Christmas Card Class 2014

I feel a little behind schedule this year with my holiday cards but the move really set me back a bit.

Gold is the "in" color this year, we will be using some highlights of fold foil and gold glitter paper.

Hard to see in the photo but the trees are glittered like fallen snow.

 The Merry cut-out die and the Santa set are brand new stamps and dies this year.  Santa's hat and beard are flocked to look fuzzy.

Cost:
The class fee for this one is $20, we are making 8 cards this time instead of 5.
Please pre-pay to hold your seat in the class.  I cannot hold spots without payment.

Supplies to bring:
adhesive runner, pop dots, scor tape, 2 way glue pen (thicker tip is better), paper piercer, scissors, Tombow glue with the green cap.

Christmas Sneak Peek

These is a lot going on and still a lot to do with the upcoming move of the store, but I am working on Christmas cards.

Here is a little sneak peek of a few so far...

Fall Wedding

I love fall and winter weddings because you can use non traditional shapes and colors.   My good friend is getting married today and her colors are purple and gold (mixed with other fall shades).

 I used the Memory Box best wishes die on kraft cardstock and backed the wishes part with gold shiny paper.

I sponged ink around the leaves and accented it with the gold cord for more shimmer.

 Here you can see the layers better, the best wishes is popped up with the purple leaf.

Spider Webs

Remember this card from a few years back?  Around this time of year I always have people asking for a spider web embossing folder.  All the ones I have used in the past have become retired, but Taylored Expressions has now started making their own line of folders.

I still have googley-eyed spiders, so let me know if you would like one of these folders for your Halloween cards.  I have some cool Halloween dies from Impression Obsession too!

October Card Class

One last card class before the Christmas season is here.

I have a couple seasonal cards mixed in for the fall for this workshop.

These first 2 cards are using the "brayering" technique to get the rainbow effect.

We have done this before in class, but this time with a little twist.

Its impossible to see in the flower photo, but we will be using a little Wink of Stella 

to add some sparkle.  (Even though lilacs don't sparkle... its a subtle sparkle.)

We will also be doing another shaker card (after popular request) but this 

one is a little different than how we did them in the previous class.

I was excited to find mini star sequins!

I am loving the new enamel dots that are out now, we will be using them on the
 flower card below.

Supplies to Bring:

Adhesive runner, Scor Tape (very important), foam pop dots (thicker is better than the thin ones),

paper piercer, glue pen, Copic V06, V12, & B60.

If you have YG67 and YG63 feel free to bring them.  You must bring your own 

V06, V12, and B60 for the class. 

I sell the markers and supplies at the shop if you need any of the items needed.

Copic marker skin/hair class

I am having a more in depth class on the Copic markers

focusing on techniques with skin and hair coloring.

This class is for my marker customers who wish to step it up a bit.

We will be using 2 very new MFT stamps sets that also have matching dies.

In this workshop you will be making both of these cards.

You will also receive 3 Copic with your class fee:

E000, E01, and E93

Once you practice this skin & cheeks technique you will be using it all the time!

You will also have a practice piece that you can do before making your cards

or to take home for practice later.

Again, I stress that this class is for customers who purchase markers from my shop.

I sell them for $5.99 which is much cheaper than the $8 charged at the other stores.

This card is great for summer birthdays.

 ...and sometimes you just need a simple Thinking of You type of card.
