Demonstration Double Dilemma

Good Morning Crafters,
What a day!
If you have read yesterdays post about my Demonstration Dilemma, well it’s not been resolved!
We were soooo busy with the 80% off Sale that it got to two o’clock before we drew breath.
It was lovely to see you all, there were some amazing bargains to be snapped up.
We also had a Molly Blooms workshop. As ever, the pieces made were an inspiration.

Everyone enjoyed the Molly Blooms Workshop

and made such pretty samples,

So I never got chance to sit down and demonstrate!
My demonstration Dilemma has not been resolved, but now it is not only:-
WHAT will I demonstrate?
but WHEN will I demonstrate?
Don’t miss the next thrilling instalment of Demonstration Double Dilemma!
As ever, you can ring us on 01282833091 or visit http://www.craftrange.com

Demonstration Dilemma!

Good Morning Crafters,
I am in an enviable dilemma, every Saturday Liz and I take it in turns to do demonstrations at Craftrange.
We have the freedom to pick what we would like to demonstrate and it is my turn today.
Here is my dilemma, I had originally thought of die cutting shapes out of thick card,I would use the ebosser machine, it is lovely to use and ours is at a very competitive price at the moment. Next I could decorate them with embossing powders, (I may have to use the gorgeous Frantage kits again!) and then coating them with something to seal and make them glossy (I was thinking of using Glossy Accents). Mmmmm endless possibilities I would enjoy that.
BUT
I went into the warehouse of Michael Toms Stationers (our parent company) to find some paper balls for a customer, I have known about them for years but only today did I notice that they had holes through them. They aren’t balls they are BEADS! So, I am thinking, whatever you can do on a flat piece of paper you can do on a paper bead. The lovely colours of Alcohol Inks to give colour and embossing powders for texture.
Oh the possibilities are endless but the working day too short to do both, bearing in mind we also have a full day Molly Blooms Workshop and an 80% off sale, I have to decide What I am going to do?
What would YOU do?
Will I have time to do both?
Call in to see what I have decided.
Don’t miss the next thrilling instalment of DEMONSTRATION DILEMMA!
Don’t forget, if you have any queries, give us a ring on 01282 833091

Friendly Plastic Workshop

Such lovely colours and Textures

Fantastic to use on cards or Jewellery

Good Morning Crafters,
Last Wednesday we held our second Friendly Plastic Workshop, we all had a wonderful time. Some of the ladies were from a papercraft background and some from jewellery, they bounced ideas off each other and produced some awesome pieces.
They used both the melt pot and heat gun to soften the plastic and for the jewellers among us, we used the Cropadile to make holes for the bails to be attached to hang as pendants.
I am sure that you will agree that they produced some beautiful items.

Friendly Plastic

Good Evening
Below is a blog post that Gillian wrote for you all, for some reason it did not post!!! Gremlins in blog land perhaps.
Anyway I have posted it all for you to take a look at because I know that Gillian will be updating you with how her Workshop went this afternoon. I did manage a sneaky peak at what everyone had created and it was all rather interesting.
Back Soon

ladies enjoying our last Friendly Plastic Workshop

after only one workshop!

what lovely effects!

Good Morning Crafters,
I have been busy preparing for our Friendly Plastic Workshop this afternoon. This is the second beginners workshop we have held, just look what our novices produced!
We used all sorts of papercrafting goodies to enhance the friendly plastic such as stickles, rubber stamps, sequin waste, fusible fibres and peeloffs. We heated the friendly plastic with both the heat gun and the melting pot.I hope we have as much fun this afternoon as we did last time.
Watch this space……..
