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.

My Next Creative Card Making Class is Wednesday the 24th of March

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)



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.





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.



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