csnw photos - part 1

Good afternoon ladies, & any gentlemen who may decide to have a read of what I write here.

This afternoon I have the first set of photos from last Wednesday's CSNW meeting & they are of their show & tell cards.  The theme?  A card using Kraft & white only.

Ruth

Two pretty embossed panels on the front of Ruth's card with a gorgeous white ribbon & bow.
Hand drawn outline on the white edges finishes it off really nicely.


 Clare

A tag card from Claire with white embossed flowers on.
The "string" is actually strips of Kraft card cut really finely & twisted together.
Great idea!


Joan

I always think a large image cut into quarters gives a nice effect on a card.
Joan has done this with her card & double layered them onto a panel of Kraft coloured patterned paper.


Gwen

A lovely masculine card from Gwen - using cogs & string & some die-cut pieces which add to the masculine finish.  On the background is some inking through a stencil.



Ann

The main background piece on Ann's card is a piece of Kraft card that has had Gesso sponged through a stencil.  With the lovely wispy flower on the topper.


I have another card from Joan - 2 views in fact - which are of her Show & Tell card from the April meeting - where the theme was Daffodils;


This is the front view
& this next photo is of the card open - as an easel card.


Love that daffodil medallion stamp.

Really pretty cards ladies.  I love Kraft & white - it is so elegant.

That's me for today.  I have another set of photos from the CSNW meeting to show you - probably tomorrow.

'Bye for now.

 Good afternoon ladies this afternoon I have the photos from the CSNW S&T for June. The theme I set was any theme of their choosing but using the colours red, white & blue.  Here are their cards. Amy Two nice classic style cards from Amy Grace Simplicity is the key here They are so elegant too. Gwen Beautiful embossed card & flowers which have been decoupaged Joan A stepper card with a beautiful circular central topper. 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.
