Trimcraft Bloggers Day

Crating For Crafting Sake














Hi Friends,

 On Saturday the 25th of February,I was lucky enough to be apart of the very first (hopefully of many) Trimcraft Bloggers's Day events. It was organised by some of my friends and colleagues at Trimcraft

 It was such an amazing day filled with craft, cake, laughter and blogging! The event was to celebrate the launch of The Craft Blog https://www.trimcraft.co.uk/ which replaces the old Trimcraft website.
The new blog is a haven for inspiration, projects and all round crafty goodness. It has such a fresh and contemporary feel to the blog and most importantly, its so easy to use. This is a great one stop shop for all things crafty.

 Whilst as the bloggers day we were lucky enough to to take part in a variety of crafting projects and makes. The first make of the day was Deco Mache. I just think there is something so therapeutic about this craft.

we were all given frames to decorate and a hug choice of papers! I chose to use the First Edition Map Deco Mache papers, I love the detailing it went perfectly with the heart and corkboard stickers.





I was so happy with the finished result.

 Next we moved on to making origami flowers, something that I have always wanted to do but had never tried as it looked quite complicated, I was so wrong, it was so easy and so much fun. 

I used the stunning blooming lovely papers and mixed them up to create contrasting colours. I think this is such a great idea and perfect for Mother's Day or Easter.




 After all that crafting, I was very pleased that lunch was announced, this was well needed and very much enjoyed by all, the selection was great and it gave us time to talk to fellow crafters.

Every single one of the people I met at the Bloggers day was so talented and worked so hard on their chosen crafts. There was Sarah from Bella Coco a very talented and popular Crochet tutorial Youtuber, she also has the most delightful blog. Next there was Elizabeth John from Love From Lizi, she is a single mum turned superhero, who has worked so hard to create an amazing monthly card subscription box. She puts all her card creations on Youtube and puts her heart and soul into creating the boxes. 
I also has the pleasure of meeting The Crafty Gentleman, you may know him, as he also stared in Kirsty's homemade Christmas. Mike was the only gentleman at the event but seemed to take it all in his stride. I also met the lovely Daisy from My Green Cow, Emma from these Glittery Hands, Ruth from A passion for cards, Lyndsey from Lyndsey Marie Designs and of course the very talented Kathy Crafts was there!

 My favourite challenge of the day was to create something to leave behind that was going to be put on the Trimcraft mannequin for them to put in pride of place in the office showroom. We had to do this using the stunning Wild Flower papers. 

 I used this stunning purple watercolour paper as my frame and backed it with a lovely mixed purple paper as a background. I cut out the scissors and penguin to add a bit of my personality to the project and used the simply creative letters to spell out TLCC for The Little Craft Cave. 

It was a jam packed day of crafting fun, it was so well planned and thought out and I was honored to be a part of it.  Safe to say I cam out with new friends, new ideas and a deeper love for the amazing Trimcraft products.
