Hi everyone, Wow only 2 days to go till the new catalogue goes live. Are you excited? There are fabulous new products designed to appeal to everyone - young and old, experienced crafters and newbies, card makers and scrapbookers.

Today I'm going to give you a bit of a preview of the new In-Colours. These colours will only be around for 2 years and we will be using them in the next class. This class will be held on Wednesday 9th July, 7.00-9.30pm in West Bridgford.

This is what we'll be making - 5 cards and a lovely box to keep them in:

The new colours (from left to right) are: Mossy Meadow, Tangelo Twist, Lost Lagoon, Blackberry Bliss and Hello Honey. I made my box using the Envelope Punch Board and Hello Honey. Please note that your box may be a different colour.

We will also be using my favourite Petite Petals stamp set, the Petite Petals Punch and the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set.

The cost of the class is £12 as usual and if you fancy a play with the new colours, why not contact me to book your place. You can contact me on 07970 708348 or mapleleafstampin@yahoo.co.uk.

I will be back soon to show you these cards in a bit more detail and don't forget to check back soon July 1st so you can see the new catalogue on line. xx

Playing in the Sea - Wetlands

Hi everyone, I've realised that I haven't shown you the Wetlands cards in detail. So I'll show you them over the next few posts. This was the biggest card we made. It's actually A5 sized:

The card base is Marina Mist, with layers of Soft Sky and Soft Suede. To create the background I tore some paper to mask the top and bottom, and used the sponge daubers to sponge the sky and sand. The Wetlands stamp set comes with some great greetings and I stamped the birds, reeds and greeting in Early Espresso. Here's a close up:

I hope you like this card. Check back for the others soon. If you would like to buy any of these products please click on the link in the sidebar on the right of my blog. x
