A new stamping era began yesterday when Vicky Stampers relocated to Padgate and I had the honour of being the first tutor in the new premises. The emphasis of the club remains the same with stamping being the main theme of our workshops and we all enjoyed a great day. It was sad in many ways to move but it means that we now have no stairs to struggle up when carrying equipment, we have a kitchen where we can make our own tea and coffee exactly to taste, better lighting and generally better facilities, all at reasonable cost. The group of people are still as great, and we enjoy good crafting and lots of fun once a month, so if anyone within reach of Padgate, near Warrington, would like to join us then email me for details. We've space now for a few more dedicated stampers.
At Jayne's request, my project was my Heart to Heart Card and you can see my sample open above and with the 4 hearts interlocked below. It is a simple card which just looks somewhat complex.
It's a great way to get good use from your die cutter and I left my Cuttlebug in the drawer in favour of my new Vagabond... I love it! I used Nestabilities to cut the 2 sizes of hearts.

First we got messy and marbled our backgrounds to use on the card with a choice of using Smooches (as I posted on 24th April) or with Shaving foam (as I posted 1st April).
There were lots of great results from the group....
Lovely bit of marbling by Neet inside this one
A card open... I think it is by Lorraine
I forgot my camera so the following photos were emailed to me ... thanks to Neet, but sorry I can't make them any bigger and so sorry that cannot see to credit the people who made them.
Everyone completed their card so we moved on to make some heart shaped packages in the afternoon.
These packages can also be made quite quickly from Scrap book papers (as I did with the large brown one below). The blue and pink ones were made from card decorated and stamped using Distress Inks.
Once again, these are quite simple to make so if anyone would like the template for the packages, or any information of the items I've made, just email me and I'll send a pdf to you.

I need that kind of space all to myself, I shared my room this weekend and it nearly drove me mad...
I'm okay in class where it's all structured but I can't create originals in company - how odd is that???
Jo as always a brill class, such fun. thank you for your generosity of spirit. hugs xxxx
Hi Jo, I love the heart to heart project, they're all wonderful, love the colour you used :-) All the other heart concoctions are fab too. I thought the large heart was fabric/canvas at first.

It was a great day and I am so glad my year as Chair will be remembered for the move to what will, hopefully, prove to be a better one for the older members. I will miss Dot though as I always had a soft spot for her and will definitely remember her at Christmas with a card and hopefully pop in for a drink some time.
As I said, one chapter of Vicky Stampers has closed and now we have a new one opening.
What makes us unique is the fun and friendship we all share and it is a pleasure to go on the first Saturday of the month to learn with such talented and caring friends.
It looks and sounds like a great day, Jo. I love your heart cards and boxes. It sounds like a great class and I wish I lived nearer!!
Thank you so much for you kind wishes for DD.

I first found your work on Pinterest this afternoon, and have now landed on your blog at a page from 2011 where you have featured your adorable heart card, then the heart box/bag? Are you still sending out pdfs for these projects? If so, I'd love to have them! I'm looking forward to going through your Pinterest pages and blog pages to find more wonderful goodies!
