I spent a lovely couple of hours today teaching a Shrink plastic card making class to a disabled lady and her carer. We made the card shown above using Tim Holz Distress inks for the background, and Staz On and Shrink Plastic for the tag. Both background and tag use the same large blossom stamp. Lovely as the two hours were it made me realise how difficult life can be for people that have a disability affecting the movement of their limbs. We did however create a great card proving that with a little determination you can do anything you put your mind to.

There are many things happening in The Crafting Shed this week including some new stock arrivals from Craftwork Cards, Fridays Scrappers Club, Children's Club and the Saturday Crafters to mention but a few. It's all busy busy busy.

Hi all

As promised here are the photos of the cards made with the High Kelling ladies last week.

Unfortunately I haven't made a single card this week. I have so far spent every day uploading all the new products to the website and doing a stock take at the shop. Its been a very uncreative week but Friday and Saturday are both club days so hopefully I will have time to create by the end of the week.

Check out all the new stock at www.thecraftingshed.co.uk

New Year New Blog !

Hope you have all recovered from Christmas. It's been a busy week for us at The Crafting Shed with the arrival of new stock and new samples to be made. I also spent a lovely afternoon with a club in High Kelling teaching pop up and Tri-fold cards. I will post the photos of these tomorrow night for you all to see. The website you may have noticed has undergone major changes over the Last fortnight, the new design is very different from the old look and we are all very pleased with it. New class lists are available online and the how to guides should be ready soon. It has taken the whole team many hours of work so please check it out at www.thecraftingshed.co.uk and let us know what you think.

The shop has also undergone some changes over the Christmas break, the workshop area especially which has a fresh coat of paint and some new bunting and box framed scrapbook layouts.


I have had lots of fun playing with the new stock and thought I would share with you a layout I have made using the magenta papers that have arrived in store.


Card Making wise we have been playing with the Sugar Nellies which we retail from our bricks and mortar store.

This stamp has been coloured using Promarkers and is mounted on Magenta papers.




I must apologise for the pictures! I'm sorry to say photography is not my strong point.
