Tina Cox designs today

The ultra fabulous Tina Cox, you all know her beautiful butterfly designs has been generous enough to let us have some inspiration from her designs. Like Gail she has given us a few designs but I'll add them one at a time so keep on returning to see more of them.

This is the first:

This parchmentcraft card is delightful. I love the scalloped detailing around the edge and how the flowers in each scallop are used again to great effect in the main flower design. To the side is one of Tina's signature butterflies which is bright and elegant and so realistic that you can almost see its wings flaping.

Flowers from Gail Sydenham.

It is wondeful when someone sends you a bunch of flowers and they do look fantastic and smell sweetly for the time that they are alive in the vase. All too soon they wither and die and have to be thrown away. So you cannot imagine how delighted I was to receive this set of flowers by the highly talented Gail Sydenham. These beautiful flowers are from a set of parchment designs that Gail is willing to share with us on the blog. There are more but I will post them one at a time.

This design is from Gail's book,

Non Parchment Craft but handy none the less

I've taken this post from my Craft Fairy Designs Blog but I thought that it might be useful here to get something on the page.

In the last post I gave you a video on how to decorate gift boxes, and this one is on how o make them. It should have been the other way around really but that's femail logic for you.

So this post is on

How to make small gift boxes

It's a video tutorial again so I hope that you enjoy and learn and make lots of boxes.

Welcome to the Bristol Parchment Craft Exhibition Blog

Last June an amazing parchment craft show was held in Bristol. The show was organized by the wonderful, Patricia Murphy, and we all owe her a huge vote of thanks for putting together such a wonderful day.

It was attended by hundreds of dedicated crafters who found inspiration every where they looked. Just take a look at some of the photographs below to see how much the day was enjoyed by all.
