NEW Penny Black

Demo Day - Part three

Final cards from our Demonstration event  - if you do get a chance to pop along to our store all these
cards are on display in our Classroom so do pop in and look at them as they really do look lovelier in real life.

here is another one of Karens stunning La Blanche cards, lots of 3d on this one

that can't be picked up by the camera.

Another Caz Creation.  Marianne Birds and branches.

Caz used the Distress Paints to colour the leaves and also used one

of the birdhouse stamp and die sets also from Marianne.

Paula made this happy sunny card with her own Sizzix Designs

Even more birds, branches, flowers and birdhouses from Caz

Sue M used the cameo set of punches to make this lovely card

Here is a lovely Tag that Charry made using the Joy! die

This was Karen's Make and Take Tag.  She has used the Coredinations

cardstock with an embossing folder to create the two toned background.

Caz who is most definitely NOT a sewer enjoyed

playing with the dies, felt and some threads to make these

cute bag hangers - proof that you don't have to be a master

at sewing to have fun with these dies.  They cut the felt beautifully and 

the True Felt come in a lovely selection of colours and is

beautiful quality.

Here is Caz's Make and Take.  A little bit of felt, die cutting and stamping

From Trash to Treasure - Caz re-used this parcel tape

inside to make this cute little trinket pot.  With the number

of packing tapes we get through we think Caz will be

making these in her sleep!  A great little gift idea.  Teamed

up with some lovely papers and dies who would have known?

Sorry for all the birdy/owl cards but Caz really did enjoy her

prep time and made so many cards :)  Here is the Marianne

Owl and the flowers made in felt.

Almost at the end and Caz made this 3d birdhouse

using the Marianne Birdhouse and Flowers stamp and die set

This time Caz used the Marianne Butterfly die.

And lastly some more cute felt creations.  The Chick was

made by cutting the ear parts off the owl.  We also think this would

be a great robin/penguin for Christmas.

Well we hope you have enjoyed looking at these cards.  We will be back later with

a picture of last weeks Create and Take.

Demo Cards part 2

More cards from our demo event.  There are more to following tomorrow too :)

The template for this birdhouse can be found in the Marianne Mini Idea magazine part 1

Here Caz has used the Marianne Bird and a little birdie tells me this is part of the offer

of the week on our website HERE  be quick!

and the Marianne Branch and Flower

Caz this time used the owl and branch - those 3d flowers were a breeze with

the Imaginesce Petal roller

Papers.  A Memory Box "Hello" thrown in for good measure
