Karen has Just discovered Cottage Crafts in Crannford Gorey yesterday, how come we never heard about them, Well Karen loved the shop, saying there was a lovely selection of card making goodies, with new stock arriving every other week, Marina and Karl made them very welcome with tea offered to them the minuet they entered the door. Shirley Chillman was teaching a class upstairs, which they run weekly, more details on their website, http://cottagecrafts.ie/shop/ 
well worth a visit.
We hope to have Marina to the Club later in the year, as March we have Krafty hands and April we're all off to the Kings Hall in Belfast for the creative knit and stitch show.

This is a Twisted Easel Card in all white,
which I found a turorial for on You-tube
I have used my Cricut to make the die-cuts for the easel rest and main topper, I used a polka dot Sq Embossing folder from crafts too. I got the silver hearts at a craft stand at the NEC
(sorry can't remember which one)


Photobucket
This Card is made using 5 panels, over lapping each layer. there is a satin ribbon across the middle panel, with a embroidered anglaise trim overlapping the ribbon. some beautiful roses where added from Wild Orchid Crafts uk.




Photobucket
This card has a love quote, as the main topper with some punched detail panels underneath, and is finished with some tiny mulberry paper flowers.


Photobucket
This Card folds under the heart to close, and was finished inside with a pocket to hold cash or a gift voucher.

This is a Concertina card in Brown and blues, I saw a similar design on Amazing Paper Grace, but Becca had much nicer bits, so we did the best job with what was to hand, the front panel die-cut shapes are from my Cricut, which is only new, but which  had a lot of fun trying to get it to work,


Photobucket
C5 Panel card in Blue Navy and white, with ribbon and lace detail, the topper was cut on the cricut,


Photobucket
This Card is all white, although it looks cream in the picture.
I cut a A5 piece of card and punched it on the 2 long edges, I stuck some wide ribbon around the main panel, the 2 bottom panels are embossed with a cuttle bug swirl design embossing folder and the 3 top panels have been embossed with a polka dot Crafts Too folder, the center panel is again off the cricut, and was embossed with the swirl folder, and I made a little greeting plate and mounted it on silver, used pearls peel-offs and a ribbon to finish it off. I think this was one of Cards by America Designs which stuck in my head.

This Rose card is a Clip art image and the frame and shadow frame are from the cricut, we used a pale pink ink pad to soften the white frame, added some pearls a pink organza bow a lovely heart, ( which was a necklace from Penny's) The main panel has a wide pink ribbon with a lace overlay, and finished with a bow
