Hi all – if you are interested in making a Tim Holtz style wall hanging, cards that move, or having a hand deciding what to make with your unused stash or equipment, then check out our summer programme of workshops. For more details, click on the Summer Workshops link above.
We’ve unfortunately had to close our web shop – but that’s good news! It means that we have more time to share our craft creations: we’ll be showing you each month what you can make and take at our craft club, and afterwards the instructions to remind you how you made it! Please leave a comment or two so that we know that you’ve browsed… and what you’d like to see in future projects 
Neil has spent the afternoon getting the kits ready for the first of our summer workshops. Have you booked your space yet? Check out the workshops here.
Denise has created these fabulous cards ready for teaching at Craft Club this Saturday (19th May).
Just to let you know Neil has posted instructions on how to make his May tag underneath the original post here.
Here’s Neil’s tag for June: celebrating all things quintessentially British given the big Diamond Jubilee shindig. A bit of dabber resist, image transfer to canvas, spritz and flick and punching and you get this:
Neil has just finished his tag for May, featuring air dry clay Lily of the Valley flowers on a Distress Stain and pearlised background. He’ll be showing how to make this tag, and an accompanying card at the Craft Club, 21st April. More details of the Craft Club can be found here. Read on for instructions on how to make this fabulous tag. Continue reading
The astute amongst you will have noticed a flower theme to my tags so far – each month has featured the ‘birth flower’ for the month, and for April, it’s the humble daisy.
So find a size 6 manila tag, some white thin card, a napkin, a bit of gesso, orange flock and Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink – and not forgetting a bit of bling!
Apologies for the delay in posting instructions for the tags for March and April – Neil has been busy at college and demonstrating at the NEC! It turns out that doing both tags in our Craft Club session was a little ambitious, so hopefully these instructions will help the tags get finished off! Here’s what you’re making, in case you’d forgotten:
All you need is a luggage tag (size 6), Tim Holtz Terminology tissue wrap (or similar backing paper), distress ink, double sided tape, embossing powders, a steady hand and a sharp knife and a page torn from an unused book. A downloadable stencil template for the daffodils is available from Neil’s blog, perfectly4med.co.uk.
As well as Neil’s Twelve Tags for 2012 table, there will be Denise’s project – choose from one of these three cards:
Sue will be hosting another project (she’s keeping it a surprise until the day). And Kathryn will be showing you how to make this:
Hi Manic Stampers!
Neil has put the finishing touches to his tags for March and April – he’ll be teaching how to make them during March’s Craft Club on Saturday 17th March. As normal, those attending the Manic Stamper Craft Club get first go, and instructions will be posted here after that date for those that can’t make it, or can’t remember how we did it! Instructions are now available for the March tag.
