I've returned to the shop after a few days away recharging the batteries in mid Wales...

I let you in to a little secret...I took the new Woodware stamps with me to stamp and colour ( yes I'm still working when I'm off)

I packed everything...even down to masking sheets!...but guess who left my stamping platform on the side 🤦‍♀️

So of course I had to improvise.... A pyrex casserole dish lid is a very good substitute 🤣

** CUSTOMER NOTICE**

To cause the least amount of disruption, we will be closing the shop at 2pm tomorrow (10th June).

We need to switch our phoneline over from analogue to digital and install a new broadband router and phones.

During this time we wont have phone or internet, so have decided its best to close while installing.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Wednesday was the last of May's run of classes.

This was a different kind of class to our normal classes, this was a playing kind of class.

First card (sunflower card) we learnt how to use white texture paste to create a simple faux embossed look and coloured card with Jamie Rodgers Crafts Enchanted Sprinkles and die cut once dry.

The second part of the class, we did lots of experimenting with clear and white texture pastes, and enchanted sprinkles to create fun backgrounds. It was messy, slightly mysterious, colourful and lots of fun!

Here are some of the samples created to show how you can turn backgrounds into cards
