Treated myself to a new stamp from Honey Doo Crafts - the Floral Oval Frame with the Oval Mask & Stencil Set which were in the sales. Was delivered within 2 days, so very impressed!
Made several cards with the stamps and stencil in different colourways this morning, lovely crisp images with super sentiments to go with them!
Wishing you all a happy, healthy and crafty 2025
I tried it a couple of times with paste and spray paints, but never like the effect, so it sat at the bottom of a drawer, forgotten and neglected for 8 years.
Now, I have discovered it makes a lovely birthday card for gardeners using pink, purple and blue distressed oxide inks. Finished it off with a metallic purple dragonfly brad, that I have probably had for 8 years too!
In fact, I have treated myself to some more blending brushes to get a smoother finish to them
Honey Doo have just announced they are holding another workshop in September, so I'm going to book onto that now.
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.
