NEW Wooden Embellishments

We have in stock some delightful sets of mini wooden embellishments which contain 5 each of 9 designs.  Each embellishment measures approximately 1 inch.

These wooden embellishments can be use with Jo Sonja's paints and mediums, sparkled, covered with fabric, napkins or your favourite papers.

This card has been made with the addition of Jo Sonja's Opal Dust on the snowflake.

To see our range of wooden items take a look at our on-line shop.

Make your own backing paper with napkins!

Take some of your favourite napkins, some Jo Sonja's All Purpose Sealer and a card base........

and what do you get?

Did you guess?  Yes, Lynn the owner of Flutterby Crafts 

demonstrated how to make your own backing paper using napkins.

The photo does not do this technique justice as it is one of those cards
that you need to stroke to believe it!

Check out our on-line store for lots of napkins designs.

Festive Wishes with Mia

So here, as promised, are some more photos from one of the cards made at the 

Christmas Card Fun workshop.

Nicky has made this acetate card using the new Mia with Candy and the 

Christmas Circle stamps from Wild Rose Studio.

She has coloured the lovely Mia with Candy image using ProMarkers.

Nicky has used a selection of Christmas papers which can be found in our 

Christmas paper pad section here.

As always, Nicky pays attention detail to the back of the image and 

acetate by layering more Christmas papers which neatly finishes off the inside of the card!

Christmas Card Fun weekend workshops

Nicky and Lynn ran the recent Christmas Card Fun weekend and helped the ladies make a selection of alternative Christmas cards using various card making techniques.
