43 sleeps

How many?

Yes, only 43 sleeps until Christmas.

Maybe you can use some of the gorgeous Bo Bunny paper to make  your Christmas cards. 

Guest Designer Of The Month

We have just launched a new display in the shop called

Guest Designer Of The Month

Each month Toni will invite a customer to create a series of cards using products from the shop.

November 2013

Our first Guest Designer is Sharyn.
She has used  a collection of  Bo Bunny papers called Silver and Gold along with some wording stamps from Stamp It to create this lovely collection of cards.

Seranade

This collection of cards was made from using a variety of materials including Bo Bunny Serenade papers and paper pad,  Stamp It stamps,  Jewel Flowers and Flourishes Spellbinder dies and a selection of bling.

Stamp It stamps: Every Happiness, Birthday Swirl, Little Birthday

Spellbinders Jewel Flowers and Flourishes.

Surfboard Card Classes

Our new classes will be running from this Fri for several weeks.  We will be using Distress Markers and Water Brushes along with one of the gorgeous Darkroom Door photo stamps, charms  and BoBunny 12" printed paper to recreate the Surfboards card that some of you may have already seen.  Jill has also coloured the image using a variety of different mediums so that you will be able to see how you can maximise the use of the stamp.  The classes will cost $35.00 and run for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.  At the completion of the class you will take home your completed card and a kit valued at more than $22.00 containing the stamp, charms and enough paper product to make two more cards at home.

Classes are as follows:

* Friday 16 August @ 12.00 noon and 2 pm

* Wednesday 21 August @ 9.30am, 12.00 noon and 2 pm

* Friday 23 August @ 9.30am, 12.00 noon and 2 pm

* Saturday 24 August @ 9.30am, 12.00 noon and 2 pm

The only thing you will need to bring is yourself and a roll of double sided tape.

Festive Foliage

Jill was playing around with the Tim Holtz Festive Foliage pack. The pack contains 10 metal flowers, 5 metal leaves and 5 fasteners. 

These flowers below have been decorated with a red rhinestone in the centre.

To get the red in the centre of these flowers Jill coloured the fastener (brad) with a red Spectrum Pen.

The packs of foliage are only $10.75 per pack. 

The packs of foliage, stamps and paper used on these cards are all in stock now at Crafty Capers.

Thanks

Thanks to all of the customers who came along to our October classes.

We appreciate your support.

74 sleeps until Christmas!!!!!!

Christmas is coming!!!!!!

Have you started your Christmas cards yet?

We have.

We have combined some lovely new stamps from Stamp It along with printed paper from Bo Bunny and Kaiser to make these lovely cards.

Fancy Folds

This is the class sample that we taught in September. 

The aim for this card was to design a Xmas card that looks great but is easy to create.

We used 3 new stamps from the Stamp It Twinkle Christmas release along with new paper from the Bo Bunny Mistletoe collection.

Below is a card made by Shirley (one of our very clever customers). After coming along to the class she went home and made this great card using the card base and layout from class.

 The stamp is another great image from Stamp It and has been coloured in with Spectrum pens. She has also used the Diamond Plate embossing folder, Spellbinder label die # 11 and white rub ons on the card.

The two cards below feature the stamp set that was the free gift from the August issue of the Do Crafts magazine.  The first card uses the layout from class. The image was coloured with Spectrum pens. The second image below was coloured with Tombow pens. 

Thanks Shirley for sharing.
