I think my favourite card class is the Christmas one. Here’s the cards for my latest class, using a mix of mostly Sizzix dies, stamps and embossing folders, some from this year and some a little older.

Bromsgrove Card Making Class 22 June
I’m looking forward to my next class this Saturday, and we’ve got a nice mix of cards using some different techniques, die-cutting and stamping so a chance to practice our colouring!
We also have a nice mix of different brands – Sizzix, Tracey Hey and Paper Create.
I’ve snuck in one Christmassy card! I’ve just started on all the Christmas projects for TV, so over the coming months we’ll probably have a few more each month, then we usually go full on Christmas in September!
If you want details about the class, the drop me an email on backdated@hotmail.com
Next Card making class in Bromsgrove

Here’s a sneak peek of what we’ll be up to…..
My next card making class – 20 January in Bromsgrove
I’ve spent today putting together the cards for my next monthly class at Avoncroft Arts Society in Bromsgrove next weekend.
To cheer us all up after the Christmas break, I decided to go with some cheerful florals, and cards that would work for all occasions.
If you’d like information about my regular classes, just drop me an email – backdated@hotmail.com.
Next Card Making Class at Avoncroft Art Society Bromsgrove – 28 October
My next class is coming up soon, and it’s a mix of both Christmas cards and some general occasion cards. I know everyone will love this little Christmas pudding as his legs swing side to side which is fun.
I do still have a couple of places left, so if you’d like more info just email me on backdated@hotmail.com
Spellbinders Christmas cards
I have a few cards to share with the latest release from Spellbinders. It’s a lovely mix of elegant and fun!
This first card is very elegant, the Evergreen embossing folder makes a rich background, then I’ve added some of the Christmas Sprigs in gold, green and red.
Another elegant card, but this time with a cooler colour scheme. I used the Notched Corner Florals embossing folder and added a simple sentiment.
Now for fun! This cute little figgy pudding is really fun, the legs swing, which makes a lovely interactive card. The background is the Monoline Stars embossing folder, and I added just a little gold luster wax here and then to highlight it.
You can find all the product details below! Thanks for popping by.

Spellbinders Dancin’ Day of the Dead Boy
I absolutely adore this new Halloween/Day of the Dead set from Spellbinders (there are other characters in the collection too).
What’s really cool is that the legs move from side to side – there’s a little circle cut out at the top of the die cut so you just add a foam pad in the centre and it allows the legs to swing.
