Coffee and Card time !

Yes, another week has whizzed by and it's Coffee and Card time again!

Here is this week's design - the outline stamp I have used actually comes from a wedding set called 'Your Perfect Day'

I have teamed it with 'Petite Pairs' as the sentiments fit perfectly inside.

Thanks for popping by.

Tuesday's Coffee and Card - an old fashioned design

Every Tuesday morning I hold my Coffee and Card drop in session in Brackley. It runs for an hour and a half, and people can drop in, make a card and enjoy a cup of fresh tea or coffee.  It is a relaxed atmosphere and we usually have a good laugh.

Here is today's card, I love it's simplicity and the typewriter design is a classic image.  There are an assortment of sentiments which are small enough to feature on the piece of paper as if they had just been typed.

Hope they go down well.

Handmade flowers a big hit.

Following my previous post about our card class in Milton Keynes, I just wanted to share with you some of the floral cards that the ladies designed and made.

I showed them how to make the flowers, just from a piece of card, punched into a circle and then cut and curled to make the flower - so easy and can be done with all types of card, and patterned paper.

Happy Easter - Free Instructions Download

Well, we are well and truly into our Easter break here, as the Easter Bunny has made an appearance at Coffee and Card this week.

He was very popular and really easy to make, just using a selection of punches.

Here are some of our finished cards from Coffee and Card.

                                     This would also make a lovely New baby card too!.

In this example, I used our new Bow Builder Punch to create a litte bow tie, 

instead of the Easter message.

If you would like instructions on how to make this cute little chap - please CLICK HERE to download a PDF file.

Happy Easter to those that celebrate the occasion.

Here are the main punches used to make the bunny, click on any item for more detail:
