some workshop cards

Hi everyone
I can't remember why I didn't blog yesterday - but Saturday's can be a bit domestic in their make-up, so I don't always craft.

Today I have been busy making up samples for a workshop on Tuesday - yes, I know - why so last minute? Well I actually thought I had a sample of each of the cards in my stash - but no - so that is why I have been making them today.

The cards are those that fold differently - the ladies who are attending came to a workshop last month & made 3 cards.  They enjoyed it so much they asked for another workshop with more different folding cards. So this week they will be making - Tri-shutter card; Stepper card & Stretch card;

Here are the samples;




Here are two views of the Tri-shutter card.
Photography not good but have sharpened it a little.
As you can see I added two little embossed squares as part of the decoration.
I have decided I like that so much I will probably make another with more embossed panels on it - sometime soon.


This is the little stepper card & I have two other layouts for them - but probably it will be this one that they make.


This is the stretch card - but it is a photo of one I made some months back.
Need to sit down tomorrow & make another one.

Then after that I have to print the notes, templates & I am ready to go.  When that is done it is back to Bob's Christmas cards.

Hope you have had a great weekend.  More tomorrow & I have some member news for you.

Thank you ladies for sending them in - certainly very different styles today. So! - Last post? Over the last year or so all 3 clubs have been getting themselves sorted out in order to continue running the clubs from now on. Remember I announced in 2019 that I would be standing back at the end of 2020 & retiring.  I will of course keep in touch & visit the meetings now & again.  But it is now time for me to hang up my stamps.  Well not literally as I will still make cards - but you know what I meant. All 3 clubs now have the way forward sorted.  C

Jayne Nestorenko

Good morning I was informed this morning, by Rita of Mold II club, that Jayne Nestorenko had passed away on Saturday evening after a long illness. I suspect that there may be some amongst you who do not know of her - but many who do. I followed Jayne's work for a long time & many of those lovely large wooden stamps that were around came into my collection beause of her enthusiasm & creativity. I particularly enjoyed using, & held many workshops at Daleside, to show how to use the Treasure Box stamps which were very popular; I cannot now remember who made those stamps & there were different sizes & you made different shaped boxes according to how many pieces you stamped.  Then of course you also had the matching medallion stamp to place on the top of the box. The crafting world is saddened by the loss of this lovely lady. Sleep peacefully Jayne.
