Rubber Stamping - North Wales

Good afternoon everyone Today I am taking a break from catching up with showing you my recently made cards & bringing you a member news item. This has come from Joanna of Mold club who sent it to me after I got back from holiday to use if I was short of things to show.  Evidently she had this & a couple of other items in a document to send me & had only just remembered to do so. Here is what she said in the email she sent; " I shall tell you here about the Make with Cake Janet and I attended: I won an invite for myself and a friend to attend a 'Make with Cake' in Wrexham. I was hoping it would be at the Sizzix headquarters but instead it was held at a hotel (with the tightest, smallest car park you've ever seen!!!).  There were about 30 people there from as far away as London, guess we were the lucky ones only travelling a few miles. We started the afternoon using the Big Shot to cut out letters and flowers to decorate a cushion cover (all materi...

Good morning Another members new item for you.  This time it is Rita from Mold II club ; Well done Rita - keep up the good work during 2016.

Well not quite  - as it is a member's grand-daughter who is in the  news; The feature here is of a card made by Jess, Jess is the granddaughter of Betty from Mold II club & she was featured in a recent magazine  - following in grandma's footsteps!!!! Well done Jess. Betty please give her our congratulations.

Yesterday I had an email from Joanna of Mold club she had found out via Facebook that she had won a runners up prize - this was her message; "Cowling and Wilcox: The winning number for our Winsor & Newton Watercolour Stick giveaway is 4! Congratulations Lynne Gibbins! Well done also to Runner Up, Joanna MacKintosh, who will receive a goody bag from us. Thank you to everyone who entered, keep an eye out for more freebies soon! :) Today, my prize arrived from Woodware (the Dreamweaver stencil prize) and I picked the Picasso tool - should be very useful:" The motto for competitions is - you have to be in it to win it.  This is so true, & as I have said before I think - some of the things Joanna has won has been down to merely putting a comment on a website. Then..................... This morning I had another email from her which was headed - "I did it again!" - here's the email; "Just seen on FaceBook: Affixit Craft Wow...what a fantastic r...

Another item from a member. This time it is news.  I had an email from Joanna of Mold club about a win.  This is what she said; "Look what a nice surprise I had this morning - Chocolate Baroque posted  this on Facebook: September Blog Comment Winner!

Good morning everyone - I am sorry that I haven't been here for a couple of days, but this medication is just knocking me for six.  As I said a couple of days ago - I can drop off just like that. Anyway - I hope all of you are keeping well. Today I have some member new for you.  At the June meeting of Mold club we made the little fold flat box card. Amongst those made was this one - & under it I wrote - " Aren't those faces lovely - I believe there is going to be a castle on the back of this one. The faces are princesses & I believe it is for a little princess." Joanna, who made this card, sent me photos of the finished card & here they are; I couldn't get this one any lighter - but it shows the castle nice & clearly. That's clearer but the view of the castle isn't as good. I was right it was for a little princess &  here is the little princess herself Isn't that just adorable. I h...

The first piece of news is from Joanna of Mold club - who has won a prize. This time it was by answering some question & finding something on the blog.  Here is the link so that you can see how she got on. http://scrappaperscissors.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/easter-egg-hunt-answers.html Do have a go at these little competitions when you see them on blogs - it is usually something quite simple, like just writing a comment about the days blog - or a product - or like Joanna a quiz style questionnaire. Back again in just a moment.

I am back again - because in that Papercraft Essentials magazine on another of the "Your Cards" page was a card by Annette - also from Mold II club. Well done Annette. Tonight it is the April meeting for Mold II - so I will see you all there later & will have some photographs for the blog tomorrow. 'Bye for now.

Hi it's me back again. This time the card was made by Betty of Mold II.  She made it for her niece to give to her mother at Easter; It's very pretty Betty - aren't you a nice Auntie.  I see the easel cam in useful! Back again shortly with another piece of news.

