Safmat Card

Now I don't want you all to panic, I know, know it's a Christmas Card. But I designed the snowflake backing and loved it, I also printed it onto the Safmat along with the sentiment and I have to say that I love this stuff, it gives such a professional finish to card making and even gives a glaze to your work.

I added some iridescent pearls to the centers of the snowflake, made a bauble from the sentiment and added a ribbon and tradaaa my card was done.

Here's Looking at you Kid!

You may remember me asking for Captions for the photo of Jack with his hat on, well there was a reason for this as you will see from the image below, I decided it was high time I did a scrapbook page to add to the album, I used a product called Safmat by Letraset for all of the wording, you simply type what you want on the computer ie word or editing program then you print it out onto the Safmat and then cut it out, remove the backing paper and you have created your own rub on, brilliant

The possibilities of Safmat are endless, from scrap booking to card making.

Below is an image of the new packaging for Safmat click on the image to buy it, it's amazing stuff.

Tomorrow I will show you a card I made using the left over piece on the Safmat sheet.

Rico Design - Can Can Scarf

Well it isn't very often that I post an image of myself but I was so proud that I made a frilly scarf I just had to show you all.

My friend Lorraine Robinson is totally to blame for setting me off scarf making, when Lorraine said how easy it was I just had to find out for myself .

So no card today but hey just look at my fabulous Scarf, I have started another one too, in burnt orange shades, If you want to know how easy they are to make hop over to Lorraine's blog as she has a tutorial on there.

Pictures from the Pins and Needles show

As I told you earlier we are at the Metro Arena with the Pins and needles Craft Show and there is so much to see there, not only paper crafts but all different types of crafts that is sure to inspire you.

Now I'm back there on Saturday but don't worry if you need a demo tomorrow I've been training up the guys to stand in for me, below is a picture of Craig showing his stuff to the passing ladies ha ha!

Ooh I love this display that I found whilst browsing.

This was another clever sew'n'sew that I found at the show.

I met a very talented lady named Joan Cutts, her work is amazing, I haven't a website for her but if you want something very special her prices are very reasonable, you can contact Joan at joancutts@aol.com

Now how about finishing off the experience with a bit of indulgence
