 |
 |
| Make a slideshow |
Products used:
Crafters Companions Humphrey's corner Christmas wishes
Basic Grey Nordic Holiday cardstock Apre ski & Slalom
Nestabilities labels 21
Any snowflake punch...mines a Martha but I thinks its discontinued but you can use any snowflake die/punch
Flat back crystal gems

You might not be able to read the measurements on the slide so here they are for you to write down.
Cut a piece of cardstock 11" x 5" and then take a pencil and mark 1" up from the bottom and 1" in from the right hand side, then mark 2" on the right hand side and mark across to 1" again, repeat at 6 1/2" . You should now have 3 lines going up the page 1" wide. Repeat on the left hand side of the cardstock. Take a score tool and score along those 6 1" lines....on the slide show they are marked in green pen. Now take a craft knife and ruler and cut from the first score line upto the last one and stop, turn card around and repeat on the other side. The slideshow shows you what the card should look like when you have completed that part. Follow the pictures to fold the score lines and score the top part of the card.
Lastly, details of photo requirements for my scrapbook class this saturday are 1 6x4 portrait photo, its a heritage page and the photo can either be in black and white or sepia or include browns/black and reds. There is another layout using the left overs, but you can add the photo at a later date...I dont think you will get to that point on Saturday.

Saturday 19th November Make Take and Eat Cake Day
We just wanted to let you know that on Saturday 19th November we are hosting another day of cardmaking with tea/coffee and cakes to raise money for Marie Curie Cancer Care.
We have called it "Make, Take and Eat Cake".
It is all about coming along to our upstairs workshop - making a card or two using all the materials freely available and having a good social time while enjoying some great cakes and refreshments.
Jill and Karen will be on hand to help and guide you. (they put a lot of work into this day - thanks)
All this for a £2 donation which will go to the charity.
You can choose to take your card home with you or leave it to be sold to give even more to Marie Curie.
Last time we did this we helped raise over £100 on the day + the sale of the cards.
Come along anytime between 10am and 4pm and stay as long as you like. The more the merrier and the more money will be made.
Also, on Saturday Privilege Cardholders will get Double Points on any purchases made in the shop regardless of whether you go to the make and take and eat cake!
Of course if you are just out shopping - you are welcome to go upstairs and have cake and a drink for a donation - there were loads of cakes last time - thank you to all who donated them.
So, two robust reasons to pop in on Saturday - parking is free too!
See you soon

Stepper Card Tutorial
A while ago I was asked if I could do a tutorial for a stepper card, so finally I have done it and to make it simple for you I have added the photos in a slide show, which you can pause at any time.
Firstly the products I have used are:
Crafters Companions Humphrey's corner Christmas wishes
Basic Grey Nordic Holiday cardstock Apre ski & Slalom
Nestabilities labels 21
Any snowflake punch...mines a Martha but I thinks its discontinued but you can use any snowflake die/punch
Flat back crystal gems
Memento Black ink
White cardstock for card base plus some for colouring
Promarkers: Red, Oatmeal, Black, Warm Grey 1,2,3, Soft Green, Holly, Lime Green, Petrol Blue, Marine, Forest Green, Satin
Everything I have used is available to buy/order at the shop
You might not be able to read the measurements on the slide so here they are for you to write down.
Cut a piece of cardstock 11" x 5" and then take a pencil and mark 1" up from the bottom and 1" in from the right hand side, then mark 2" on the right hand side and mark across to 1" again, repeat at 6 1/2" . You should now have 3 lines going up the page 1" wide. Repeat on the left hand side of the cardstock. Take a score tool and score along those 6 1" lines....on the slide show they are marked in green pen. Now take a craft knife and ruler and cut from the first score line upto the last one and stop, turn card around and repeat on the other side. The slideshow shows you what the card should look like when you have completed that part. Follow the pictures to fold the score lines and score the top part of the card.
I hope you like the tutorial, leave us a comment and let us know. To celebrate my first attempt at a slide show I think I should give some blog candy away. Leave a comment and I will select one randomly next sunday to win a Humphrey Christmas Wishes stamp.
