgeous Noel paper 

from the same pack. 

Nicky has added the Father Christmas element onto the card which looks lovely 

with the glittered effect.

Here is a side view of the Easel card.....great for special Christmas cards!

We have everything you need to make fabulous Christmas Cards and Gifts! Gorgeous Papers, Buttons, Stamps and stickers...we are sure you will find something to inspire you!

Christmas Tree - Festive Treats paper pad

Nicky has made this lovely card using the Festive Treats paper pad which includes 64 sheets of 6" x 6" papers with glitter effects and double sided designs.

This is part of a brand new fun Christmas collection from the illustrator Helz Cuppleditch for First Edition Paper. Helz has mixed hand drawn designs of tiny gingerbread houses, candy canes and lollipops with tradition Christmas elements such as festive wreaths, snowmen, santas, and holly leaves. The colour palette is an eclectic mix of traditional reds and greens with a flash of cool blue.

Each pad contains 16 different designs - 8 with a glitter effect and 8 with a double sided print.

To see the First Edition paper pad collection we have in stock click here.

Here Nicky has added dimension using these spotted buttons on the tree.

I like it how Nicky has cut out another tree with some presents at the base of the tree and layered them onto foam pads.

Christmas is soon approaching and Nicky has made a great start with her Christmas cards.......how about you?
