Halloween, Christmas and a thank you - all in one class!

Last week I held my monthly card-making classes - Simply Fun Class - where you can come along have a good natter and little bit of fun putting together some simple projects.

This month I focused on the Rooted in Nature suite, this has a mega large stamp set, framelits, papers and much more.  I have had so much fun using this set, you will too!

In the UK halloween is getting more and more popular, but it is still not something that we would send cards out for or make a huge fuss over (see my instagram page for some cute Halloween projects over the next few weeks Fionas1976).  However, we do like the goodie bags and the hone decor pieces, so one of the projects was this:


Super cute Halloween box using the silver gabled boxes in the Annual Catalogue. A bit of washi tape and using the 'Black Ice' Technique on the silver foiled oval.

Obviously I had to add a Christmas project in, and this used the Champagne Shimmer Paint to 'ghost' the stamped images, it really adds that extra bit of class to projects.


This last project is super quick and cute, just change the colours to reflect you mood at the time and I just love the skeleton leaves stamps (you get two in different sizes).  I made this in to a thank you card.


Every one at the classes this week loved the projects and loved having a chance to unwind with everyone else.

If you can't make it to class but would still like to natter and craft along in a small way, then join my Facebook group, Papercraft for All

Beautiful Baubles Shadow Card

I got the inspiration for this card from watching Barbara Gray, from Clarity Stamps and I hope I have done her technique proud.  I have used the brights for the colour palette as something a little different from the traditional Christmas colours, but you can use whatever colours you like.





Here are a few more samples made in various colours

Beautiful Baubles Part Two

At the weekend I held my Create a Little More class with the Beautiful  Baubles.

Each month I showcase a bundle or suite of products via my classes.  I hold two Simply Fun Classes, which showcases quick and simple cards with the emphasis on having a fun time.  The Create a Little More looks at a few different techniques and is generally a longer class.  The Simply Fun class is £15 or you can buy the suggested products to a similar price and the Create a Little More requires product purchases to participate.

These are the projects we created using the Beautiful baubles bundle.

I love easel cards, particularly when we get dies big enough to create the card blank.  It is a very simply technique where you hang the edge of the die of the edge of the cardstock or die machine plate to ensure it doesn't cut the central crease in a card blank.


There are so many ways to use the shimmer paint.  I used the Frosted White Shimmer paint and mixed it with ink to paint the baubles in.  Glimmer paper also helps to set the cards off.


Well, the trees are still a little drunk, but mainly manages to get this image straight.  To see the process,m watch out for my video this week (released on You Tube on Wednesday, and blogged here on Thursdays)


This Friday (28.09.18) is the cut off for signing up to the very popular Brusho Course, there are only three spaces available so if you are interested, then email me at fispapercraft@hotmail.co.uk.

The 5th October will be the cut off for signing up to next months classes, which will be based around the Rooted in Nature suite.  The Create a Little More class will be a 12x12 sampler - I am excited to offer this class for the first time.
