Rubber Stamping - North Wales

Good afternoon everyone.  I hope you are having a good weekend despite the off & on showers. Although right now it is constant showers 😓 Today I have for you, the pop-up bouquet card photos from the ladies of the CSNW club made at their July meeting; Just the inside of Joan 's card to see, & the circles are just plain in different shades of blue. I think that although Joan had the circles she wasn't at the meeting about decorating them. But I like the different look. An outside as well as the pop-up inside for Elvena's card.   The text background stamp works well with the circles. In fact when I made my sample - I used a text stamp for the background on my circles. Ann used some very pretty flourish stamps to decorate her circles. An outside & inside from Clare on her card with very delicate pastel colours.  Clare enjoys using chalks & I wouldn't be surprised if the background paper has been created with ch...

Good afternoon everyone. This afternoon I have the first set of photos of the lovely pop-up bouquet card you all made recently.  I am going to show them in the order that the project was done.  The first set are of those made by the Mold club - back in June. There will be 2 photos for each - the front & inside; Maureen's card front has a lovely pink flower on the outside layered onto a scalloped circle & leading to a cluster of pink flowers on the inside. Sheelagh's card has a lovely flower mix on the outside followed by another colourful mix on the inside. A pretty blue front to Yvonne's card with a pretty stamped design on the circles that looks almost lacy. A pink front to Clare's card leading to some very delicate lilac flowers inside. Again the stamped image makes it look lacy & I like that the design left a white edge around it. Joan concentrated on the inside of her card with this really colourful ...

Good afternoon Here I am again with another member showcase & this time it is Dot from Mold II club. Dot thought I might like to show her cards on the blog & also apologised that they are not stamped cards. Whilst that is always great to see I also like to show any style of card you have made, & it doesn't have to be one that has been featured in a magazine, or on TV (if you are that lucky), but just cards you are proud of. Dots cards were all special occasion cards; A beautiful card Dot I have to say that I am really smitten with white on white - it always looks so elegant, crisp & fresh. On this one of Dot's cards there is just a little colour with the 2 love birds. Another beautiful card Dot - I am sure that whoever you sent them to must have been delighted. Thank you for sending them to me. It is great to share. Now Dot actually sent me 3 cards but I have only shown you 2 of them today, as the 3rd one is in the style of a car...

I have just updated your club pages with an extra item you nee to bring with you for Mold meeting - 17 August and CSNW meeting - 6 September  PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT BEFORE YOUR MEETING I will bring a selection of mine with me for those who may not have seen the blog.

Good morning everyone. This morning I have a member showcase for you.  It is Rita of Mold II who once again has had one of her letters & cards featured in a recent magazine.  This time the "Creative Stamping" magazine. Well done Rita.  My you are a busy lady - making cards AND jam I am sure lots more of you make cards inspire by magazine articles (& freebies of course) - so why not send them a photo.  You do get a small gift - unless you are picked out for special mention as Annette of Mold II was recently.  In which case the gift is bigger & better. Another member showcase later. 'Bye.

Good morning everyone - what a nasty wet morning. Never mind, here are a few photos to cheer you up.  At Tuesday's Mold II meeting Annette & Elma brought along their "cards in a tin" project that they were shown at the June meeting with Rita. Here they are; The first set are from Annette who chose quotes as her theme I totally agree with that quote Lovely pastel decorated pages, & I agree with that last quote too. George Burns was amazing, along with his wife Gracie.  In my early teens I used to watch their TV shows, with my Mum & Dad & my brother.  At the end of every show George would always say .......... "Say goodnight Gracie"......... & of course she would always say ........... "Good night Gracie". Isn't it amazing what will trigger a memory - thank you for that Annette. The next set of photos are of Elma's card in a tin  Black & gold - you can't beat it for...

Good morning everyone This morning I have the photos from last night's Mold II meeting & they are in, this set, the ones of their show & tell.  It was a very small group last night as the date coincided with a couple of wedding anniversary celebrations, & holidays & sadly a funeral - so only 6 ladies for the evening. None-the-less we had a very pleasant evening & I bored everyone with photos of my grandson - oops, sorry Bob - our grandson.  I will put a photo on the blog some time over the next few days, The theme for the show & tell was a card using pink & blue & no baby cards; Annette used a lovely vase of flowers image & the layers of pink & blue card is really fresh looking. The stamp set was a freebie from a magazine & I used some of that set for one of my sample double slider cards. Elma made a DL card from blue card & then placed pink card on the front with blue stamping. I love that sentiment Elma ...
