We used some die cuts cut using dies from last year's Spellbinders Twelve Days of Stitchmas Advent calendar. These produce images that can be stitched, but most of them look great unstitched too. We tried to use them with some matting and layering.
For our first meeting of our new year, we had a go at Tea Bag Folding. Interestingly, both types of result use the same folding technique - the only difference is which point goes at the centre of the completed rosette.
Our last meeting before our summer break was spent planning for the Autumn term, continuing with our Hardanger embroidery and making cards from the group supplies for those who missed starting that.
Here's what we got up to. The Hardanger will need a bit longer to complete!
And because I didn't get a chance to make any cards during the meeting, here are a few I made at home.
We did some aperture cards a while ago - of the spinner variety, and it was so popular, there was a request for a repeat. This time we've also made aperture cards with 'wobble' mechanisms as well as basic aperture cards. Apertures were cut using a Big Shot and a variety of Spellbinders and The Works dies.
