Fold the flap back so it sits on the outside edge.

place your fingers into the flaps and fold back.

Fold the flaps back so they are in the inside of the petal.

Fold the flaps back to create a square and put your glue on the outside of the flap and stick together. See next photo.

Petal

Stick 2 together. Carry on until you have used 5 petals.

One finished flower.

Stick together until you have created 2 sides of six each.

Continue to build up and create two halfs. Lay the ribbon across the inside base leaving the ends out and making a loop for hanging.

This is the finished ball thank you linda for letting me use yours. Finish off with beads to the end of the ribbons.

Back to work

I am back to work today still coughing but if I stay home till it stops it could be another month so going to give it ago. Must say I have missed work!!! what a sado I am can't wait to see all the new things that have arrived and I want to play with the Bis shot.
Will upload some bits soon.

More pills and potions

As many of you will know I am off sick with bronchtis. I have been to the doctors today and got more antibiotics thats 3 lots and another inhaler. I have been signed off for another week so unfortunatly the Christmas Ball is now on 30th October. I have prepared a tutorial for this so if you miss it I will post it after the demo.

I love our buyer

I love our buyer at work he has got us the BIG SHOT and the BOUTIQUE at amazing prices the Big Shot is £49.99 and the Boutique £19.99. What a bargain. If that isn't enough to get you in he has also ordered a lot of promo goody bags as well unfortunatly I can't tell you whats in them as I am at home with a nasty chest, off to the doctors later and I hope it's only an infection.

All promos are in now and I am sure Tina will have got them out. So go say hi to her and grab a bargain.

Maisie put her neck out

I hope this is going to make sense. remember if you pop along to a demo I can show you how to do it.

Take an A5 and fold the front back so that the cut edge is level with the fold. Take an A6 and cut an inch off of the back.

Place the A6 card across the fold and draw around on the fold piece only.


Unfortunatly this picture did not work. So place the A6 card central on the front of the card and then draw round on the fold side. This is all done on the inside of the card.

Using your ruler and a knife cut on the pencil line.

Your flap should look like this.

A side view

Score a 1cm channel on the narrower side of the card.

Decorate thje front of your A5 card before assembly it's a lot easier

Decorate the A6 cardremembering that the fold of the card needs to be on the right.

Stick the A6 card to the inside flap that you cut previously.

Place the tape on the small scored channel top side and close the card press down, the A6 card will find it's own place.
