Card Craft
Stella Heritage
Stella
Heritage guides members through the techniques involved in this most
decorative craft..
The group meets fortnightly in the Cricket
Club on Tuesdays from 1.30 - 3.00 pm.
Stella would like everyone to
save their old cards and pass them on to her. The cards are recycled
using the fronts only. The backs are sometimes used to make small
boxes.
The recycled cards are sold and the proceeds go to charity. The
coffee mornings in the Guild Hall are a good time to see her.
So if you
think you have suitable cards please save them for Stella.
If you
would like to join the group ring 01538
702124 or Email; stellamheritage@yahoo.co.uk
Our
Card Making Class at the U3A!!
You'd be surprised what ladies do
When armed with scissors, card and glue
Their masterpieces greet the eye
For "Cards 'R' Us" we hear them cry.

We have been known to
stamp a lot
But not in anger! - embossing's hot!
With heat-gun, powder, silver, gold
We produce cards glorious to behold. |
Encaustic wax and tea-bag fold
Imagination soon takes hold
They snip, and stick, create with glee
Embellishments - a sight to see!
|
Découpage
is a wondrous art
More cutting, sticking, part-by-part
With layers, building bit-by-bit
Until completed - what a hit. |
For hand-made cards we have a name
And "mentions" in the Hall of Fame
Birthdays, Thankyous, Get Well Wishes
More satisfying than doing dishes
|
Ribbons, feathers,
buttons too
Are used creatively its true
Iris folding - there's a surprise
Paper folder before your eyes. |
Whose
anniversary is coming next?
We'll make a card, and find a text
With lace and peel-offs by the score
And glitter too - we smear the floor! |
Made into a magic card
It wasn't really very hard
Follow instructions, read them through
You'll be surprised what YOU can do.
