Love, Love, Love

Hi bloggers, it's the start of a new week and with Valentine's Day not far away we have decided to give you a bit of Love inspiration this week, starting with Jo's fantastic card from her Love, Love, Love class at the weekend.

The card folds flat to fit in a beautifully decorated box that you can give to a loved one.

To create all the different sized hearts, Jo used the Crafts Too Smaller Scalloped Hearts nesting die set and also the Crafts Too Smaller Hearts nesting die set.

Jo used a range of beautiful flower and heart dies including Joy! Crafts Corner Roses die, Joy! Crafts Heart filled with Hearts die, Joy! Crafts Hearts 3x die set and La La Land Hanging Hearts and Love word die set.

This was the first class of 2016 and our full class list for Feb. - May is now available to view here.

Slick Sliding Cards

Hi bloggers, today we want to share with you Jo's slick sliding cards from her class last week. Jo used some of the new Crealies dies to create her cards, alongside some beautiful Maja Design papers.

Jo used Joy Crafts Cherry Blossom Tree stamp set to add these wonderful sentiments to her cards.

For Jo's next card she used Crealies Create A Card die no. 9.

These card designs are a great way to update your cardmaking skills and definitely beats any pre-made cards in those high street shops. 

Don't forget Charry will be demonstrating Crealies Create A Card dies at our Shop Birthday Demo Event on Saturday 25th July - so if you want a bit of help and inspiration for your cardmaking make sure you pop by and see Charry.

Jo's Dainty Tea Box

Hi bloggers, today we want to share with you Jo's Dainty Tea Box from her class a couple of weeks ago. Jo used her signature Sospeso flowers to decorate the top of the box, creating a cascade of flowers down the box. Jo's choice in papers (Bo Bunny Garden Journal collection) makes this box ideal to sit in your kitchen to store tea bags!

Jo used the Afternoon Tea Border from Joy! Crafts to wrap around the middle of the box.

Birthday Card Book

Need somewhere to store your finished handmade greetings cards? Look no further than this Birthday Card Book made by Jo in her class from last Saturday. Each month has a handy pocket to store your handmade Birthday Card creations so you'll always be prepared for birthdays throughout the year. Let's take a closer look inside....

As you can see Jo used lots of lovely vintage papers to decorate the book and used the Joy! Crafts Grunge frames stamp set and Penny Black Life's Journals stamp set to make the labels on the pockets for each month. Jo also used Jen Long's Calendar Months die set to die cut each month.

Jo binded the book altogether using the Zutter Bind It All and designed it in a clever way so that the binding is hidden under the cover of the book so it can't be seen from the outside, making it look professional and stylish so you can leave it out on show.
