OCTOBER CALENDAR

We've worked long and hard (It's difficult to write without those thumbs.), so we'd like to present the schedule for October.  We hope you'll come and take some classes with us.

• October 7th - TAG BOX WITH COOKIES - Make this cute Halloween box out of Graphic 45 tags, then decorate it and fill it with cookies you've stamped to match. You'll learn how to stamp on cookies with edible ink.

• October 14th - 16th - CHRISTMAS CARD CLASS - Combine die cuts with stamping to make 10 of these beautiful cards to add to your Christmas card stash.  

• October 18th - STAMPSCAPES - Although the cards aren't quite designed yet, we will be making outdoor scenes using stamps that are designed to work together seamlessly.  You'll create a couple of designs and then you'll have an opportunity to create your own scenes using our collection of stamps.

• October 23 - COPIC TECHNIQUES WITH FALL COLORS - Bring your fall-colored Copics and learn to color pumpkins, leaves, and autumn scenery.  You'll have lots of opportunities to practice your coloring techniques with a variety of stamps.

• October 25 - STENCIL CLASS - We'll be using an elk stencil to create three beautiful cards using a variety of stenciling techniques.  The cards haven't been born yet, but we know you won't be disappointed.

• October 28 - HOLLY BERRY HOUSE CHRISTMAS BOX - You'll learn to use one stamp to create a 5-sided box which you will emboss and color to create this gorgeous holiday gift box or decoration.

• October 11 - SUSAN'S GARDEN - Susan Tierney Cockburn, a designer with Sizzix and creator of the Susan's Garden line of dies, will be joining us to teach three classes. This is her first time at the store and we'd like to give her a big welcome.  We have all taken classes from her and have enjoyed them immensely.  Her creations look so real, you'll think you're using natural materials. She will be doing the following classes:
• 10am - 12n  - Christmas Candle Wreath - You will make a beautiful holiday candle wreath using Susan's new poinsettia and holly dies along with her pinecone die. The cost is $40 and includes all supplies and a candle.
• 1pm - 3pm - Flower Pendant - You will be making a mini flower, placing it on a necklace base, and covering it with ice resin to give it a porcelain-like finish. All materials are supplied and the cost is $30.
• 4pm - 6pm - Fall Candle Wreath -  This candle wreath uses the fall leaf dies and will make a beautiful autumn accent piece.  The cost of $40 includes all supplies plus the candle.

Susan is sending samples and we will post photos of them as soon as we receive them. Each class is limited to 10 students.  You can take one, two, or all three classes but we expect they will fill quickly, so call the store to make your reservations. If you have any flower-making tools (various sizes of styluses, tweezers, loops, etc.), please bring them with you.
