Crafty Friday

26/2/2012

0 Comments

 
Last Friday was the first 'Craft Evening' of 2012 round at Steph's. We have a simple tried and tested formula that involves covering the kitchen table (and work surfaces) with more crafting stash than you think would be possible - and consuming our body weight in chocolate (well those of us with no self control do!)

Steph had been watching some demos from a new stamp company called IndigoBlu who produce 'quintessentially English rubber stamps' and gave us a demonstration on how to use a new product 'FlitterGlu'. You basically stamp an image using the glue and then you can rub gilding flakes over the image and voila - something spectacular appears!  It gave me lots of ideas about how I could incorporate this technique into my mixed media work so no guesses where I'm navigating over to once I have finsihed this post.

If you want to take a look yourself visit: http://www.indigoblu.com/

Tamsin showed us how to make rosette brooch out of pretty pink ribbon (as shown on her website) and Karen demonstrated her new super dooper die cutting machine. Steph then brought out her Christmas present - a Cricut machine (electronic die cutting machine) and we had fun watching how it works - a very clever bit of crafting kit.

I spent the evening mocking up some more cards ready for the Make and Take next Saturday so great fun was had by all.

    My name's Jacqueline and I invite you to join me on my adventure in mixed media 'arting and crafting'.

    I craft from my kitchen table at my home in Marlow-on-Thames in Buckinghamshire in England and want to use this blog to share my latest ideas and work.

    If something you have seen inspires you to have a go please do share the result with me.
