Rubber Stamping - North Wales

Good morning everyone. I do hope you are all enjoying this lovely weather we are having even if you cannot go very far. I found it too hot yesterday in our back garden, even in the shade - as I am not allowed in the sun - so didn't stay out there long. Back in the bank holiday weekend I decided it was time to put myself to work on a project I had been wanting to do for a while. Here are the photos - sorry!, quite a few - I will explain under each one. It is a Photo  / Memory Album It has a Christmas Theme in order to hold  the photos I took last Christmas  when Bob & I spent from Christmas Eve to the day after Boxing Day at Carden Park Hotel. This is a view of the back cover, spine & front cover This is a view of the album open showing the structure of pages in 2 sets. One on the inside of the front cover & one on the inside of the back cover. The one on the inside front cover also opens, to the left, like a book.  The o...

Good morning everyone. I am sorry I am a little later in posting these photos than I said I would. I had intended to show them last night - but had not had a good day & couldn't concentrate to do it. But, I am here now & there are some lovely cards to show you.  Carolyn set the challenge as embossing - any sort you wanted. Here are the photos; Annette Background is an embossing folder. Cup Cuff & words heat embossed & glossy accents on the coffee beans. Carolyn Carolyn has adapted a style of card she uses The snowdrops are embossed with silver EP & also coloured with Honey Doo pearl powders. Three photos to show the whole effect of the card. Cathy Design stamped with clear ink & heat embossed with white EP, then watercoloured. Dot Very clean & classic style from Dot Elizabeth Elizabeth used a Sweet poppy stencil with pearlescent White Paste and Super fine Satin Glitter. She explained it had t...

Good morning - I hope your weekend is going well. Today I have the photos of a Project that the Mold group ladies undertook for last Thursday - which would have been our meeting evening.  It was set by Joanna, who provided a very comprehensive set of instructions. Here is the sample photo she included; So very different from anything we have done before. Looked very interesting. Here are the photos of our efforts to show you how we got on. I am not going to make comments the work speaks for itself.  Except perhaps on my own card. Mine I decided to add some of those 3-dot triangles around the design  & managed to smudge a couple. Ah well.  Bud sadly a butterfly will not be suitable to cover that up. Janet Joan Joanna Lynn Mair Rachel Rhiannon Sheelagh Joanna tested her instructions on an unsuspecting friend, (known as Q). Here is what she made - a full A4 size o...

Good afternoon everyone I was sent the following by Madeline of Mold II group & thought it would be very useful for all of us.  I thought you might be able to copy & paste it into a document to keep, from here. But I have just checked that out & it wasn't very successful. So it would probably be best, if you want a copy, to contact me by email & I will send it as a PDF attachment. Here it is; A guide as to what gsm card / paper is required for what purpose. 'Bey for now.

Good morning everyone on a sunny, very blowy Saturday morning & the start of a Bank Holiday weekend. I hope you are all keeping safe & well. The photos today are of Mold clubs second Show & Tell session for this month & I suggested getting out the embossing folders & dusting them off & seeing what they could do. Here are their cards; Mine The first one I embossed a couple of different folders onto strips, then cut them into squares. Highlighted some of the pattern The second one I had seen done years ago & never had a go. Roses embossing folder then the design water coloured. Janet Two cards from Janet - one very masculine & the other more feminine. I love the background folder for the first one, & the very rustic look,  also the beautiful heart folder for the feminine version with the cut hearts. Joan An embossing & die-cut folder combined. I just love that window & the view through it. So f...
