<br />

<br />
The photo is of the double twist but we will be starting with the normal easel as we have a couple of fairly new card makers with us. This is a great card to fancy up or just leave simple, it is also a great one for Christmas cards if you haven't got them all finished yet.<br />
<br />
As normal I will bring the basic card stock but if you would like to bring something to decorate the card with please do.<br />
<br />
thanks,<br />

It is called a centre step card. I should have the card done for Monday.<br />
<br />

<br />
For those of you who have managed to download and install Dropbox you will be able to see all the instruction in there. Also those of you who would like help with a blog can you be thinking of a name for it so I don't put you on the spot, you will also need a gmail account.<br />
<br />
See you Monday<br />
<br />
I will also bring the card I have done for the Monday challenge blog I told you about.<br />
<br />
thanks,<br />

It has been set up by Jacqueline from <a href="http://deezinesart.blogspot.com/">deezines art</a>, a blog I follow all the time. All you will have to do is follow the design, choose your own colours and stamps and away you go, then post a photo of your card on to your blog. But I don't have a blog I can hear most of you crying, so WHY NOT? most of you are good enough to put your work out there for others to see and comment on. How will you know how good you are getting if you do not have a record of where you have come from.<br />
<br />
Jacqueline has just started to design her own stamps but also uses a lot of Stamping Up and other brands on her cards, if you have a look back at some of the older posts I think you will recognise some of the stamps. She is also the person who gave us the Easel card box design we did in the new year.<br />
<br />
I hope you will all at least go and have a look at this new site and have a go at the first card she has there even if you don't go for the design team.<br />
<br />
I will be bringing my computer with me on Monday so if any of you would like me to help them set up there own blog I will show you how.<br />
<br />
This weeks card will be here in a day or so.<br />
<br />
thanks,<br />

The card we will be doing is a side step card. I was planning on doing the handbag iris fold that goes with this card so this will be a practice run for next week when I will have all the copying done and everything ready.....<br />

</div>This week we are doing a very nice Bow front card. The name comes from the shape of the card not from the fact it has a bow on the front! It is made from an A4 piece of card folded into a gate fold, then decorated. With this card you can put in quite thick embellishments as the card does not sit flat but bow's out and is held in place with acetate. I hope you can see what I mean in the photo.<br />
<br />
I am sorry about the photo, but I had to take it with my phone as my computer has just died.<br />
<br />
See you on Monday<br />
<br />
thanks,<br />

<br />
This week we will be visiting an old favourite, the easel card but this one has a twist.......<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFYw5kw-OotsgEHXlDW0PuUrsc56voHniLl-5u2JAAoxVTM8kQC-RGAbY6gIPKJgePWTNgwOilXCnYz3I3k6CKhZ18GYFjlVfEeKjJw3pmAPjzx-TW6ryOFqxhWcOfAoIt5cTV7C4SIVPU/s1600/Double+twist+easel.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="206" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFYw5kw-OotsgEHXlDW0PuUrsc56voHniLl-5u2JAAoxVTM8kQC-RGAbY6gIPKJgePWTNgwOilXCnYz3I3k6CKhZ18GYFjlVfEeKjJw3pmAPjzx-TW6ryOFqxhWcOfAoIt5cTV7C4SIVPU/s320/Double+twist+easel.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
and its a double as well.<br />
<br />
As with all easel cards it looks a lot harder than it is, but it is only a square of 8x8in card folded and one half cut at 4in. The hardest part is getting the topper lined up straight.<br />
So for this week bring any card you would like for the toppers. but do remember I have some from the UK you can use if you are stuck. I made my sample black and white but this looks good in any colour.<br />
<br />
Any questions give me a shout.<br />
<br />
See you Monday.<br />
<br />

