Lots of piccies!

Challenge winners, never-ending cards and magnetic interactive card piccies and lots of them! Looks like you had a busy month without me! See below for the dual Challenge cards - backgrounds created by one person then handed on to someone else to finish.

Well done to Carol S. and "A.N. Other" for their winning entry (above). If you recognise the purple clock Cosmic Shimmer misted background then let us know as you and Carol both win half price entry into your next workshop!! (Brenda, Marie or Vanessa was it yours?!! Apparently none of you claimed it on the night)

Well done to Karen for her demo on the Never-ending cards (above) and thank you for helping with transporting stuff up to Card Club in my absence. Click here for demo notes on how to make a Never Ending Card.

And finally some of your magnetic movable embellishment cards - very impressed with the ideas and creativity! I love "Ollie" the Olympic torchbearer! Well done all!!

Interactive cards

Our next workshop on Wednesday July 25th is only days before the Olympic opening ceremony, so we thought we would have a sporting and action packed theme! We will have two demos - Karen will be doing "never ending cards". These are perfect for kids (and men!) and will keep them occupied for hours, well a couple of minutes at least!! There are four surfaces to decorate, so should keep you busy too!

Michelle will be making interactive magnetic cards. Create a background for your card and then stamp, colour and cut out a sporting character. Attach a magnet to his back then use a second magnet inside the card to allow him to be moved around as if by magic! He can also be used as a fridge magnet at a later stage! (This card not recommended for younger children.)

Cute and cuddly, animals and nature...

...our theme for this month. Claire will be doing cute animal-shaped cards with moving arms and wobbly heads, including a Churchill card (Oh yes, yes, yes!).

Kay will be doing nature cards, with a bit of cuddly going on, in terms of using texture with felt and tyvek die cut shapes.


And Michelle will be stamping cute animal images or using peel-offs to create a scene (just like her to create a scene!!) on a 3D step card.

And don't forget we will be announcing the results of our card competition this month and returning any unsold cards, along with any earnings from Village Day.
