Create & Craft Samples



What a fabulous time I have been having working with all the wonderful new dies in preparation for last Sundays Create & Craft show.  I have enjoyed every second of working with them and today want to share some of the samples I made for the show.

It is really hard to pick a favourite but I did adore working with the 3D Flower, it is one of those dies that you can use time and time again and get so many different results! These flowers were cut from felt and added to a hessian bag.

The Gazania and Plumeria from Susan's Garden are so beautiful and such fun to create.  These would be amazing to use with wedding stationary or decorations.

The Tim Holtz Stencilled Decorative Strip Alphabet was great to work with and a must have for any crafter wanting to add words to their creations. Here I added it to an acetate strip which gave the wording a 3D effect.

And of course, the ultra popular Tim Holtz Caged Bird which is great for so many different occasions and projects.

Well that is all from me.  If you have any questions about any of these designs or the others that I demonstrated on the show please let me know and I will do my best to help.

Until next time ...

New Starters! (part 2)

Last week I said we would take a look at some more projects made with the New Big Shot Starter Kit which is creating quite a buzz due to it's eye catching colour scheme and set of fabulous dies, not to mention the long awaited extended multi purpose platform.

If you want to see the brand new starter kit in action they you had better check the schedules of Ideal World/Create and Craft for next Tuesday 3rd and Wednesday 4th, as there is a feast of Sizzix with loads of fun and informative demo's by yours truly. Alongside the Big Shot, we will be featuring some of our new die ranges, I can't wait!!!

I have just got hold of some photo's from a workshop which I taught in Helsinki. I was the guest of Sinelli who distribute Sizzix in Finland. They have set up a Big Shot Club which is dedicated to lovers of all things Sizzix and I was lucky enough to teach over 70 of its members. As I said last week if you are ever in Helsinki you MUST visit their main shop it's something else!
