Artwork by Vicky

Earl Grey

Lesley created this card using our new Time for Tea stamp set.

Lesley stamped the images using Archival black inkpad and then coloured them using Distress Inkpads (Antique Linen, Vintage Photo and Weathered Wood) and a waterbrush. 

Grandma's Doiley and Tea Philosphy have been stamped with Dove Grey stazon.

Its Twisted!

  I hope you can see the measurements but if not this is an A4 piece of card, all of the dotted lines are the folds needed to create this card. 

The first is through the centre of the card vertically (top to bottom) to create a tall creased card. 

The next crease is 10.5cm from the top. 

The final creases are the diagonals 18cm at the edges to 14cm in the centre.

I would suggest making pencil lines at the measurements listed and then score with a bone folder.  You need to fold along all your creases to make sure they move easily.  Then fold in where my thumb is.  The top crease needs to fold away from you so it looks something like this:

Your finished creased card should look like this.  Vicky is createing this one in our TV show on Thursday at 12 noon using our Ballet and Flowers & Leaves unmounted stamps. 

If you are having trouble and are able to pop into our shop this Saturday during our Demo Day we will be happy to show you.

New Time for Tea Stamps

Design Team member Chris made these using our new Time for Tea unmounted stamp set which is being featured in our Create & Craft show on Thursday 10th May at 12 noon.

Wildflowers

You can see Brenda has been busy playing with our Wildflowers set again, ready for our TV show next Thursday on Create & Craft.
The top card can be made by creating a reverse mask of a heart and then stamping over the heart so all the Wildflowers are instead the heart.
The bottom card is one of the Wildflowers stamped onto shrink plastic.
