Suzanne Foard's Demonstration Day

We love to welcome new tutors into our shop to teach for us, a great way for you to meet our new tutors to see their styles of card making and teaching is to watch them during a demonstration. 

Our newest designer Suzanne Foard will be demonstrating on Saturday 23rd February. More details and a peek at Suzanne's beautiful colouring is below.

Made on the cameo


As well as cards and scrapbook pages the Cameo and Portrait are fantastic machines for making 3D items and also Home Decor projects with the vinyl.

Below is a floral paper arrangement made using a couple of the flower files from the Silhouette store, these files are just 65p each and once purchased are used by you as many times as you want and in whatever sizes you want.  Here I have used some green washi tape on some thick wire to make the stems, add some leaves and you have an instant fun splash of colour for even the dullest winters days.


A simple but effective little piece of vinyl was added to my wall here next to a new picture frame
 (yes so new it hadn't been filled yet)  This file again was purchased from the Silhouette store for just 65p.  This file was called "Bird on Tree Design ID #4395" 


It was cut in the leaf green premium vinyl.  Remember when ordering your vinyl you will need to use the transfer paper which makes adding your vinyl to your surfaces much much easier.  The vinyl adds a lovely touch to plain walls and there are so many designs to suit all tastes.

Opps Happy New Year!

Where has the time gone?  No sooner it was Christmas its now a month into 2013 and we've missed blogging until now.  For that we apologise, but we promise to do better this year with lots more information and cards added here.  To start off we'd thought you might like to pencil two of our special events in your diaries before you start filling them up.