<br />

I made three cards in about an hour just using the stamps and some odd bits I had around.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNJ_St6dl7FpgKL1Jt8feXvXMZpX8ruhXgOUJXsppavux7HkDHVL6UUjCRHWfKcuAPx5TrP0UpFWnHugxPICgzEewJDvfNhAWrOH8nPUepaY2Kftxo-DL9ci5WNUcD4lEKOQ6QlcfZgIDH/s1600/Owl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNJ_St6dl7FpgKL1Jt8feXvXMZpX8ruhXgOUJXsppavux7HkDHVL6UUjCRHWfKcuAPx5TrP0UpFWnHugxPICgzEewJDvfNhAWrOH8nPUepaY2Kftxo-DL9ci5WNUcD4lEKOQ6QlcfZgIDH/s320/Owl.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>This first one I stamped and embossed the owl stamp three times then cut them out and mounted them with foam pads onto the card. I had added a strip of green card cut with the big shot and stamped the sentiment which I had also embossed.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiQ7ezraRXb1U3lQvuaDHjNZZEwer4J6TlITZBqKoI00CfiTPXGlj3tgrKWubyFUWLgPpOeLtIt-c-AWZ127ZQmqIy5t5Xdyey97vAD_eHN-3iaO-hyZyIQ-ngBXcagUlV1yMi4z9DFGA_/s1600/Bliss.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="234" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiQ7ezraRXb1U3lQvuaDHjNZZEwer4J6TlITZBqKoI00CfiTPXGlj3tgrKWubyFUWLgPpOeLtIt-c-AWZ127ZQmqIy5t5Xdyey97vAD_eHN-3iaO-hyZyIQ-ngBXcagUlV1yMi4z9DFGA_/s320/Bliss.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
The second one is also embossed in the centre and on the tag at the edge. The background is just the middle stamp stamped around the edge.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrNeUDFsyvGH3xFGZbeIwWF6ApAjGyHjP1CHEHX17W7x_n1amtWAjFs8E9Yo3zi8FzWOJhUvnyLbFpKG7HVMQA6wdWrI-XRFO7fnWi8vlLZJeKGM7H4mzBG4nVTt9hiKmgiZY2pOkTWNY2/s1600/Circle.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="278" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrNeUDFsyvGH3xFGZbeIwWF6ApAjGyHjP1CHEHX17W7x_n1amtWAjFs8E9Yo3zi8FzWOJhUvnyLbFpKG7HVMQA6wdWrI-XRFO7fnWi8vlLZJeKGM7H4mzBG4nVTt9hiKmgiZY2pOkTWNY2/s320/Circle.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
This one is just plain stamping. I cut a mask circle out of a post it note and stuck to the card, then stamped all around it with the flower stamp, I them went around the edge with the same stamp. The centre is just stamped and cut out with the same circle punch. I could of cut this with the scallop die but I don't have them at the moment.<br />
<br />
Hope you like the stamps as much as I do, and a BIG thanks to Jackie for getting and sending them to us.<br />

But I am all well again this week and here is your sample for this class.<br />
<br />

I know a few of you have done this one before, but I don't have a lot of patterned papers so I am using what I have got. And we also have some new starters that have never done Iris folding before and this is a nice easy one that looks good. The pattern at the bottom is our new punch that came this week, I am still waiting for the rest of the parcels but I am sure they will be here by next week. If you have any colours you would like to do this in do please bring them.<br />
<br />
See you Monday.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

You will need to bring enough matching paper for 4 cards if you want to keep them all the same. Other than that I will bring the card, paper, stamps etc. At this point I would normally show you a photo of the one I have done.....but the nice black cat that you all love decided to come in and get warm after getting caught in the rain, yes you've got it he thought sitting on top of the folder would be the best place to get dry! It would not of been too bad except I had coloured in the front with watercolour pencils that have now run. So you can see it on Monday but it is in no state to be shown on here.<br />
But I do have a photo for you from Ann in the UK. You remember the frame I did the other day to show that you could use stamping anywhere? well Ann copied the design and made a great card .<br />
<br />

I think she has done extremely well as she hasn't seen the original in real life.<br />
<br />
See you soon.<br />

