Michele's Magazine Review







Good Morning Ladies,

Bumper blog post today which includes Danielle's stunning Bag & Tutorial Link, Michele's fantastic Magazine Review and then a look at Brenda's shopping.

First of all today I want to share the link to Danielle's Tutorial that features instructions to make the stunning bag shown above, the paper is gorgeous too, Danielle is so clever, she just makes these bags up as she goes along.  I think she is a fully qualified 'Paper Engineer' ! Lol xx

 Just Click this link :  Danielle's Bag Tutorial


We have also set up a Facebook Group together called 'Crafting With Riley & Rose'  which is both of our surnames, we hope to feature Craft Swaps, little competitions etc, you are all most welcome to come and join us on our little adventure into crafting together. Although I think I have invited most of you already.  

Now onto Michele's Magazine Review.....


Hi Ladies,
The latest look into this months selection of craft magazines.



Papercraft Essentials has a pretty set of Hunkydory toppers & background papers this month. Inside the magazine is a feature showing you how to use this free gift. There an interesting feature on partial heat Embossing too.






Cardmaking & Papercraft has a really lovely gift set-a cameo dies, stamps & an Embossing Folder.





This shows what you can make with the free gift.




Diecutting Essentials has a fantastic free gift this month. This Friday set reminds me of the Craftipotential sets -very much her style. There’s 2 features inside the magazine using the free gifts.





First feature using the free Dies.






Second feature.





Simply Cards & Papercraft Magazine has a fantastic set of stamps & matching Dies-British Garden Birds. There’s 2 features inside the magazine using the free gifts and Christina Griffiths has done a great YouTube video using this set. Great for those difficult to make “Men’s cards “!





This show some of the ideas you could create using the free gifts.






Making Cards magazine has a cute set of stamps & some lovely quality papers. There’s an interesting article on “environmentally friendly crafting “ inside this magazine-quite thought provoking.







Papercraft Inspirations magazine has a great set of Dies this month. They’re to Make Easel Cards but can be used as a decorative edge Die.





That’s everything this month-Happy Crafting.

Michele 



Thank you so much Michele for another fantastic review, I love how you now include the inspiration too, I think I might get the Papercraft Inspirations and Making Cards to start with. 



Brenda saw these lovely dies on offer at 'The Art of Craft' and couldn't resist them, I have to say that I don't blame you Brenda, they are so lovely and what a fantastic bargain. 
Thank you for sharing, I might go for a look and see what else they have! xxx


Paul is taking me over to visit Pat today after we have dropped the girls off at work, It will be so lovely to see you Pat after so many weeks. xxx

I hope that you all have a lovely day,

Love and hugs to all of you,

Sandra

    Very dark this morning but at least the high winds we had last evening and through the night seem to have calmed down.

    Beautiful bag and a wonderful Mag Review MICHELE. I'll pop into Smiths this morning and have a look.

    So off on our usual Saturday morning shopping and then it will be a 'see what happens' afternoon.

    The CAFE is OPEN, usual hours and this afternoon muffins and cream scones on the counter so help yourselves. Of course all calorie free lol.

    HUGE are on their way to you all with loads of extras for Dear Friends under the weather. Take care and stay safe.xxxx

    I’ve been trying to log into my google account for nearly 2 hours so I can comment!

    Dannielle-gorgeous bag.

    Brenda-love those Dies. Like Sandra, I think I’ll be looking at that site for bargains.

    If anyone has any questions about the magazines-please ask away.

    Sandra-it will be nice for you to have a catchup with Pat today. Hope you both have a lovely time.

    Quick trip into Southport then I must try to start a card. Not sure if we’re going to see Father in Law this afternoon as hubby has more work to do this weekend.

    Thank you MICHELLE for the review especially what’s on the inside as they all come in cello bags

    I love the look of your purchases BRENDA I keep trying to curb my spending on craft goodies as I have so many things I haven’t used yet but it looks like I might be visiting the site and see what’s on offer

    Now the windows and porch are finished I must do the “swear” word thing I have no energy whatsoever and just want to sit and slob in front of the television and crochet Four nights of dancing has caught up with me

    Take care all

    Enjoy your visit to PAT’s SANDRA I know you’ll both have fun and lots to talk about

  8. Hi Sandra and all in the Cafe today.
    I loved your gift bag that you shared I yesterday Sandra, that and the matching card will both be treasured by whoever receives them.
    Danielle, what a beautiful gift bag. You are certainly our”bag” lady and I mean that I’m the nicest possible way so please don’t think I am being rude, it’s just that you really do make wonderful gift bags.
    I will have to have a look at your new Facebook page. No doubt there will be lots of Wow things as you are both so talented at all things paper and card.
    Brenda, it’s good to hear that your sister doesn’t have to wait long for her op. I hope you manage to get some “me” time over the weekend x
    Lynda, I have emailed you to say a great big thank you for the wonderful letter and goodies that finally arrived from the post office this morning due to a mix up about delivery between us and the post office. It was well worth the wait though. Thank you again dear friend xx
    Stay warm ladies. Sending love and hugs to you all with extras for all in need. Take care xx

    DANIELLE I love your bag, it will make any gift very special.
    MICHELE Thank you for the magazine reviews. I have a copy of Die-cutting Essentials, the dies looked really good I couldn’t leave it on the shelf!!!
    I had an email from ‘The Art of Craft’’ about there sale. When I looked they had a few Tutti dies. The only one I have used so far is the one with the cross. It’s lovely.
    If anyone would like me to cut a few out for them I’m happy to oblige, just say what colour you would like.
    SANDRA I hope you found Pat was okay., I’m sure she was pleased to see you.xx
