September Tutorial – Christmas Cards
In this kit we are creating 3 beautiful Christmas cards using our fabulous Hologram Mesh. Fiddlesticks Papercrafts mesh is much larger than most mesh available, thus enabling us to create some stunning cards.
Christmas Hologram Mesh Card Kit
The first of the 3 cards is a beautiful Christmas Tree card using Hologram Mesh threaded with ribbon and embellished with stickers from our fabulous range.
The second Card is also a Christmas Tree card totally different from card No. 1 using gold cord and Hologram Mesh.
The final card is another great card using Hologram Mesh yet again totally different from cards 1 & 2
The Kit comes with full instructions and a diagram of how to thread the ribbon to make a stunning pattern, plus a surprise card for you to make on your own without our help.
Cost of Kits will now be $18.50 Including Postage.
Payment can be made by Credit Card or Direct Deposit or Kits can be pre ordered for collection at the Mildura & Broken Hill Craft Alive Shows.

Wagga Wagga ~ report
Wagga Wagga Craft Alive
Hi Everyone,
Well what a busy time we are having our online store has gone berserk and now is our busiest show time, We had a great time at Wagga, everyone knows exactly where our stand is and head straight for us, we had lots of our lovely regulars come to see us, which is always a delight, the ladies in our classes changed their mind from the Oriental Card to a lovely 3 Panel Card that can be used for weddings, Deb Balls, 21st Birthdays, and lots more their cards were stunning.
We have been busy sending out the new Project for the month, this months project has proven to be very popular, I am so glad you all liked it, I love making this sweet card and trying different embellishments and trimmings, there are just so many ways to change this great card.
Our sale items are selling well at the shows, we are discontinuing all of our Scrapbooking stock plus lots of other products.
It was great to catch up with our fellow exhibitors, and have a gasbag.
We hope to see you at one of the shows we will be attending
Happy Crafting
Barbie & Jimmie

Tutorials
We are pleased to announce that we have posted our very first card making tutorial and these will continue on a monthly basis.
These tutorials are created with the beginner cardmaker in mind, but I’m sure there will be something for even the most advanced of cardmakers.
With each tutorial we will offer for sale a full kit of materials required to complete each project. Bear in mind that colours of the kits may vary from those shown in the tutorial pictures.
These will be offered for purchase through our website.
Our first project for the month of August is the Handbag Card.

Wodonga Craft Alive
Hi Everyone,
We have just returned from the Wodonga Craft Alive Show, how great was the new venue? We loved it, so many customers commented on how much better it was, we had loads of people through the doors, 30 new exhibitors and all stands were fully booked.
The workshops have changed and are now called the Crafters Cafe; it looks really great with the new pink tablecloths, Robbie has gone to a lot of trouble to make it look inviting, a few people have gotten confused and thought they could get a coffee there so make sure you look for the Crafters Cafe for your workshops at all future Craft Alive Shows.
Our next Craft Alive Show is Wagga Wagga from Friday 31st July to Sunday 2nd August 10am till 5pm daily except Sunday closing is at 4pm.
Card Making Workshop
1.30pm Friday and Saturday only.
Three Panel Card decorated with a Japanese kimono using Washi paper, Japanese symbols and wording. All materials and equipment required for this class will be supplied.
Cost $15.00 – please prebook at the Fiddlesticks stand 29 or by email to fiddlestickscrafts@bigpond.com

FiddleSticks News
Hi Everyone,
We spent last weekend exhibiting at Craft Alive in Griffith, it was great to see so many of our fellow exhibitors who we haven’t seen since last year, it was our first show for the year, that is very unusual for us we have normally done quite a few by now but I must say we have enjoyed the rest, I am sorry to our customers who were expecting me to do a workshop, I had decided not to do any this year but I think last weekend changed my mind, we had a great time, Jodie was with us for a change so it was a very pleasant weekend, I came home to a decent dose of flu and have spent the week in bed getting very spoilt.
We will be attending all Craft Alive shows this year as usual the next show being Wodonga the first weekend in July, we hope to see some of you there, if you can’t make it please check out our online store using the link on our blog.
Also look out for my upcoming projects on our blog, I will be showing you a card and giving you full instructions and a list of products that were used all available on our online store.
Happy Crafting
Barbie
