Monday, July 6 at 10:30 AM & Tuesday July 7th at 6:30pm-- $16 Instructor: Sue
Join Sue in making four beautiful Christmas cards perfect to give to your family and friends. She will teach you a variety of techniques in stamping and embellishing to give your holiday cards that extra pop. You will leave the class with some awesome holiday cards in time to replicate for the holidays.
June Bug is Basic Grey's newest double sided release. Vintage style patterns combine with bright, fun, summery colors for a line that is versatile and sunny. (for some reason it just looks so *warm* to me... ) Many of the papers make me think of my grandmother's sewing chest. I think they'd be great for heritage type pages, all occasion cards, and scrapping those photos of our parents (or us) in embarrassing outfits from the 60's & 70's. :) Click on the paper rack image to see the patterns larger.
Long awaited and just arrived! The Star Wars Classic & Clone Wars paper from Creative Imaginations. As a HUGE Star Wars fan, I can say with authority that this paper is GREAT! It's bold, graphic and foiled! We also have a 12x12 scrapbook page pack (with double sided papers and stuff not in our open-stock) and matching rub ons. (the scrap pack pic is so small- sorry!)
Sue will be teaching how to make these four awesome cards in her All Occasion Card Class. Join us Monday, June 29 at 10:30 AM!

Week 4's release is the Collectors Edition of Zelda. This font is on 7- that's right *seven* 4x8 dies and includes upper, lower, numbers and punctuation. The dies are gold colored too! it's a really amazing font and QuicKutz has told us that they only had as many dies made as stores ordered, so there will never be anymore. For 99.99, it's really an amazing deal too. We have half of our order remaining and they just went on sale Monday.
Think of how cute this could be with some ribbon, awesome new print papers from October Afternoon, etc .
Ducks in a Row from October Afternoon and Yogurt from QuicKutz. :)
Here's your sketch for Sketch Thursday! It may appear simple at first, but you can do SO much with it depending on your papers and how many mats you use, what embellishments... there's a lot of potential here!
Look at what Rhonda did with the sketch! She used several print papers together harmoniously by keeping them in relatively small doses. The horizontal stripes on the left and the vertical stripes on the right keep your eye moving around the page so you can take it all in!
Stamping Bella stamps have just exploded in popularity. Bella has style and sass and since the stamps are unmounted, they're much more affordable than comparably sized mounted stamps. They're easy to use, deeply etched and hand cut for perfect impressions. Come by and see our selection. We brought in a nice variety so there should be something for everyone.
Stampavie stamps are actually created by several designers and offer a wide range of images. All are absolutely wonderful for use with Copic Markers. Here's a small selection of what we currently have in the store.
Here's Rhonda's take on the sketch- she used Doodlebug print papers and the neat border stickers they have to match.
School is out, the heat is on, and the summer activities have begun.
