Craft Club Challenge - w/c 2nd June 2014

Oh my...June already! Doesn't time fly when you are having fun! Another wedding event enjoyed on Friday and looking forward to the next event on 9th June.

Our theme for this week is "Time for Tea" and all the goodies that relates to...such as cupcakes, celebration cakes, Tea cups and all things an afternoon tea would offer.  You can create whatever you fancy, a card, a scrapbook page, a fabric cupcake, cupcake accents to go on cushions, tea towels etc....think tea, coffee and cakes.

I will be demonstrating a gate fold card with a variety of themed stamps (with a lovely new corner border and plaque stamp set and stencils but I will also be getting out a fab Sizzix tea cup die which can of course be cut from card or fabric such as felt of stiffened fabric and made into a lovely 3D accent for your home.

The photo below is a sample from a previous demo some years ago but it give you an idea of what can be achieved....and I will add more photos as we progress through the week.

 You will need to decide what you want to achieve and bring the materials with you....if you are doing a card, especially the gate fold you will need an A4 piece of card for your base and a selection of coloured card/paper either plain or printed and perhaps white or cream card for a topper background.  If you want to do other projects you must bring with you what you need.

I will have lots of ideas from magazines and books which I am just checking through now and will up date here if I find something stunning that you need special materials for. This is also a good time to check back at the techniques previously tackled and use those techniques using the cupcake theme.

See you in the week.
