Our new teacher Paula completed her first class successfully on Saturday teaching how to use Promarkers. She did very well and all the ladies produced very professional looking cards. Well done Paula!!!
From left to right, Anne-Marie, Anne, Susan and Paula!
At our scrapbooking class today we made pages including a shaker box and curvy lines. All the pages ended up looking totally different but using the same techniques. The shaker box elements on the pages were made using the Mandala Reflections Embossing Board. Well Done ladies, they all look fabulous!!

Didn’t everyone do well. These cards were made with Ollyfant Autumn 2 clear stamps and coloured in with watercolour pencils and brushmarker pens. The backgrounds were made with Glimmer Mists and Distress Inkpads.
On friday last week Sheilagh and I had great time making these little Birdhouses to hang on the Christmas Tree. They are made with new U-Mount sheets of stamps available from our online shop. We stamped them in Versafine Black Ink onto our best selling 300gm smooth white card, and coloured them in with watercolour pencils.
This is my first attempt at using alcohol inks and it hasnt turned out to bad. The card is already glittered around the edge, I masked off the glittery edge with a sheet of paper and stamped the group of trees from the Darkroom Door Yuletide 1 stamp set using black Versafine ink. The Large tree is stamped in green Versafine onto white card and cut out and ribbon tied round and knotted.
The red and green background is made with Lettuce and Cardinal red alcohol ink wiped onto gloss card in a wave motion with a bit of felt. I then stamped the trees in Black Stazon. and embossed the shape of the background on my Mandala Reflections Board. I edged the panel with a Sakura gold Pen Touch metallic pen stamped the message and star on the card and then layered everything up on foam pads. Lastly I added a green crystal to the centre of the star.
Here are the pictures from one of our windy day classes. Our youngest class member Hannah did brilliantly!!

I then went on to make a christmas version which i filled the shaker with Polar White Flower Soft which I really like, unfortunatley I stuck it the wrong way round on the card blank and it opened the the opposite way round!!
Well I fianally got to have a play with my new stamps while I am off work this week. I just love the father christmas image on this stamp set, he looks so realistic.The swirl on the side of the card was made with my new Slice machine ( which I got for my birthday on Tuesday!) and the piece I cut out I coloured in with Sakura Superpoints and added the dotty effect with the colour remover pen and stuck it on the inside of the card right behind the aperture.The dotty green paper is by Bo Bunny
I stamped the Santa image onto cream card and coloured the holly on his hat with superpoints and added a touch of glitterey blue with a stardust pen.
I layered him onto gold and red which I embossed on the new Mandala Reflections Embossing Board by Eazi. I also made the red border on the board also.I stamped the baubles and the Pine leaves by colouring the stamps with the superpoints and stamping with them and then stamped the message with Versafine Black inkpad.
The crystal flower is from Kars X-mas collection.
All the stamps used are from Yuletide 2 collection by Darkroom Door.