Hi everyone I have a couple of bits of news from different members & I will give them each their own post. First is a magazine entry card made by Rita; Isn't he cute - well done Rita.  This card was featured in the latest issue of Papercraft Essentials, & thank you to Annette for photographing it & sending it to me for Rita. Back in a minute with more news.

Hi everyone Do you remember that post about the little flowers from the Mold II club night & how we all wanted to rush off & buy the dies. Well I ordered mine that night & they arrived this morning - but I have been so busy I haven't had a chance to play yet.  But Betty also received hers & although she told me she was busy she managed to have a play & sent me photos.  So it is only fair that I a show them here. Betty - they are beautiful & I can't wait to try them. Sorry! I couldn't get this one any clearer - but aren't they great? Much clearer photo - Betty - they are gorgeous. I need to play!!!!! I will be back later with a little more info from the Mold II meeting. 'Bye for now.

Hi I am back. The other day I picked up a copy of "Papercraft Essentials" & spotted a card made by one of the Mold II ladies - yes Rita it was your card; A really lovely card, Rita - well done for getting published. There is more member news to come - so I will be back again a little later.  'Byee

Last night at Mold II club Betty brought in the latest copy of Papercraft Inspirations (or it might have been Papercraft Essentials) - but in any case one of her cards had been showcased. Well done Betty - am I correct that you won a prize too? The other piece of member news is a photograph of Liz at last night's Mold II meeting showing her with her birthday flowers. It is a special birthday for Liz & it is actually today - so very Happy Birthday Liz.

Hi - it's me back again with the second piece of member news. This time it is from Betty of Mold II club who has sent me a photo of a card made with some new purchases. Betty said she had only ordered them the day before she received them - that is pretty good service.   She has made the card for some friends who are moving out to France to live. A great card Betty - keep up the good work. Don't forget ladies - share your work - other than the projects or Show & Tell photos that I put here.

Good afternoon everyone - what a dismal day.  It has just finished absolutely throwing the rain down here & I have to go out in it tonight. I had an email from Joanna of Mold club a couple of days ago - she had won a prize for an anniversary card challenge she made for an Internet group she belongs to. This is the card & below is her prize. The stamps are Michael Strong - & his blog is  http://www.blog.strongstamps.com/  why nnot go take a look he sells some great stamps. The card below was made for the people whose anniversary it was who were going on a cruise & here is the card she made. I am sure I read the email correctly & that the prize was for the card with the owls.  But if I am wrong I am sure Joanna will leave a comment accordingly. Well done Joanna.

Hi I am here tonight with news of a Mold II member having her work published yet again. Yes - it is Annette & she has a card featured in the latest issue of "Papercraft Essentials" - & here is her card; This was one of a set of stamps that were free on the magazine a couple of issues back - I thought they were great. I am sure that one of the word stamps said "Does my bum look big in this?".  As I haven't yet found the box with that set in I cannot be sure.  I am sure Annette will let me know. Well done Annette - keep up the good work.

A little bit of news from Mold II member Betty - one of her cards has been published in Issue 115 of Quick Cards magazine. Betty is also known as Liz, as you will see from the photo - but they got a lot wrong - here is the card Betty's - or Liz's - surname is Langdon & she usually appears in magazines as being from Flintshire.  Good job she recognised her own card. Well done Betty - keep up the good work!

This evening I have a little snippet on members news. In this months issue of "Papercraft Essentials"  (No. 94) there is a featured card by Rita of Mold II Well done Rita - nice to see the club members getting recognition. Back in a minute with photos from last night's CSNW meeting.

 I am back again this time with the second of 2 photos of members work featured in a magazine. This one is by Betty, also from Mold II - & again featured in this months issue of PaperCraft Essentials - Issue 93, & using the free embossing folder & co'ordinations card in issue 91. Here is Betty's card; Well done Betty. The funny thing was that at the Mold II club meeting last Tuesday I happened to comment that they had not had any of their cards featured for a little while.  Then the magazine arrived on Saturday & there they were. May be back again later.
