Crafty afternoon
Good evening, Hope you are all enjoying a lovely Bank Holiday Weekend. I have had my feet up with my crafty stuff today and I've been having a lovely "play". I've made these three cards from the SWALK CD and Stamps, which I just cannot put down and absolutely never tire of. I know I am biased, just a little, but I honestly think that this is the best range to be released this year, hows that for a statement!This card has been layered with printed papers from the SWALK CD, the image and frame cut using a nestability. the... -

HSE TRIP
Well, it’s been a busy trip to HSE in Germany – I had 4 shows with the Christmas embossing boards, and they really seemed to love them over here! Here’s a picture of my table backstage – you can see some of the samples – they’ve all been made in traditional colours, because that’s what’s popular over here in Germany.Lots of the samples are adaptations from projects on the Christmas DVD. This basket is one of my favourite projects – it’s actually really easy to make, because it’s just based on the expanding box principle but with extra gussets at... -

Popcorn Platinum Project
by Meg at Crafter's CompanionHi everyone! Did you manage to catch Sara on Create and Craft earlier? The Popcorn Platinum range has proven so popular since we launched it in early July, so I'm not surprised the triple disc set sold out during the show! One of the features of the CD that everyone loves is the Frame Card. I thought I'd come on here and post a project designed by one of our talented DT members - Nicola Jolliffe - of a Get Well Soon frame card, from the Floral and Kids CD from the Popcorn Platinum range.You will... -
