There's Always Time for TEA - Anyone for a Cuppa

Hello! How come it gets to Thursday quicker than any other day of the week ?? Well here we are again and yes tomorrow is Thursday and we are back in the crafty class room for the next set of card class making.  Oh! what fun nothing like hard work! so they say lol!
Well guess what ? Seen as we haven't done any serious die cutting lately and I didn't want you all to feel we were neglecting our Gemini so I decided to go ahead and bring out the dies and a couple of stamps to compliment them. I have chosen the lovely Tag Dies that we used a couple of weeks ago along with some of Sara's new dies from her Vintage Tea Party collection, they are quite cute and work well together.
Here's a quick look at one of the cards.....

The background has been stamped in Iced Spruce Distress Ink.
Izinks Dye ink
The'
Rose'e
Pigment ink Grey
Back later with an update for you.
You will be pleased to know that card two has a little less die cutting involved well only just lol!

Only needs the tag attaching to the mason jar and it's job done.

The flower dies are new and they are by Le Crea designs leanecreatief.
See you soon x

IZINK - Is Ink !! and Sparkly Grasses

Morning! Hope you all had a good weekend.
Just checking in to let you know what goodies we shall be using in class this week.
I have teamed up the Sparkly Grasses stamps from  Woodware with the wonderful new spray inks from Izink and to add to the mix a touch of foiling and some Izink Metal Gold which is from one of their brand new range of ink pads, they come in yummy colours too.
Black Versafine
Clear Powder
Anti static bag
Here is s couple of quick pics, this is the first card I worked on. Pity you don't get the full effect of the foiling which by the way is Metallic Green and Gold around the outside edges and destressed with the Gold Metal Izink ink pad.

This is a C5 card size.
Back in a while with card two.
Here is card two..........
This time I made a DL card as the Sparkly Meadow stamp fits this size perfectly and we rarely make this size of card.
Again I have made the background with the spray inks and some of the New Pigment Izinks. To finish off I used my dries clear glue and some of Chloe Sparkeliciuos Glitter Pink Champagne.




See you soon x











Finally got to finish off the DL card with a sentiment.

See you next time x

Julie Loves - WILDFLOWERS

Hello folks, would you believe it ! I'm suffering from yet another cold and it's no surprise as it seems like everyone I have met with or spoken to has been suffering the same or similar fate of recent there's just no getting away from all them dam germs lurking out there, makes you want to stay at home don't you think.
However I have managed and only just to come up with the next instalment of class cards.
Two cards one 7x7 the second 5x7 and totally the opposite from each other.
We will be using the lovely 6x6 paper pad and a set of stamps both from Craftwork Cards. The first card is very simple yet very pretty  and the next is very colourful in a cheerful way.
So because I am feeling rubbish at this moment in time (and I will keep taking the tablets 🤧) there is just a small list of requirements.
Back Versafine
Clear embossing powder
Glue pen or Dries Clear glue
White Gel Pen
Your Scissors will be a must as we shall be stamping and cutting out, Don't forget your Glasses lol!!!!!!!!
Blending tools or Cut n Dry foam
Think that's about it unless of course you want an abundance of hand sanitizing gel to keep my germs at bay lol!
See you soon xx

Just a couple of pics to give you an idea, this card is the 5x7 and is still in the making stages here.
