Rubber Stamping - North Wales

Good afternoon everyone & what a glorious day it is. I am happy & sad that it is so nice - because it is good for everyone to have some sunshine to enjoy themselves in especially after the days of rain recently.  But, I cannot go out in it - I can go out before 10:00 & after 3:00 depending on just how hot & sunny it is.  But I can still enjoy it. Now, photos. Today I have the second set of photos from the Mold club meeting a week ago Thursday.  This time they are of their project for the evening which was shown by Joanna. Here is one of Joanna's sample cards; The outside The inside When the card is stood up that band across the middle which has been folded  like a "W"  will stand away from the card. Also this card was Joanna's card for the Show & Tell.   I didn't put it in with those photos so that it was a surprise here. Now for the ladies cards Joan I love the sailing theme. I believe Joan only

Good morning again ladies - it is now Friday morning.   I have an apology to make to Mair as I have shown her cards & attributed them to Joanna.  So sorry Mair. Just shows I shouldn't write this when I am in a hurry.  See further down. Good morning everyone. An early morning post today as I have a hospital appointment later this morning. So, this morning I have the first set of photos from last Thursday's Mold club meeting & they are of their show & tell cards.  The theme was "Something with wings". They were a small group that evening - but still a good amount of cards to see; Joan Lots of lovely wings on this card using very pretty dragonflies. Joan also used the frame card that I showed them a couple of meetings ago. Rachel What a beautiful butterfly & a lovely sentiment. I do like those Tim Holtz corner dies that stay in the card.   Well, at least the ones I have are by Tim Holtz. Rhiannon A lovely mi

Hi everybody - I am back after taking a little rest from everything. I hope you all survived that awful rain we had & that there were no big disasters. To kick start some blogging posts I have a member showcase for you today & it is from Rita of Mold II club.  She really enjoyed the star style easel card we did at a recent meeting & made one for some friends of hers who were celebrating their golden wedding. The subject theme may seem a little out there........................... ........................ but golf is their passion. Great card Rita. I have received the photos from the Mold club meeting held last Thursday & will be sorting them onto my computer & getting them ready to show here. So more photos on their way. That's all from me today, so 'bye for now.

Good afternoon everyone. Time for another weekend so I hope the weather is going to improve & that you have lots of nice things to do.  This afternoon I have the second set of photo from Wednesday nights CSNW meeting & this time they are of their project for the evening.  The project was the Telescopic card which I know was covered some years ago but there are new ladies in the group & some of them had not seen it before. There are two photos to each card - one with it closed & one with it open; Pretty colour from Joan - I am not sure if it is burgundy or an aubergine colour. The main topper with the flowers Joan stamped & coloured them in during the evening. Ruth has gone for natural colours - love that teddy in amongst the flowers. A cute white teddy with a glittery bow on Kate's card Natural colours again from Claire. Love that raggedy style flower stamp & the verse is lovely. More natural col

Good afternoon everyone I hope you are all well. This afternoon I have the first set of photos from last nights CSNW meeting & they are of their Show & Tell, where the theme was a card celebrating "WORDS". Elvena who has been taking the photos for sometime now was not well enough to come to the meeting last night, & fortunately I had popped my camera into my bag, so I was able to take them.  Get well soon Elvena. We had a small group last night so there are only four cards to show. Joan used a stamp she had tried at the recent Happy Stamper festival & then purchased. The background is a gel pad style stamp & is from Crafty Roo Designs, as was the verse. The flowers frame the words nicely. I had the good fortune to have a workshop with them a while back & really loved using those background stamps.  I think I did show photos of my work on here. Gwen really celebrated words on her card - the background is all words & sayin

Today sees the 75th anniversary of D-day So once again we will remember all those who fought in that conflict, & those who didn't come home. Our thoughts are with all the families that were affected during that time.

Hi everyone. Well, my mojo popped back in today - hooray - I just hope it stays with me now.  I managed to get some samples ready for future projects, all the paperwork for tonight's meeting at CSNW & 4 birthday cards that are due. Whew! I think I now need to lay down in a darkened room.  But no - it is the June meeting of the CSNW ladies tonight - so I will popping along there. I hope that I will have photos for you tomorrow, from the meeting. That's me for today - just a quick pop in. 'Bye for ow.

Good morning everyone. Over the weekend I had an email from Rita of Mold II club regarding her cards I posted on Saturday last. Here is the message she sent; "Well, one card was glued down and the other had foam stickers on the back.    It was my friends birthday on Saturday so she had the purple one and loved it, the other is on its way to Papercraft Essentials mag, which the Wallace and Gromit was out of, hoping to win a prize so you never know we may see it again. " Good luck Rita I am sure they will love it & you will be published once again.  As I have that magazine on subscription I will keep an eye for your card. Here is a reminder of the cards;

Good afternoon everyone I hope your weekend is going well. Goodness its June already, & we are on our way to completing half of the year. Today I have a member showcase for you & it is from Rita of the Mold II club. After the meeting on Tuesday when we made the star style easel card Rita went home & worked on her cards & came up with a slightly different approach, sending me a photo. Here is what she made; Rita has used them as card fronts.  I cannot see, & didn't think to email her & ask, as to whether she has stuck the card down completely, or just glued them by the centre spine. They look great Rita, thank you for sending me the photo. That's me for today. 'Bye for now.
