Valentines Day Cards

Only a few weeks until Valentines day.

We will be having a class were we will be making six romantic and beautiful cards.

As always it will be a fun and creative day.

 

 

9 February 2013

Rooihuiskraal Historical Terrain

Looking forward to seeing you there.

 

Getting ready for a Creative Christmas

Handmade gift wrap,

huge paper flowers,

paper bunting,

Washi tape notepads and gift bags......

these are a few of my favourite things....
 and we made them all during our class on Saturday.

These boxes and flowers are some of the easiest and

most stunning projects to make for Christmas.

Do them in any colour combo you like

and make the flowers really BIG.

When making your bunting, ensure that the

paper you use as backing, is strong enough.

Before you make the fold to cover the string,

you can also put down a piece of double sided tape
on that fold (but don't remove the backing).

This will prevent the string from pulling through your paper.



Many uses for one product, that is my kind of product.

Buy a ready made notepad. Cut a sturdy craft cardstock
slightly bigger than the notepad.
Do your scoring and folding.
Then make some washi tape or use ready made ones.
For this note pad, we made washi tape from tissue tape,
crinkle paper, a serviette (napkin) and some
Tim Holtz tissue wrap.
So much fun and so easy to work with.

The last project on the day was to use up all the self made

washi tape and decorate Christmas favour bags,

using doilies, rubber-stamping and loads of imagination!!

Thanks to all of you who joined us for this class.
As always, we enjoyed it with you!

Jaclyn's project will be a recipe folder that can become a treasured heirloom.

Using traditional paper crafting techniques to create your own recipe folder, such as:
Stamping
Punching
Cutting and
Using tissue paper to create accents
Her session will ensure that you have heaps of fun while learning and gaining confidence to make your own work of art.

In Benice's class you will decorate a box and fill it with "Spa related" items that you will mix and decorate on the day:

Bath Salts

Diffuser oils

You will also learn how to create unique charms with shrink plastic and

transform metal tape into a faux soldered border.

Elna will be your hostess on the day and she's already making body butter candles and super sexy hot chocolate jars to die for.

(You will not be willing to part with them, but rather keep them for yourself!)

4 February Event - A Sneak Peek

After the huge success of our event on 29 October last year, a number of our "groupies" urged us to have more get-togethers where they will have an opportunity to "play with paper".

So Elna, Jaclyn and I put our heads together and decided to do just that!

The result - Papier Plesier...
(For the benefit of our English-speaking readers - Paper Pleasure)

Our schedule for 2012 is as follows:

4 February - Love and Friendship
14 April - TBA
9 June - TBA
9 August - All of Woman
1 September - Spring is in the air

Here is a sneak peek at the project that Elna will be teaching in her class. 3 canvases of 6"x6" with friendship as the theme.

Please check in in a few days' time to find out more about the project that I will be teaching - Love in a Tin - to fit in with Valentine's Day that is almost a month away...
