Rob & Liz's Blessed Adventures

Hi lovelies, Each month I have a 10 card class and in July I used the  fabulous Sea Breeze range from Couture Creations.   I am an avid fan of all things sea and beach related and I just loved playing with this range,   The range features papers, stamps,  embossing folders, trinkets and embellishments.   Not all the ladies enjoyed piecing the 2 sea horse die cuts, but I think it looked great when done.     The "Framing the Breeze" embossing folder  was my favourite of the collection.   While I try and keep the cards fairly simple, we are always challenged to get the cards completed in class. Ladies do always leave with everything cut, prepped and  ready for assembly.

Hi lovelies, Today I want to share with you the lovely Ashley. She is another of our beautiful lace Mannequins that have been designed by Helen.  She features hand dyed laces, ribbons and flowers. She features hand dyed laces, ribbons and flowers. With her shabby chic look, and the gorgeous laces Ashley was one of the most popular of our classes. 

Hi Lovelies, Today I would like to share with you another amazing Card of the Month kit that has been designed by Linda.   The July kit features the Calendar Girl range from Bo Bunny. Linda has made great use of the first 6 months of this range. These cards use some very clever folding and design technique.   The Kit includes all papers and card stock, ribbons and embellishments  to complete 6 cards.    If you would like a kit please contact the store.   or you can purchase the kit through our web page.

Hi Lovelies, Today I would like to share the cards that Linda designed for the  Magnolia Lane box that was taught by Helen. Linda designed 12 cards that beautifully complemented the box that was created. She made excellent use of the papers,   and the cabochons,  laces,  flowers  dies  pearls  and embossing folders This was such a wonderful class, and the finished projects were stunning.

Hi Lovelies, Every few months Linda and Helen combine forces to teach a set of cards  with a matching gift box to present them in. Their latest set used the beautiful Magnolia Lane Collection from Ultimate Crafts. Helen teaches the gift box part of this class. For this set she used an encyclopedia cover, and created the sides for the box,  Added paint, stencil work, papers and flowers to make this box so lovely that many of the ladies were having trouble deciding if they would give it as a gift as planned, or keep it for themselves. In our next blog post I will share the cards that Linda created for this beautifully upcycled box.

Hi lovelies, Today I thought I would share with you one of the lovely Mannequins that   Helen designs for classes in the store.    This delightful lady is called Vanessa She was taught in January this year,  and has been one of the most popular designs so far. She features some gorgeous laces, flowers and pearls. Those who attend the classes always have such a great time. Keep an eye out for more of these gorgeous ladies. 

Hi lovelies, Linda always makes such lovely cards.  For her class today, Linda designed the most beautiful screen card and 3 coordinating tags. The cards feature some beautiful hand painted die cuts. They the dies are from the Ultimate Crafts Padova range. They are painted using Tim Holtz Distress Inks. They are enhanced with some really cute little hand made lanterns. I can't wait to see what she comes up with next.
