November Project Photos - Mold

Image
Back again - this time with the final set of photos for the project you all worked on during your November meetings - this time those created by Mold club members. Here is the sketch ...................... .......  & here is their cards ................ A lovely "Me to You" design & it works so well on that blue striped card.  I had to take this photo very carefully as Clare had not got the images stuck down.  I wonder if she is going to give him his blue nose it will just finish that card off.  Listen to me! A stunning Christmas card - which with the tartan background would make a great Hogmanay card too.  I like the way the 2 diamonds are slightly off set with the holly spray in the middle. Another "Me to You" design & again that lovely blue stripe paper which goes so well with it.  Think these 2 were sat next to each other.  Well of course, I know they were it was mother & daughter team Clare & Yvonne.  Wonder if t

November Project Photos - Mold II

Here I am back again this time with the photos of Mold II's interpretation of the sketch ............... & here are their cards ..................... I thought I was going to have trouble taking the photo of this card because of the mirror card it is made on - but all it did was give this beautiful rainbow effect.  The squares & diamonds have been replaced with a floral shape. A very clean & simple card & the sketch has been reduced to fit on a card, rather than a sketch across the complete card.  This time the shapes used are - as you can see - Christmas trees.   I just love those tree stamps. Some really pretty background paper for this one & those glittery flowers work so well tying it all together. A lovely card Ah cute - that teddy doesn't look he will be asleep before Santa gets there.  A lovely festive take on the sketch - wonder what he will get in his stocking? A really clean style card which would make

November Project Photos - CSNW

Finally our photos are going to appear - I hear you say. CSNW were the first club to create the November project from the given sketch............. ............ & here are their cards ................... No matter what the card or the subject - black & shades of cream always look so elegant & this card is no exception.  Very elegant & the butterflies are 3d. I love silhouette style stamps & that one of the birds on the branch is lovely.  I also like the way the 2 flourishes have been stamped from the base card to the toppers.  Lovely effect. Clean & simple design really lovely.  Another silhouette style stamp used & they don't have to be done in black ink - nice to see a colour for a change. Pampered pets - again - I love this set.  Another nice clean & simple design. Perhaps I should just say here that by clean & simple I mean uncluttered - but CAS as it is known as a descriptive term for a certain style.

quick post

Last night I mentioned that I should have taken one more photo of Joanna's Show & Tell card.  This morning Joanna has put a comment that if anyone wants to see the side view (so that you can see the box of crackers on the top of the card) there is a photo on her blog. http://www.craftyjo.org.uk/cardmaking/inspired-by-a-cracker/ this link will take you to her blog & the exact post. Back later

Mold photos 1 part 1

Well what a little group we were.  I knew the change of date would have an effect - only 9 ladies attended but we still had a good evening. I rounded the year off well by forgetting to take the sketch that Mold are supposed to use for the January show & tell - so had to design one on the spot. The Show & Tell tonight was a card inspired by a cracker. A really festive cracker card all nicely pulled open showing the contents.  Afterwards when we were chatting Sheelagh who made the card mentioned that it actually did close.  So I took it back & photographed it again Cracker closed. This is a lovely interpretation & very delicate too.  I should have asked about the design but it says cracker to me - it is lovely. A different approach the topper on the cracker is the card - & it is a lovely square cracker too. Well! this one leaves you speechless.  I have taken several photos - but looking at it now there is one more I should have t

Just chatting

Tonight is the last 2012 meeting for the Mold club & I know a couple of ladies are going to be missing.  It is such a shame as the date had to be changed because of the Police Commissioner Election taking place on their regular day . Lyn is in the States for work, Mair & Joan have gone away for a few days - gosh I hope the weather is good for you. If I am not too late home I will try & post the photos from the evening's Show & Tell, then I can post the delayed photo's from the Sketch project for each club tomorrow. 'Bye for now, back later.

Another Christmas Card

Image
Yes another Christmas card with that lovely flourish Christmas Tree. This time I have embossed it in silver rather than gold - to make a change & added some silver ribbon at the side & the smaller Merry Christmas greeting.  The greeting that goes with the tree was too big this time as I made a lightly smaller card.  I have entered it into a blog challenge where the theme was Glamour & Glitz in a clean & simple design. You can see more about it on my personal blog. That's it - just thought I would pop back & show you.

Mold II Photos - part 1

As for CSNW's meeting earlier this month there will not be a "photo's part 2" until after Mold club have had their November meeting tomorrow (Thursday), because it is the sketch.  But today I have the Show & Tell photos for you & some interesting backgrounds to show you as well. Here is the Show & Tell where the theme was a card inspired by crackers - What a jolly Santa - & he was made from felt I think.  I wonder who those presents are for?  Do you think they are yours or mine?  Te he. Now that is one sumptuous looking cracker.  A box of those would set you back a few pennies.  Wonder what it would contain!!! Another lovely cracker & I love the way the bows have been balanced - framing the centre section, & isn't Teddy Santa adorable. Well! they have already got their cracker hats on - so I wonder how many crackers they have pulled & what lovely surprises they may have had. This card wasn't act
