May meeting 8th - Male cards

Hi everyone, Hope you are all well, it's that time again. Can't believe I've only got four weeks to go until my due date! Wendy will be in charge next month. First of all I'm hoping most of you will be able to come, the last few months there have only been about 5 or 6 of us and to be honest if it carries on like this we might have to rethink the club as we are not covering the rent of the room. So it will either mean increasing the subs or if there are only going to be a few of us it running it from home. Wendy, Tina and I are hoping to have a meeting to see what we can come up with. On to next week, something nice and easy, I'm struggling to craft at the moment. We are going to be having a "male" themed week. It's Father's Day on the 17th June so they can be Father's Day or Birthday cards. If you want to bring a selection of stamps maybe we could stamp a few of each others and it might inspire everyone. Embellishments such as buttons, brads and string work well on male cards.
There are no birthdays this month so see you soon x

April meeting - 10th

Hello and welcome to another month, crossing fingers the snow will miss us after those lovely few days of summer we had the other week, wish it would come back!

This month's project is a Criss Cross Card, these make good invitations or in my case birth announcements (if you've time to make lots of them!) pretty straight forward and only need your usual stuff, cardstock, papers, images and embellishments.

The card itself is made up of two 6x6 card blanks plus an extra piece of 6x6 for the insert. Obviously any size square will work, I just prefer this size.





We have one birthday this month, Margaret Jackson.

See you next week, hope you all have a lovely Easter.
