Welcome to my Wednesday Workshop series.
I have challenged myself to make a project for each letter of the alphabet and this is starting to be a fun workshop!
B is for a Bay window card made with the scenic coast bundle and matching DSP. (Check the beginning of the YouTube video for the measurements I used)
The Tile Garden square dies are a new release in the September catalogue available on September 1st. As a current demonstrator I was able to order early and so have access to them already!

I hope you have fun watching and crafting through the alphabet with me. Check the comments for the YouTube link .

Hello and welcome to my new Wednesday Workshop - a series of projects using the letters of the alphabet.
Today for my first project I chose -
A is for an Accordion fold card.

I used the lovey Violet Dreams DSP and Exciting Times stamps.
All measurements can be seen at the start of the you tube video which is linked in comments.

Morning and Happy Monday!
I have been neglecting my crafting these past couple of months as we were working on the garden and decorating inside the house.
Starting this week I want to get back to playing with my craft supplies - my room has been tidied, re-arranged and painted so it is ready to go!
I thought I would challenge myself to work through the alphabet - each week I will choose a letter and make a project (or 2 ) using that letter for inspiration. It may be the name of a fun fold, an occasion or Holiday theme, a 3d project, a technique etc.
I need some help and ideas though 😂
My scruffy notebook page shows my ideas so far but I want to have at least 2 ideas for each letter. Can you help me find more projects, especially for the hard to use letters like x and q?

All thoughts and ideas would be welcome - even your favourite fold or techniques and a different idea for letters which I have already added a project.

I am going to try to work on the letters in alphabetical order but not sure if that is too much extra work 🤷‍♀️.

Once I make a project I will add a YouTube link on here and include measurements too.

Thankyou!

Have you been and checked the new items in the last chance sale yet?
If you want the lovely Gallery bloom items look at the individual prices for the stamps, embossing folder, embellishments etc! What a bargain! (Cheaper to buy individually than the bundle).
I just bought the Ornamental Christmas set too - didn’t buy it last year but couldn’t resist the set with the discounts right now and got the matching DSP as well.
These are a couple of my favourites but there is so much to choose from.
Any order over $30 through my store earns a sampler gift of new DSP from me and a handmade thankyou card as well.

Thankyou for all your comments on the shadow box card yesterday - I had a request to show the original Father’s Day card one I made and showed in the video. I did add a little coffee cup to the side of the chair later.
Here you go!

Just finished today’s card and video - changed my mind on layout during the video and liked it better than my original idea! I still used the chair but put it on the inside instead.
I made a double easel fold ready for a special birthday card I need next month; added an extra sentiment inside and some numbers on the front but didn’t want to give away pictures of the final card just in case.
