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

New Set available soon

Yesterday I gave my I.T. guy the info on the new set so it should be available in the next few days....
I love it you can make lots of lovely images without using anything from the other sets. I've also given the printer the go ahead for some new paper colours so they should be available to buy fingers crossed by the end of February.
So much going on at the moment I am in the middle of the next set which I hope to have by
May-June, I have been really excited by this set as I have been wanting to produce this one for ages. It will have a book like the other larger sets....I just hope everyone will like it. More info on this when I am a bit further forward with it.
Just a little peak of the new set

Here is another sweet card again using the Fairies and Friends set .......

I will be doing a workshop on February 23rd all day at Lovingly Made in Felbridge using my  new petites fleurs set, please contact them direct on 01342 321766 or by E-mail. if you are interested in coming.

We have been busy booking some shows this year and we will be at the Make It show at Farnborough from 1-3 March.  Hope to see you there please come and say hello.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Its all about Flowers

I will very soon be able to share set no.5 with you its called petites fleurs and is proving to be quite lovely.
Lots of petals and leaves as well as some large letters. The flowers are gorgeous and all the shapes are very
versatile.  The mini sets have really been designed to work in conjuction with all the different sets.
However, I have been playing with the new set for two weeks and have made a real assortment of cards.

I will give you lots of ideas once it is available to buy..    

The cards below are both made using Fairies and Friends set.  Really easy to make. I hope you like them.  

Thanks for looking. Will share some more cards very soon.

Back at last

I apologise for not sharing any cards for so long, but life has been a bit difficult since the middle of October, My father died suddenly and then 4 weeks later my lovely step-dad had a  serious.heart attack, thanks to my sister being there when it all happened he survived and is making good progress.  So I am starting to get back to some normality now.  I hope you all had a happy Christmas and I wish everyone a very happy new year.

Below are some cards which I have made using the Seasonal set along with the Seasonal extras, all these cards can now be adapted to make birthday cards just by changing colours and substituting holly for leaves and flowers and of course the wording.  Sometimes I think it is quite a good idea to leave some cards blank as you can always write a lovely sentiment inside. The Santa belt card can be changed to a different colour
i.e. greens and black and you have a card for those difficult men in your life.  Let me know what you achieve.    

I am working on another mini set at the moment it has lots of new flower and leaf shapes which can be used to make some cute new creatures my favourite is a fairy mouse.  The set should be ready in about 3- 4 weeks.  It will adopt the same format as the Seasonal Extras with the project ideas and designs being with the 3 sheets of shapes.This set can be used as an extra to the other Helidot sets.  
I will be holding a workshop sometime in February at Lovingly Made using the new set. If you are interested  in coming to a workshop with me please contact  Trixie or John on 01342 321 766 or online at www.lovinglymadeltd.co.uk during January..

Below is a little example from the new set..

Thanks for looking
