coffeepot

Good morning all! Hope you are doing ok. I am fine and bringing you my makes from our Coffeepot session yesterday - the ladies wanted to play with distress oxides before committing to buy so thats just what we did. I made a card based on a canvas I has done with Jo Rice and used Clarity stamps throughout.

The one on the left is the inspirational card - the one on the right I made going through the techniques with th ladies.

I used distress oxides to create the background - using three on a sheet, spritzing with water and smooshing my card through. Next I added more of single colours and built up layers until I was happy. Next I stamped the two stamps in the corners and added the white highlights. I repeated this process on a piece of A4 card and stamped and fussy cut lots of flowers and leaves before adding them to the card in the form of a wreath - that was after I had added the friendship stamped onto white card.

I think the ladies enjoyed the process even if they didn't finish what they were doing!!!

Hope you have a great day! 

Big hugs

New year ....new coffeepot!

Hello all! Well yesterday was the first of our new coffeepot year. And it saw a change in venue! The vicarage was no longer available for us to use so we have moved to my dining room! But only once a month!!!!There were 6 of us yesyerday and we did some simple cards using clarity stamps from jayne nesterenko!

They really are the most stunning stamps!

And I love the fuchsia too!

The ladies all loved the stamps and thoroughly enjoyed having a good colouring session! 

I have planned next month already - its going to be gelatos and crazy dogs - so quite different indeed!!!

I hope you have a great Tuesday! Enjoy whatever it is that you're doing!

coffee pot baubles

Good morning lovelies! How are you? I hope you are well. We are good althoughI am  reeling from the news we may have rats under the floorboards - and if so they're getting in due to broken drains - doesn't it just get better and better??? Watch this space - I will update you when I know any more!

Coffeepot was under my control this week - I decided to do baubles - the ladies loved making them - I didn't have quite enough to make another one as a demo so I made a card instead. Here are my makes...

I bought the baubles at clarity cumbria - the poinsettias are double sided.

I made the card to demonstrate making the poinsettias - they are made using chloe stamps stamped in red archival, coloured with distress and then I added glitter modge podge to them before cutting out and mounting together. The music stencil is from TH - as is the stencilled believe.

Take care and have a great wednesday!