So please bring any stamps, ink pads or any thing to do with stamping and we try and sort out any problems you might have. Just leave you with something I did this week with a new stamp I got in UK.<br />

<br />
This week we are doing these very nice boxes from <a href="http://www.artyfartydesign.co.uk/Home_Page.php">Arty Farty Designs Ltd</a>. Do go and have a look at there web site as they have some great designs.<br />
<br />
So for these you will need something to decorate the box's with, you can make these for any occasion and I know a couple of you have got weddings coming up. If you have any of the yellow card we used before Christmas that would do to make them with, or any patterned heavy weight papers will do. As normal you will be getting all the templates to use and I will bring a selection of paper/card for you to use.<br />
<br />
Hope to see you there.<br />
<br />

We did talk about doing an all day class this week. Doing something in the morning then having lunch at the bookshop then doing something else in the afternoon. I know a few of you wanted to do this so if you can please let me know who will be staying for lunch it will help with the catering. If you don't want to do all day you can come just for the morning or afternoon I don't mind, just let me know which one you would prefer to do.<br />
<br />
I will be doing some very nice boxes in the morning session, the photos are from Jacqueline Dee who has very kindly allowed us to use her template. You will find a lot more of her great designs on her blog<a href="http://deezinesart.blogspot.com/"> HERE</a>.<br />
<br />

</div>The red card was made using the new paper we had brought from the UK, and the white card was made using recycled cards. The white one is not finished yet but I do not have a stamp or peel-offs that will go.<br />
<br />
You can get two cards from each A4 sheet.<br />

I just made this one up quickly and didn't read the instructions properly! The cord I used is to thick and the paper covering the front is to thin, so didn't do to bad there did I.<br />
<br />
If you have any round stamps or punches can you please bring them, Jack can you bring the dies and folders please.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirzRhxZkHt-qh8zfwzZ0lrRbE2gXy-BP8J_n5Xb5a5hLQaMEEnbYKica4Sl0BI47hZz1QrVYvYAHOARkEIKoWOtFiHTQ4tDNJDDkcSMPtEexGIHAqh3lMYZ6r8s87XTtHHaiGj_SeQUGk2/s1600/Cracker+card+christmas.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="237" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirzRhxZkHt-qh8zfwzZ0lrRbE2gXy-BP8J_n5Xb5a5hLQaMEEnbYKica4Sl0BI47hZz1QrVYvYAHOARkEIKoWOtFiHTQ4tDNJDDkcSMPtEexGIHAqh3lMYZ6r8s87XTtHHaiGj_SeQUGk2/s320/Cracker+card+christmas.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>This first card I used some fantastic new paper that Ann brought us from UK it is from a company called Craftwork cards, I have put a link to them in the side bar. The sentiment is from a new embossing folder for the Big Shot that has six different sentiments on it, I just used some silver mirror card and cut out the one I wanted.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0PU1kKjR4c1k2i-B2zxA36qlH7tNdS9UoRjRnyRO5FaunMdcV2Vdm0wjzPxDyhdzcBcfwhA6BAWLI-goqU66o9ouCcZklkBcnRV5FNZyGX5kNz57KBDfKHmCtpQOjIfXyy6yLPR62QEWc/s1600/Cracker+card+snowmen.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="199" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0PU1kKjR4c1k2i-B2zxA36qlH7tNdS9UoRjRnyRO5FaunMdcV2Vdm0wjzPxDyhdzcBcfwhA6BAWLI-goqU66o9ouCcZklkBcnRV5FNZyGX5kNz57KBDfKHmCtpQOjIfXyy6yLPR62QEWc/s320/Cracker+card+snowmen.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>On this next card I used another new embossing folder that we have just got, this one has snowmen on it and would make a nice card on its own, I just cut a section out of the middle. I used a card that had a white core of I could sand to get the soft effect. I also used some Card Candy on the sides, I am not to sure if I have stuck them on right or not but it was the only way I could get them to stay.<br />
<br />
Hope you like them<br />
see you all on Monday<br />

