Mixed Craft Saturday featuring Michele's Magazine Review

Good Morning Ladies,

I hope that you are all well and ready to enjoy the weekend,  now I must apologise for telling you that it was time to put your clocks forward,  thats next weekend, this weekend is the Spring Equinox, I am just too eager to get to the sunshine filled days and longer evenings!  If you think back to last March we were experiencing some glorious weather, I often go back and read what we were doing this time last year, I wrote a post about sitting out in the Sun watching Paul do some gardening!  Some of the better memories of last year!

Cheryl has been busy 'upcylcling' some boxes ready to be filled with lovely things to add to the Sales Table to raise funds for Cardiomyopathy (Heart Charity). You must have raised a huge amount by now Cheryl with your different Sales, Lucky Dip bags and Charity Darts matches.  I am guessing thst Cardiomyopathy like a lot of Charities missed out on a lot of fundraising last year.  You should be so incredibly proud of your achievements.

Hi Ladies,

Simply Cards & Papercraft has a lovely free gift this month. A very pretty set of coordinating stamps & dies.

Here’s some ideas of what’s inside the magazine.

First feature using the free gift-lovely cards.

More lovely card but something different. Spinner cards which look amazing.

A guide to colouring using the stamps & dies.

Even more inspiration for some different craft projects.

Great article explaining how to make a Pop up card.

This article is using an SVG file but I’m sure we’ve all got similar Dies to recreate these gorgeous cards.

WOW-just look at these, all created from paper,

More stunning creations.

Great idea for an all occasions card.

Some great ideas for cards for men in this article.

Some lovely ideas for using colour on your cards.

Some more inspiration.

That’s all for this week so
Happy Crafting

Your craft shopping 

Lilian 

Lilian you have bought some lovely things, I love those background dies that you have bought,  they look just like the ones I was looking for a couple of weeks ago.  Your Lavinia stamps are lovely,  especially that Bridge scene, the little branch is a really useful little stamp too. How gorgeous are those Swirl stamps?! I can't wait to see wgat you create with those.  Now I like you had to buy another Corner Rounder punch, infact I now have 3 for exactly that reason 🤣!

Lilian's Description:

'"New corner punch, because my old one is somewhere safe, it does round and Inverted corner.
The packet at the back is a pack 100 gold leaf sheets my son sent me for Mother’s Day, not used before.
Stamps are a few new ones I fancied, love those swirls."

Thanks Lilian for sharing your craft shopping with us XXX 

Michele 

Michele I love that background die you have bought and who knew that Biogradeable Glitter came in so many lovely colours!! You will love the Gilding kit, it's messy but great fun and so effective ! 

Michele's Description:

"Die was a eBay purchase & so were the jewel pickers. Glitters, gilding flakes kit & cello bags were from Craftstash."

Thanks Michele for sharing your shopping with us XXX 

Pat

Oh Pat your new Groovi plates are so lovely,  I love all of the 'Tea' themed plates, such a lovely range of plates,  the combinations are endless!  So many people are desperate to share a cup of tea with someone so cards featuring that theme seem extra special right now, I am looking forward to seeing your designs .

Pat's Description:

"My buys this week. This was one big bundle. You also get a lovely postcard to use with your orders now."

Thanks so much Pat, I am very much looking forward to our getting back to our weeks meet ups,  it seems like forever since I have seen you XXX
