Circle Trellis and and a Cactus Flower

Hey! And good afternoon, yes I nearly forgot couldn't even remember what day it was so so busy sample making for this Saturdays demo but I keep getting interrupted in other words getting nowhere fast!! Had to dash out just after lunch didn't get chance to eat what I had made, my son phoned asked if I would go check on Lorna his partner as he was worried about her she had called him at work and was quite distressed after going to the hospital to visit her dad. Its a long story so I won't go into all the details just now but I will tell you about the next classes. We will be using the brand New Cactus Flower die from Sheena and the Circle Trellis die from Sara's Black and Gold Collection.

In the SPIRIT Of

So here's the thing, I've been waiting all day for some news and hopefully it will be good news! I am awaiting for the birth of my next Grandson the first of three that are on their way. Two are due before Christmas and one in the New Year. I was waiting all day yestetday too but so far nothing and I'm sure it won't be much longer so please forgive me if my mind is somewhere else at this moment in time. It has taken me much longer today than usual to get classes sorted but I think that I may just have got things done in the nick of time.

Hexagons It Is !

Hello crafty friends, yes its that time once again and as you might of guessed by now we will be making something to do with the hexagon shape no less and you would be totally correct 😀
This week we are going to be using the new Double Stitched Hexagon Dies by Sue Wilson along with a set of stamps that are new by John Lockwood and just for good measure a beautiful set of Floral Dies by Xcut simply because they match each other so well and I intend to use them again in our future classes.
Okay so here's what's in store for the next class list..................
This is what I have used on both cards, one being 8x8 in size and the other is a 6x6 card.
Distress Inks as follows:
Pumice Stone
Salty Ocean
Shabby Shutters
Fosilized Amber
Cracked Pistachio
Worn Lipstick

Black Versafine
Quicky Glue Pen
Diamond Frost Glitter
Japanese Jade Alchemy Wax
Stamps - Summer Flowers by John Next Door
Xcut Dies - Meadow Flowers. I have to say I am really impressed with these dies.
So we have a little die cutting to do but not as much as you think !
Yes yes yes I have photo's.

Tap on photo to enlarge.

 This is the 8x8 card just needs its bow and sentiment. The Hexagon Dies start quite large and there are 12 in this one set.

 6x6 Card.

Colours look a little darker than the real thing, however you can choose to change the colours if you want in class.

Done!
See you soon x
