Shrink Plastic Magic

 Our most recent meeting saw us playing with shrink plastic. We had some basic die cut shapes and were able to trace further images to colour and cut out before using a heat tool to perform the magic. We used them to make keyrings and bag charms.

Cardmaking Session

 Our most recent meeting was planned to be a free-style cardmaking session, but we had to finish the notebook holders we had started previously, and Adrienne wanted to show us how to use paper napkins to make cards, while Tricia demonstrated easel-style cards.

Notebook Holders

 Recently, Adrienne led a session making holders for notebooks using corrugated card and pretty paper. The results were lovely!

More Tote Bags

 Because some members couldn't come to our last meeting, we had a repeat today, decorating tote bags using inks, stamps and stencils. All of these used Versafine or Versafine Clair ink.

Tote Bag Decorating

At our most recent meeting, we've been decorating fabric (mainly tote bags) using inks, stamps and stencils. Obviously, the tote bags have two sides, so we had the chance to create twice!

There will be more of the same next time, as a couple of members were unable to attend this week.

Decorative Paper Cutting

 For our first session after the summer break, Adrienne led a meeting on decorative paper cutting. She supplied patterns, and we all set to with craft knives! These take a lot longer than you'd think to cut, but we've got a few samples. The image used here was a trial one, and downloaded from the Seasalt and Samphire site where it's one of their freebies.

Dominique displayed hers on some pretty patterned paper.




Nadi used a beautiful red background

Tricia displayed hers on some textured card, and made a card frame.
