Honey Doo Crafts Workshop

 I decided to attend a card making workshop that was being held nearby in Ravenwood Hall - it was time to try some out different techniques and materials! 


We made 3 different cards using stencils, heat embossing, vellum and distress oxide inks, using some of their brand new products.


The demonstrations were clear, everyone was very friendly and a lovely lunch was included.


Honey Doo also had their full range available to buy, so I treated myself to new stamps, stencils and inks


Then, of course, had to try them out when I got home to make some more fab cards.


So I can highly recommend their workshops if you have the chance to attend - I'll be keeping an eye out for their next one in Suffolk - although some of the attendees were regulars who had travelled some distance. People on my table had come from Hastings, Milton Keynes and Saffron Walden !

They also attend a lot of craft shows up and down the country.

Lucky Me

 
I was lucky enough to win this Tonic Cardmaking Collection kit last week.  Christina Griffiths from Card Making Magic, has a regular giveaway on her blog (called Flowers, Ribbons & Pearls) and last week I was the winner!


There are lots of papers and toppers, an embossing folder and 10 stamps!



Plus a fab Floral Cuff die and loads of ideas in the magazine to inspire you to use it - a great giveaway!

Why not pop over to her blog and see what she is giving away this week, she posts one every Friday and the winner is drawn out of the hat on Saturday! You could be lucky like me.

Cards Galore!


Getting into the swing of stash busting now and trying to be more inventive with different designs to use up old stuff


The charity card pile is now getting bigger and I have plenty in stock for my own use.


However, I have just bought a job lot of 500 5 x 7" white card blanks from eBay at a great price - they should keep me going for a while!

Card Making Magic Stars!


Last year I mentioned about the Masculine dies and stamps I won from Christina Griffiths  & Card Making Magic


Well, I have now got around to using the stars die from that set and have made 3 of a kind birthday cards for men, using different colour schemes and backing papers


They were quick makes, so I must remember them in future if I need to produce a card in a hurry!
