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! Comments are always welcome, as are any photos of your own results from following our tutorials.
Denise and Sue’s tables combined into one big one this month, and an absolute bargain kit was available for £7.50:
The kit contains background papers, inks, dabbers, peel offs, a stippling brush, toppers, stamps, threads, medals and so much more. Here are some of the demo cards:
And there was one stand out card, by Meggie:
Hi all 
This month for scrapbooking, Kathryn showed the group how to make either a Christmas or a pet themed paper bag book, complete with pull out tags. Just £4.00 make and take.
Since joining the Design Team at Wow! Embossing Powders, Neil has been finding new uses for all their wonderful colours and embossing glitters. Their stamps have come in handy too! Here is his tag for February, which will be on the make list for January’s Craft Club as well (he won’t be at the February Craft Club as he’ll be at the NEC for the Stitches Trade Show). Full instructions follow the photo.
Happy New Year from all at The Manic Stamper!
Neil has been busy creating ready for Craft Club sessions this year and has hit upon an idea based on Tim Holtz’s 12 tags for Christmas: Twelve Tags for 2012. Each tag will be themed to the month it’s made in, and instructions will be posted here after the Craft Club. Here are the teaser pics for January’s tag – let us know what you think
All you need is a luggage tag (size 6), white gesso, distress inks and some paper… and a bit of sandpaper, a brush, some thick card and an embossing machine. And a Cricut would be helpful too.
Here’s Neil’s November Project – more distressing and emboss resist work, this time using two colours direct to the card, and a tag thrown in too:
