An inspiring day yesterday!

Hi crafters!

Just wanted to share with you something I did on my day off yesterday, at a truly inspiring workshop, at Daisy's Jewels & Crafts in Coventry.

The workshop was held by the fabulous mixed media artist and designer, Finnabair, from Poland. 



 I will be back with my Creative Expressions Design Team project, in my usual Wednesday slot, later this week! 

Have a good week.

News from the Trade Show at the NEC

Hi crafters

Something a bit different today, a sneak peak from the ICHA Stitches Trade Show, at the NEC in Birmingham.

 Creative Expressions launched lots of fabulous new products this week, for our trade customers to stock.

 This card was made using some really cute new clear stamps. They also have matching MDF shapes available but, as soon as I saw these, they were shouting out to me to be used with "fabric". I know I promised I wouldn't use the Wild Rose paper pad again this week, but so many of you seem to like it and it is perfect for this design.
A fairly clean and simple design but so much you can do with these stamps and MDF (both designed by Lisa Horton for Creative Expressions). 

The Shopping List is below but should you have any questions please ask. It would be lovely if you want to leave a comment. Your feedback is much appreciated.

May your day be like you - wonderful & special

Hi crafters

A more elaborate card today.

I wanted to see how else I could shape the petals made from the Orange Blossom - Complete Petals die set. The Wild Rose paper pad from Craft Consortium was still on my craft desk (I promise to step away from this beautiful paper pad next time), so I used two designs from this, together with some white card.



The Frosty Blossom colour palette from Cosmic Shimmer (chosen by Phill Martin) matched these papers really well, so I used some of the Colour Cloud Blending Ink and also the Twinkles Glue.

A Birthday Gift Bag

Hi crafters

Here is a brown paper bag which has been decorated for a Birthday gift.

I am still in love with this new Wild Rose paper pad from Craft Consortium, so don't want to waste any scraps if I can help it.


The flowers were made using the Orange Blossom Complete Petal and the Orange Blossom Open Petal die sets. 

A couple of tags were die cut using the Pierced Tags die set and the Pierced Tag Sentiments stamp set.


 A couple of flags were added and some pearls to trim the bag.

Wild Roses With Love

Hi crafters

A pretty, floral card today.

I absolutely adore this new Wild Rose paper pad from Craft Consortium. The pad is 12x12" with scaled down designs, so they are perfect for cardmaking projects. The hardest part was deciding which papers to use as they are all so gorgeous.



The large flower was made using the Orange Blossom Complete Petal die set. A small resin flower was used in the centre.
