It's the middle of the week already, so that means we have our weekly make from our new (and very talented) DT member, John Lockwood. Once again, John has been getting festive with the new Craft Dies by Sue Wilson, so scroll down to see what magic he has created for us this week!
We also have a new episode of Crafting My Style to unveil for you. Crafting My Style is a series of free tutorial videos featuring Sue Wilson. In the series, Sue creates a different project for each episode to help inspire you on working with her new Craft Dies. It's easy to subscribe to the Creative Expressions YouTube channel, and there are over 100 videos on there (and we are currently filming more!).
Also, in our news today, we have closed our call for a new Creative Expressions Design Team. We have received so many fantastic entries from so many talented crafters, that once again, it has been a really difficult decision to make. We have managed to short-list the applicants down to the next round, and judging will hopefully take place on Friday, so we should be able to announce our new Design Team shortly!
On a separate note, we have a Creative Expressions Stamping Show with Julia Watts coming up tomorrow (Thursday, 2nd October at 9am & 3pm) - so don't forget to record it if you aren't going to be around :)
Crafting My Style with Sue Wilson:
Sue is back for another episode of Crafting My Style. In this episode, Sue is making this beautiful 'Diagonal Channel Technique' Card, that shows you how to double up on your Craft Dies to give your projects a completely different look (it's amazing how versatile these Dies are!).
This is a free tutorial video, so get the kettle on and sit back and enjoy. Hopefully Sue will provide you with some inspiration for your own makes... :)
All items featured in this video are available to purchase over at Joanna Sheen.

I always look for John Lockwood's Designs. His designs are consistently of high quality. It is obvious to me he designs with a love for art and not just to push out a new design. I rate him as the top Artist.
ReplyDeleteHappy thoughts,

Stunning as always John,
