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.)

Technology troubles!

Just a quick update while I am able to access the blog! We are still having a few technical difficulties at home so I have limited internet access at the moment. May not be able to add any of my photos till it is fixed. But watch this space...I may work out a way!! Or we might get it fixed!

The next Ashtead workshop is on a sports/male theme. Kay will be demoing 'steampunk' techniques and I do have some photos of these that Kay emailed to me - see below.



We also have some decoupage sports sheets, cigarette style sports cards and lots of rubber stamps for you to play with. A good chance to get more ideas for those always tricky male cards!!

And remember the challenge this month is to make a sports/olympic themed card.
