Coffee & Cards (C & C)

We  had a busy and creative month in January and it was so good to restart our sessions after the Christmas break.

We had two fancy fold projects which were made using items from the Annual Catalogue - one was a 'wiper card' with a retro theme that was perfect for those difficult male cards.

As usual, we will be creating a very special project in time for Valentines Day - this year we will be using a stamp and die bundle called Heart Shaped that you can earn for free with a qualifying purchase during Sale-A-Bration.  Our project will light up to make it extra special!

Sessions take place every Tuesday, 10.30 - 12.30pm in Godmanchester.  The cost is £15 and includes all materials, tuition and light refreshments.  Classes are suitable for all level of crafters from absolute beginners to more advanced crafters.  Keep an eye on my facebook page for further details.  

If you are unable to attend the regular morning session drop me a message as I may be able to offer either an afternoon or evening session for you.

Workshops

The Floral Delight workshop proved very popular; everyone made a no cut/glue card folio and four pretty notecards using this lovely new suite featured in the Mini Catalogue.  I have so many ideas in my head that feature this suite; it will be making an appearance at a C & C session soon!

For February workshops we will be using a new suite of products from the Mini Catalogue - The Wildflower Birthday Suite.  Projects are in-hand and I will share further details shortly.  One of our projects is a 'slide and reveal' card!

I have two options for you this month that both include the stunning Designer Series Paper (DSP) in this suite.  You can choose either a half pack or full pack of the DSP to use to create your projects with plenty left over to take home with you.  The colours are so pretty; Blueberry Bushel, Old Olive, Peach Pie, Pool Party, Pretty in Pink,and Soft Sea Foam).  Also included are two sheets of die cut images (full pack).

Date:    Tuesday 25th February

Time:    10:30 - 1pm

Cost:     £33 to include all materials, equipment and 1/2 a pack of the stunning 

            Wildflower Birthday DSP (8 sheets) and light refreshments.

OR

I also have an additional workshop available this month - I found a box in the garage that contained several kits from a workshop that was planned prior to lockdown that I had completely forgotten about!

The Perennial Birthday Kit retired sometime ago along with the coordinating stamp set and even some of the colours of ink needed to complete.  However, all is not lost as I still have the stamps and inks!

The kit comprises a gorgeous box that contains tabbed dividers for each month of the year so you can organise birthday cards to ensure you never forget a birthday again.  The kit also includes the components for making 16 birthday cards, 4 each of 4 designs.

I only have a limited number of these kits, so please book early to avoid disappointment. 

For all classes and workshops please bring basic craft tools with you (bone folder, scissors, paper trimmer etc) if you have them and your preferred adhesives - I have limited supplies available for sale on the day if you forget or run out.

Classes take place at my home in Godmanchester unless otherwise stated.

Full payment is the only way to guarantee your place as regretfully, I have been let down in the past saving places for people who have not attended.

Sorry, no refunds unless I cancel the event. If for any reason you are unable to attend, I will do my best to find someone else to take your place but can't guarantee to do so. If not, your workshop kit will be available for collection after the event (kit will include basic supplies but no stamped images as per SU rules).
