Christmas Cards

Busy month making different types of cards using an assortment of mediums.

Button Baubles

Christmas Trees

Gingerbread Houses

In January we will be revisiting some of our previous makes including zentangle, iris folding and stain glass cards.

In October we cut out and made up felt Christmas wine bottle waistcoats. The project was lead by Barbara Durrant.

In September we made Halloween cards lead by Kath

This month Marion showed us Zentangle. It is an easy to learn, relaxing method for creating beautiful images. We started by practicing patterns on some small pieces of card (tiles) before we transferred the process to a card.

We all enjoyed this month's activity, it was stain glass window cards with Carole. The finished cards were very impressive.

The papercraft group had another successful session making felt hanging birds

April 25

The Papercraft, Knit and Natter Group met for the first time in March. Using the Iris paperfolding method. Thin strips of paper are folded in half and placed on a template to form a pattern. They used these then to make their cards.

The knit and natter members were knitting teddies for the Buddy Bags

Everyone had a great first session, taking home the templates to make more cards at home
