Well Wendy and I are on our way to set up at ally pally and Wendy has been a star helping me prep for the show as well as prep for my Hochanda show on Saturday. I will be guesting a live show on Hochanda form Ally Pally at 3pm on Saturday tune in to see what we have come up with ( sneak peak tomorrow)
Back to roady and a Christmas Card using the new Merry Christmas die designed by Sue Wilson for Creative Expressions. This die is an addition to this years strange and has only juts been released! There is a Happy New Year die to match but Ill pots the cards with that when Sue Wilson does her Hochanda shows demonstrating how to use the festive collection crafting her style.
Here I've tied the sentiment with the Holly and Poinsettia gemini from this years festive die range.
Don't forget if you can't make it to Ally Pally Hochanda will be broadcasting LIVE from the event all day Saturday and Sunday!
Enjoy...

Hi John and crafters all,

I bought this die and a few of Sue's festive release so it is nice to see your ideas using it.

ReplyDeleteHi John.
ReplyDeleteThank you a great card.

Morning John, oh this card is stunning, I absolutely love, love, love it, I am not sure if I will still be there tomorrow at 3pm to watch your show (my son's partner is bringing me in her car, and although she does a little bit of crafting I know she is going to have a mouch around the area outside (weather permitting), but I will be able to see it on catch up when I get home if I miss it. I did see the entry on fb about the two new dies, they are on my list of things to purchase..............
ReplyDeleteHope all goes well with the set up and I would like to say thank you to Wendy also for helping you with the samples and everything as well, she is a diamond.
See you tomorrow
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
