Pink Glittermas

I made this card a couple of weeks ago.

Using our Stunning Snowflakes large and small

As well as Merry Glittermas

The small snowflakes are also from the Glittermas set.

The large snowflake is embossed in white onto column vellum.

I coloured the inside of the card bright pink to make the white snowflake stand out.

Stunning Snowflakes Black & White

This was sent in by one of our DT members

Using our Stunning Snowflakes large and small

as well as the Wish Upon a Snowflake sentiment.

Black and white never goes out of fashion and is always so striking.

Stunning Snowflake with Acetate

You probably can't see in this photo but I stamped the large Stunning Snowflake

onto the card and then placed a layer of acetate over the top.

Onto the acetate I traced the design using glitter glue..

O little town of Bethlehem.

I embossed the stained glass in white onto some stripy vellum.

I then coloured the reverse with promarkers.

You may have seen the announcement on Facebook recently but if you missed it we have started a joint venture with Be Creative (Once Upon A Stamp) and Hochanda TV.

This is a joint venture which will bring at least FIVE major retail shows to the UK in 2017 .

As the name suggests, Hochanda will be broadcasting live from each of the shows throughout the UK.
You will be able to meet with your favourite presenters and take part as a live studio audience as the live broadcasts take place throughout the day.
The key to the shows will of course be the retailers themselves who make Hochanda the success story of the past year .
The vision of Hochanda is to encompass all crafts whether it be Papercrafts, Needlecrafts, Pottery, Art, Woodwork and so much more .
We hope that all of the above and so much more will be present at each and every show .
The brief of Create it Events Ltd was to make the shows exciting with as many demonstrations and Make and Takes as we can possibly fit in . We had to make the shows affordable for both the exhibitors and you the public to attend .
