Helidot Workshop

Thank you everyone that attended the Helidot workshop in Bletchingley Village Hall for your lovely comments and I'm so glad you enjoyed yourselves.
We made six new card projects during the day using the new All about Babies set and the Petite Fleur mini
set.
 I will be putting copies of these card projects on the Blog during the next couple of weeks.

The day proved to be so popular that I will start organising a another day in October date to be confirmed by the end of this week.

Here are some of the photos of  everyone hard at work.....

and here is my friend Jackie who helped me all day along with my family, a huge thank you to them all for all their help.,

I must apologise for not sharing any ideas lately with the new All about Babies set but the photos below
are just two of the cards made with the set, full instructions are in the book. All the papers are available
from the online shop and are called Boy and Angel, these contain 2 extra plain colour co-ordinated papers and cost £1.99.  We are still offering free P&P.

More ideas really soon

Biggin Hill show

Hi,

Next Sunday is the Sincerely Yours Biggin Hill Show hope you will be able to come and look forward to seeing you there.

The workshop day in July is now full and I hope to be able to have another one about October time.

Been really busy just lately making all the samples for the new set, its going to be called 'All About Babies'
I have had so much fun doing the samples and it will be ready for the Craft Barn extravaganza on the 1st June. Its a bigger set with six sheets of peel off shapes and some lovely large text.  I will also be selling an accessory set to go with it so you can have everything you need to get started straight away.
I have designed some gorgeous papers in pale pink and pale blue along with coordinating plain papers.
These will be part of the accessory set, they will also be available to buy individually.

I will only be at the Craft Barn on the Saturday as on Sunday I am doing the Sincerely Yours show in Bracknell.

I have given you a really easy card to make below which uses the Petites Fleurs mini set......
All the flowers are made using the large (A) and small (B) petals and circles (I) and (J) from the sheet no1201 and the flowers either side are the mini flowers (S) on sheet 1203 with black dots for the centres from sheet no1202  I have used the text paper from the helidot range colour (BELLE) which is available to buy from our online shop and is now packed into 8 sheets 2 of each design priced at only £1.50. FREE P&P for limited period only.I have used some coordinating cardstock from Bazzill and some lovely jewels.
 

Watch out for our new range of pearls and jewels, coming soon,  which coordinate with the Helidot papers and enhance the designs.

Happy Easter

Hello

Happy Easter to you all, well its nearly over now and its still freezing cold... when will the weather get warmer?  I must apologise for not getting back sooner about the date for the workshop day but I have
now booked the hall for Saturday 6th July  If you are interested please contact me by E-Mail and I will give you all the details.

I have been busy with the new set which I have been so looking forward to producing it should be ready in
about 4-5 weeks, its a slightly larger set with patterned and plain papers that match exactly.
We are producing a booklet with step by step instructions to make it easy for you to follow, and there will also be plenty of inspiration in the centre of the book with lots of cards to make.
Craftwork cards are producing some lovely sentiments to compliment this set  which will be available to buy from our website soon.
Its all about Babies..... so cute!!!   I will give you a little taster really soon.

Below are some more cards I have made using the Petite Fleur set... The first card is the lamb... if you already have the set the lamb is made with the same shapes as the hanging basket (Q and W and X) also shape( AA) for ears and tail.  The other shapes are (S) the flowers.  Hope that helps.

 

The next card is also made using the Petite fleur set  a little bit more involved but still quite easy.
The rabbit is made using the shapes (M and O) for the head (L) is for the arms just by cutting in half lengthways. The dress is made by using (R) layered twice. The pocket and shoes are shape(T). The legs are the same as the sheep shape(W and X) The basket is made using the waste from the layered dress(R)
turned upside down and the collar on the dress is a flower (S) cut in half. The leaves are the small heart shape (U). and all the flowers are shape(S).  The large heart shape is a sissix die which is available from the Craft Barn at Priory Farm.All the papers I have used are from the Helidot range which are available from my web shop.

My next workshop will be on the 20th April at Lovingly Made in Felbridge it will be great to see you there.

Bee Happy and stay warm!!

Helidots Workshop

Hello

It was lovely to meet so many ladies last week at the Make It show.... thank you for all the kind comments about our Helidot samples.  I really hope you enjoy using the shape art, and come up with
some unique ideas for your cards.

I am planning to do a workshop day sometime this Summer,locally in my village of Bletchingly I'm looking at a hall on Tuesday, if it is suitable I will get it booked and give you all the date in the coming week so keep looking at the Blog.  I have currently filled half the places so please let me know asap if you are interested.
You can email me on helen@helidot.com

I thought I would show one of the cards from The Petites Fleur set along with all the coded shapes, there
are three step by step full colour instructions included in the pack, and retails at £3.75.  I can`t believe myself
how much you can make with this set it is so versatile, I will share some more ideas later  in the week once I've got the date of the workshop.

 

    

 
I think you will agree she is so cute.  Happy Mothers Day to you all.

New shapes with Petites Fleur

Here are some ideas using the petites fleur set, instead of making up cards I have given some ideas just using some of the shapes... hope you like them,  these are just a few of the many this set can make.

I am holding a workshop next Saturday 23rd February at Lovingly Made so if you would like to  come along please ring them on 01342321766 or book online.

The  photos below  are just some of the flowers that can be made with this set and the butterflies are made using the same shapes as the large flowers. Butterflies can be made with lots of different petals or leaves but I thought these were quite pretty.I have used the Helidot papers as the small patterns are just perfect for
all the small images.

Hope to see you at the Make It Show on March 1st to 3rd

Bee Happy
