The BIG Apple..

The BIG Apple..

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Just watching Deb Wheeler on Create & Craft. Great to see her informative demos, and fun to see her with our mate Dean! I decided to look back at a NEW YORK blog or 2, to remember the BIG APPLE, and its draw. It certainly is like a magnet for many, including myself. And certainly our Grace. She’s home here in England at the moment, but she do love the New New Amsterdam. Has…

Stencil play on a Gelli Plate

Stencil play on a Gelli Plate

Hi. Thanks for popping in. If you watched Create & Craft last Sunday, you’ll have seen me use not one, but TWO large Gelpress plates! This was to move through a monoprinting printing process quickly. If you use two plates, you can bounce between colours, transferring colours back and forth as you pull prints, getting loads of blends and lovely ghost prints. If you’re only working with one plate, you have to keep cleaning it, and the colours muddy, and…

There’s so much scope, it’s insane., And my guess is, the…

Sunday – and a little Therapy.

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Was tidying away all the prep boxes from Friday’s TV show earlier, and came across the Dandelion card I had cut out, that was on offer in the Super Saver. CLICK HERE I LOVE this design. Many of you may already have it because it was a previous Fresh Cut Die Club Die. A really, really superb one, illustrated by our friend Mel Turner. Anyway, I went off at a tangent, and decided to…

A Half & Half Card…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Decided to make a card, using one of our best Fresh Cut dies – The Floral Flourish. It’s a large die, but a super delicate design.
