Happy Birthday card

These are some cards I was asked to make to order, the first is for a friends Mum.

It's an 8x8" card using a Tattered Lace frame die and Heartfelt Creations stamp and die set flowers.

These have been coloured with Distress ink.

JOFY for Christmas 2017

Whilst on the subject of Christmas, I made the following set of cards using Jo's latest release from Paperartsy. Unfortunately with all that happened with Dad and Robert, they never got written or given out. I guess I'll save them for this year instead.

They were water coloured with Tim Holtz distress ink.

Love JOFY stamps!

John Lewis Bluewater - Demo day October 2017

So, my next demo was the following day at John Lewis in Bluewater - very close to home!

I had lots of lovely Christmas items, some exclusive to JLP to demonstrate.

I loved the advent calendar shown below which is sewn together with stiffening so it will hang on the wall.

Sew Simple October 2017 - Part 2

 The other, non-Christmas, collection I had was Sara's Black and Gold.

And a Christmas one I missed off before. 

Sew Simple Demo day - October 2017

I knew I was behind with my blogging but...... October last year!

I had the pleasure of showing the lovely ladies Sara's Cute Christmas collection and the Christmas Kinetic dies. Here are some of the samples I made.

I had other collections too which I'll show you tomorrow.

We even had a challenge to see if we could make other animals with the reindeer die - 

Hippo, pig and polar bear :)

And here I am, ready to go.

Thanks everyone who came along and of course Hayley and the lovely staff :)

Crafter's Inspiration Magazine 17

I was lucky enough to be featured in the latest Crafter's Inspiration magazine too - Spring, Issue 17.

I had the most beautiful papers to work with from the Pretty Peacocks collection.

There are a few quick and easy projects, one of which was this gift card handbag.

Do take a look if you managed to get a copy :)

More Shabby Chic

This collection is definitely one of my favourites - Shabby Chic - Sara's Signature.

These we made for QVC shows in Germany.