</div>It was hard to get a decent photo of the card open but hopefully this will give you an idea.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyqzCj27U9Ig2EZuLutn_gywdNU_9VSLcN48TMC0bq4FVCaAB6DjOJZYX_lWzfZDdXVN2_j3lRn7VCDlp78mkOWj0yr7UAkDIFraHck0WyXhOIbdt0ckM9fRXkqWONWbCw3DVCwPXunHNm/s1600/Trianglr+trifold+open.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyqzCj27U9Ig2EZuLutn_gywdNU_9VSLcN48TMC0bq4FVCaAB6DjOJZYX_lWzfZDdXVN2_j3lRn7VCDlp78mkOWj0yr7UAkDIFraHck0WyXhOIbdt0ckM9fRXkqWONWbCw3DVCwPXunHNm/s320/Trianglr+trifold+open.jpg" width="319" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrdhQTJvYmUbzdZiARjWjXCMZ9Z2RqoZyF8PCoI-PI0MDSsMZWIn0fCXDv6bTUCm75aCJZZ7czFDtG8PSJWzXm0naPI0kQoM9OEIiYradQ0UClq6MVHrPqufgkEU95odJLrP1j20kQvb0w/s1600/Spring+card.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrdhQTJvYmUbzdZiARjWjXCMZ9Z2RqoZyF8PCoI-PI0MDSsMZWIn0fCXDv6bTUCm75aCJZZ7czFDtG8PSJWzXm0naPI0kQoM9OEIiYradQ0UClq6MVHrPqufgkEU95odJLrP1j20kQvb0w/s320/Spring+card.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>The instructions say to make it from double sided patterned paper, but I am not sure. I will try and get another one made so you can see the difference. The whole card is made from one piece of ten and a half by five and a quarter inch card and goes into a five and a half inch square envelope. I will bring a selection of double sided card with me as well as the normal bits so you could try both.<br />
<br />
Second card added.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpr09UvD78OfV7e24Ft4SiueDaeDML46tLMafaAqueKXLxtLXrnxEImwSGYNk9Nq7Uq9PjlpMjGrFJFW-GP9c61g3snYAqDM9UhAhGPWdf6fjr4TOblT03Ro62CiCTEvs223O8MsmWghQN/s1600/Spring+card+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpr09UvD78OfV7e24Ft4SiueDaeDML46tLMafaAqueKXLxtLXrnxEImwSGYNk9Nq7Uq9PjlpMjGrFJFW-GP9c61g3snYAqDM9UhAhGPWdf6fjr4TOblT03Ro62CiCTEvs223O8MsmWghQN/s320/Spring+card+2.jpg" /></a></div><br />
I think I like this one the best of them both.<br />
<br />
See you on Monday,<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTEr4wUOTdkS0M1i7JNAZysQjLtIpyFEj20X2qbIkm2ALu5KKStO3FW8m6CvO1CQTLwA8VFfEGWOAdykJC_Kf9VfzvK6eMF63uvGJ62myopPXemd86HTU1a_qbhBa_pOMRXWc-dz7QsdJK/s1600/Free+standing+Pop+up+card.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTEr4wUOTdkS0M1i7JNAZysQjLtIpyFEj20X2qbIkm2ALu5KKStO3FW8m6CvO1CQTLwA8VFfEGWOAdykJC_Kf9VfzvK6eMF63uvGJ62myopPXemd86HTU1a_qbhBa_pOMRXWc-dz7QsdJK/s320/Free+standing+Pop+up+card.jpg" /></a></div><br />
As you can see this card stands by itself. The front and back are the same on this sample but if you would like you can do just one side or change the theme.<br />
<br />
I will bring the usual things, if there is anything extra you would like me to bring please let me know. All you need is something to decorate, paper, ribbons, stamps ect.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
