Last Thursday in the Card Crafting workshop with Lynn she demonstrated this lovely Tag card using My Mind's Eye Festive paper.
Lynn then set everyone a challenge including herself to make as many cards with the remaining 3 sheets of My Mind's Eye Festive paper and bazzill cardstock that they were given in the workshop. Lynn made 10 cards including the Tag card and she says there is still plenty of paper left to make even more cards!!!!
How did you do in the challenge?
This is a lovely gift card holder for those all important gift cards that our kids and grandchildren so, so want!!!!! Nicky will be demonstrating how to make them on the Christmas Gift workshop this weekend. And there are more photographs to follow tomorrow.........

My husband has been away for 2 weeks so I was in need of a night off from family life!!! So I booked myself onto a workshop "Crafting with Nicky" which is held every fortnight on a Wednesday evening, 6.30-8.30pm, click here for details.
Wow, what a treat I had. Not only did we make these lovely calenders using chipboard and the Bind It All machine but the chatter was very entertaining around the craft table. I must get a life and get out more with the girls, it was a real hoot!!
The gorgeous snowman rubber stamp used is called "Fat Snowman" which has been designed by our very own Nicky Hayden for Flutterby Crafts. Blue Bazzill cardstock was used for the background, some Christmas backing paper, a snowflake punch and the ever so popular Woodware Paper Lace. All items available from the shop.
Remember Nicky has a cardmaking workshop every Tuesday afternoon, 1.00pm-2.30pm and for more details of this class click here. However, if you want to keep up to date will all the workshops at Flutterby Crafts and there are lots to choose from, why not print off the Autumn workshop calendar click here.
Thank you Jacky for sharing your card with us on the blog and we at Flutterby Crafts, are so glad you are enjoying your new hobby!
Also, just arrived are the new Christmas stamp collection from Craft UK which features traditional nativity images - just right for that special card.
Here are the finalised details of the ProMarker Challenge Club:-
When you arrive at the ProMarker Challenge Club you will be given some images to colour in during the Club session, followed by a quick tutorial by Nicky. Next you will be given a challenge sketch using the ProMarker pens and using something else from the shop. Everyone will have until the end of the week to hand in their finished card (sounds easy so far).
Bear with me now, it's get a bit complicated. All the finished cards will be displayed in the shop and customers will have a chance to vote for their favourite card of the month. The winner will receive a prize at the next ProMarker Challenge Club, however they will not be eligible to enter the challenge for the following month, but may rejoin after that.
Here is a tantalising peep of what you will be making at the ProMarker Club, which begins on Saturday, 3rd October at Flutterby Crafts. Nicky tells me that you will be using the gorgeous Ollyfant stamps and colouring in with ProMarkers to make an adorable card. Please be aware that the ProMarker colours and papers used in the above card may vary on the day.
For more details on the ProMarker Club and to book your place, click here.
A full photo of the card will be shown in a few days, so come back to the blog and maybe leave a comment.
Here is the ProMarker Club deal.......What will happen is that when you purchase your first pen, at Flutterby Crafts you will be given a card and colour chart - the card will be similar to the loyalty card only a different colour. Every time you purchase a pen for £1.99 your card will be stamped. Once you have purchased 5 pens you will be offered the 6th for 5p (yes 5p!!).
This equates to 6 ProMarkers for £10. How does that sound?
So, with the ProMarker Club deal, we are the same price as Joanna Sheen and you can pick them up straight away - no waiting for the Postman!!
Just a reminder don't forget to book a place on the Flutterby Crafts ProMarker Challenge Club on the 1st Saturday of every month 2 'til 4 pm, £7.50 per head. For more details click here.

Well all of you who dropped into the Demonstration Day held today by Amanda Fowler had a real treat. She was in the shop demonstrating the Art of Decoupage and signed copies of her beautiful new book which has lots of step by step instructions with photographs.
She brought with her lots of wonderful projects that are featured in her book. I turned up in the middle of Amanda showing us how to make beautiful candles with stamped images coloured in with Promarkers. I then stayed to watch another demonstration on decoupage which could be applied to photo frames, plaques, clocks and so on. I was captivated and now I am bursting to try out some of the techniques she demonstrated today.
We were all treated to a cup of tea by lovely Lynn and double points on all our purchases! What a way to spend a Saturday!!!
If you were unlucky to attend the demonstration today on The Art of Decoupage I am sure Lynn may have one or two copies of Amanda's book and the other 3 in the series for you to buy.
