Good morning everyone, before todays card(s) I have some exciting news to share about upcoming events at Lili of the Valley
***
Firstly …it’s our Birthday!
Come and help us to celebrate LOTV’s 9th Birthday at our next Open Day on Saturday 2nd March at our showroom in Leeds
Can you believe it’s 9 years since Laila started Lili of the Valley in 2004?!
We will have special offers across all ranges in store, a goody bag, free demonstrations and workshops too. You will be able to sample a wonderful selection of refreshments, enter our free competition to win a fabulous birthday hamper and be inspired by our Spring displays …you won’t want to miss all that so why not come along and join the party!
After the success of our Virtual Christmas Party on Facebook, we will once again be inviting everyone around the world to join us for our cyber birthday party too!
***
As before the workshops will be bookable in advance as places are limited. If you are interested in attending then please contact our Erica on erica@liliofthevalley.co.uk

How to create the Perfect Card
1 ½ hours (10.30 – 12 noon)
£15 (all materials provided)
You will take away a finished card
If you would love to know the secrets of how to create beautiful professional looking cards every time, then this is the course for you! We will cover everything from how to select backing papers, matt and layer your card, co-ordinate colours, use a die, add flowers, use an image, where to put a sentiment, what a sketch is and more. All materials will be provided and you will leave at the end of the class with a beautiful card.
This is for beginners and for anyone who always wishes their cards looked better!
*
Beginner Colouring Class
1 hour (2.00 – 3.00)
£10 (all materials provided)
You will take away a completed coloured image for you to add to a card
This class will teach you how to colour an image including skin, hair and clothes using basic shading and blending techniques. You will leave at the end with a finished coloured image, a colour suggestions chart and a free booklet as a reminder on how to colour
*
Both these workshops will be taken by our Dawny P

Onto todays card …I know I said that I was done with Christmas but I couldn’t resist showing you these 2 lovely cards that Pops made as our die cut sheets are on special offer at the moment…
Pops has used the sheet that features our ever popular James The Bear …it’s called Beary Merry Christmas
The A4 Die Cut and Mini Masterpiece sheets are great for a quick card or if you don’t like to colour. They are usually £1.00 each but for a limited time you can get 15 sheets for just £10.00

Phew that was a long post!
Enjoy your day and I’ll see you tomorrow x

Same as for the others, Leeds is just "a bit" too far for a short visit! I'd so much love to come along! But I'll definitely try to join the virtual party!
ReplyDeleteOh, and now I know why it was good of me not to visit the Christmas section of your shop before ordering! Aren't they all sooo sweet, and expecially that James, the bear! Will be back for him later in the year for sure...
Kind regards, Britta (from Germany)

Hi Anne, Two lovely cards and these sheets are great for quick cards. I wish you were closer, as like others, it is too far to travel. I am having a full knee replacement on 20th of this month and I am not allowed to even walk outside fo 3 weeks. I am going to be climbing the walls!! I am not allowed to use Facebook as our computer is linked to my husbands' company. Have a wonderful day. I can remember seeing Laila on C&C. Hugs, Carol S.xx
