Glitter Pot Workshops

Yesterday I was down at the Glitter Pot doing some workshops. 


The ladies enjoyed themselves making 'bird-day' and 'Love' cards in the morning using my 'Sitting Pretty' Clear Magic stamp set. 


In the afternoon we tackled cards for men who like their gadgets!

We used this set:

FRCL213  Smart Gadgets

and this background stamp:

FRS212 Alphabet Background

Yes, the smiley is in the set! I punched them out using a Woodware 3/4" circle punch.

Of course you could easily change these cards to suit a young women by altering the colour scheme.


Thank you ladies for coming to the W/shop.

Wine Buff- Three for the men!

This is the second card from the Workshop I mentioned in the previous post. This card is actually a money /voucher wallet. So you could give a voucher for some special wines inside the card to make it that bit more special! When I cut the card I left an extra piece on the back panel to create flap which I folded to make a pocket inside the card.

After square cards I do like tall skinny cards. It's quite a different shape to play with in reference to the layout.

You could also use this card for someone retiring or if someone you know is moving to France. 

The stamps used come from set FRCL107 Wine Buff

Go back to Wine Buff post one to read more detail on the colouring.

Wine Buff- Two for the men!

To continue with the theme of 'Wine Buff'. This is a card I made for a workshop at Dawn Bibby's establishment. It showcases a very different colour scheme using the FRCL130 Wine Buff set.

As with the card in the previous post I have started with a pale blue base card for my stamping. I've stuck to lime green and blues for my colour scheme. So basically I've kept to the colours in the background paper for colouring in. I like the fresh, crisp look of the card. A little raffia instead of ribbon is a bit more manly!

DIY too

This is a card we made in a workshop a while back at The Craft Barn. If you don't already know I'm coming back to the barn to do workshops again!
My first one is on Saturday 27th of August. Really looking forwards to it.


I've used Clear Magic set FRCL039 Mr Fix It


The house started life has a rectangle and we cut one end into a point. We used the plank from the set for the border and roof edge. The window is made up of punched squares. The door has a doorknob made from a brad. The big tools are Quickutz dies [Lifestyle crafts]. 


It's quite a different look to my previous DIY card! but some younger men like a more modern look...
