Bold Blooms with Woodware

Hey ! How's things ? Hope you're all keeping warm and dry today. I've just been out to the recycle bins and boy did it feel cold however I have managed to stay warm for most of the day in my craft room or should I say 12" work space lol! As you will have already guessed I have been busy trying to create for our next classes and as per the norm I think I have managed to fulfil my role, I can only hope!!
So what's on offer this week ?
Well something floral for a change and it comes in the form of a Clear Magic Singles Stamp by Woodware, always good value from this range of stamps.
I teamed it up with a couple of Script Stamps that we have used in the past and a stamp from my own stash.......
Recipe List:-
A selection of ink pads from the Izink range
You will see the colours on the card photos
White Embossing Powder
Gold Embossing Powder
Anti Static Bag
Black Versafine
Versamark clear ink pad
Drawing Gum
Glue pen
Glue Gel
Blending Tools
There are a couple of other things but we will have them to hand in class as usual.

 7x7 Card


6x6 Card


    Just a couple of photos to keep you going instead of guessing lol!
 See you soon x

A Season for All

And we are definitely in the Season of Winter right now ! HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone our hols are now over and the classes will resume starting Tomorrow at 1pm. Hope you all are fit and well I for one know this cold is not compatible with my arthritis but the good news is it won't last for ever !
So to start us off I of course have chosen a set of stamps by John Lockwood and they are aptly named Winter Tree's lol !!!
Wait ! Wait ! No not Christmas cards although they could be if so desired but not this time. I chose to start the New Year with what better than each season as they all seem to come around so fast these days.
So we can celebrate each of the four Seasons on one card. The second card is far less complicated and would work really well for a man's card as you will see.
I have used several colours of Izinks but Distress inks will also work. If you have a GLUE PEN then that will be helpful as I have added  some foiling to some of the trees. No heat embossing, no die cutting and no cutting out just inks and stamps. What on Earth could be simpler than that ?
I'm going to leave this one to your imagination as there are no photos as yet but I will say that I am pleased with both cards and they are so different from each other.
Don't you just love a Good Mystery !!
Bet you can't wait lol! 👀
See you  very soon x
