Made It Onto A Design Team! Woo Hoo!

October 8, 2018October 8, 2018 John - Gentleman Crafter34 Comments

A little excited today as I have got some new friends! I got an email the other day that said I had made it onto the Couture Creations design team for 2018/19! How awesome!?

As you would expect, it’s not just me. There are in fact a group of super talented crafters that have been given this honour too so I thought that it would be cool to share their details so you can see more inspiration for the fabby GoPress and Foil system along with other goodys from the Couture Creations range over the coming months.Read More »

A Private Commission And A Furry Friend

October 2, 2018September 28, 2018 John - Gentleman Crafter14 Comments

A couple of my friends have recently moved house and I wanted to be able to send them a housewarming gift but if I’m honest, I was a bit stumped.

You see, this house move saw a massive declutter for the pair and therefore I didn’t want to go giving them more clutter when they had worked so hard at downsizing so what I was to send had to have meaning and purpose.

I, therefore, racked my brains, of which there isn’t much in working order.

Thought I’d have a go at this, this year. Originally created by artist Jake Parker and is simply a creative exercise to help get more confident at drawing/inking. Maybe you’d be interested too?

It can take a good amount of toil and laying around in poop to make a beautiful flower truly bloom. Obviously, the flower lays in the poop, not you.

This week’s Artist Trading Card celebrates the fruits of those labours.

Fancy a look?

After a couple of days away hosting workshops last week, and arriving home VERY late due to rail issues, I decided to give myself a day off. It’s a rare treat these days so I wanted to make use of it and have a little play time.

This coincided with the stockpiling of new goodies reaching ‘use it or lose it’ proportions so I chose to dive into those for this make.Read More »

A New Scan N Cut Experience Is Coming

September 8, 2018November 27, 2018 John - Gentleman Crafter33 Comments

As you know I tend to try and keep abreast of all things Scan N Cut so I have been eager to find out more about the Scan N Cut DX which launches in the US next week.

Whilst I still haven’t got my hands on the new machine, nor been able to pin down a launch date for other areas of the world, I have been able to do a bit of research into what’s new and compile a list of information and resources that may be of interest to those that are waiting to see what’s new.
