Scrapbooking workshops at Flutterby Crafts

Did you see Catherine's latest scrapbook page of her little Angel? 

Well I thought I would show you some close up photos of the different elements that have created such a gorgeous scrapbook page.

Catherine has used some Bazzill Bling cardstock as her base page. 

She has used one of the Cricut cartridges which is available to use in the workshops to cut out the letters.  She has then run the lettering through a Cuttlebug embossing folder and layered them using foam pads.

The Handcut Flowers are by Colour Connection.  The smaller flowers and butterfly are punches by

Tonic Studio.

Catherine has brought the elements together using a Rhinestone Swirl.

Here, Catherine has used a Martha Stewart border punch and some decorative heart ribbon from the shop.

And, here is the completed Scrapbook page......simply stunning.

Pop Up Card by Nicky Hayden

Here is a delightful pop up card that Nicky demonstrated in a recent workshop.  It was a bit tricky to photograph but I hope you get from the picture how the sentiment pops up at the top of the card.

As you open the card the sentiment pops up!

Nicky has used some elements from the gorgeous Melissa Francis (Jewell) paper and the base card has been made using Core'dinations card.

 Here you can see she has cut out some triangles our of paper and attached some pearls to 

make the pretty bunting.

Finally, a pretty bow tied with some Teal Lace and other ribbons from the shop with a 

paper flower adhered to the centre.

If you would like to come along and join in some card making workshops, here are some dates to add to your diary for next week with Lynn or Nicky.

Jo Sonja's iridescent paint

Here is a beautiful bowl that has been wood turned by Tony Harvey. 

The bowl has been spun on a lathe and then carved. 

Jo Sonja's iridescent paint 

has been mixed with some shaving foam to achieve this marble effect.

This technique gives a most wonderful result combined with the smooth texture of the bowl.

Christmas Scrapbook page

You may have seen on an earlier blog post this week Catherine's Christmas Scrapbook page 

I thought I would give you a closer look at the elements on the page.

Simple title cut out of papers above relevant Christmas photo.  

A lovely memory of a special moment on Christmas Day.

I like how Catherine has punched out squares using different papers and added her own journalling.

Catherine has used ribbons from the Cart-Us range which co-ordinates with the Christmas papers.

Also, she has added dimension to the page by incorporating a 

wooden embellishment and buttons.

She has used a mixture of Scrapbook papers namely We R Memory Keepers and other 

coordinating papers found in the shop or on-line.

If you would like to learn about Scrapbooking or want to spend time making your scrapbook pages with like minded crafters come and join Catherine at the next....
