This month's club will be held on Monday 14th April - usual time 10am-noon.
With Easter soon upon us we'll be making some Easter cards although they can be adapted for other occasions if you so wish.
I bought some new X-Cut nesting die sets, one of Egg shapes and one of Paisley shapes and we will be using these for our cards.
I have cut out all the parts needed for the "Quirky Bird" card to get you all started and we will be inking the edges to get more definition on the shapes, plus adding a speckled background.
The Egg card is a bit more traditional and I have left it up to you all to choose your own colour combinations for this one. Inking the edges again though. (cross optional)
A quick reminder for those not so sure of the Cuttlebug plates to use.
The dies are all thin dies so you'll need from the bottom up:-
"A" Base plate
"C" Adapter plate,
Die face up,
Card/paper face down
"B" Cutting plate on top and away you go.
Hope to see you all on 14th.
Oh and do pop over to the Ashtead blog for more Easter inspiration
About Me

- Hi, Welcome to my Blog. I'm an eclectic kind of crafter delving into many pots. I am just about managing to keep up my Scrapbooking Diary (currently a year behind!), plus any cards as required. As my Carpal Tunnel allows I am getting into yarn/fabric crafts with slow stitching and needle felting added to my list. I continue with my love of Watercolour and Bible Journaling plus Faith/Art Journaling with acrylics and inks. I completed my challenge to make an art journal page a day for my 60th year in 2024. My list of crafty exploits includes ATCs, Tags, Altered Books, Mixed Media, Décopatch, Knitting, Crochet, and Embroidery. I live in Surrey, UK with my husband, our son has left home now. For exercise I usually play Badminton and go Ballroom and Latin Dancing. I also like Walking/Geocaching. I have been learning to play the harp for the past 10yrs. I am now officially retired. I am a born again Christian, currently worshiping at my local Evangelical Church.
