Tricia's Shopping Bags

Tricia said, 'I've enjoyed creating patterns on fabric for face masks, so I decided to get a head start on little Christmas gifts and do some cotton shoppers. The first is a combination of a stencil and stamping, and the others are just stamped. I finished some off with some crochet lace.

'This fourth one is going to be mine because I got interrupted while stamping and ended up stamping a tree the wrong way round, so I had to try to retrieve it. Not happy with the result, but it'll hold shopping!'

Tricia's Entrelac Blanket

Tricia said, 'I finally finished this! It's been lying in my wardrobe for about three years. It's pram-sized, and I started it to use up leftovers from a much bigger one I made for my nephew's son when he was born. This one is mainly knitted, but the border is crochet.'

Tricia's Inky Background

Tricia said, 'I had lots of fun making the background of this one - mixing various blue colours and then stamping over the top of it, before finishing with a stamped sentiment.'

Beryl's Matinee Jacket

Beryl said, 'I finally finished the matinee jacket.'

Nadi's Birthday Card

Nadi said, 'I managed to do a card for my daughter's birthday.'

Tricia's Card for a Man

Tricia said, 'Every June, my design teams have challenges to make cards for men. They're aiming at Father's Day, but keep the theme more general for people (like me) who no longer have a dad to send cards to. This is what I made this year.'

'A stamped image on top of a background I shaded with Brushos.'

Tricia's 'Under the Sea' Card

I've used a digital image, gelli plate a stencil and rubber stamping to make this card.

A Couple of Cards from Tricia

First, a card I made for a friend who was due to get married to her long-term partner at the end of this month. Unfortunately, the wedding had to be cancelled. I tried heat embossing onto tracing paper here, and was really pleased how well it worked.

This one was made for a challenge where I had to use humour. I tend to avoid humour on cards as it can often be hurtful, so I struggled a bit with this challenge until I came up with this idea. The 'chocolate' is all card and sticky pads covered in cooking foil.
