Class Samples

Come join us on Saturday March 2nd for Make-n-take.  We will have four cards set up ready for you to make.  All of the papers are pre-cut and all of your supplies are provided.  You can drop in anytime between 10 am and 4 pm and make one card or as many as you'd like for a cost of $2 per card.  Below is a photo of the four cards we will be making this month.

On March 7th we will be making three cards using some of the latest releases from the Lockhart Stamp Co. Join us at either 10:30 am or 6:30 pm to make a unique flamingo, three sailboats, and a gardening scene.  Cost of the class is $15.

On March 12th you can join us for the Tri-Fold and Watercolor Card Class.  We will be using the new Art Impressions tri-fold card kits to create beautiful cut-away cards.  One of the cards will incorporate colored pencil techniques while the other will be done on watercolor paper using Art Impressions' watercolor stamping technique.  Classes are at 10:30 am and 6:30 pm and the cost is $15.  Call today to sign up.

Don't forget to sign up if you would like to join us for our annual tag sale.  You will need a number to place on your items.  See the last post to this blog or call the store for more details.

MARCH SCHEDULE

Even though it doesn't look like it, spring is definitely on its way.  Below is our new schedule of classes for March. 

  

We're offering some of your old favorites as well as a few new classes.  On the 7th, we'll be making three  cards using newly released stamps from Lockhart.  The look is fresh, and we'll be using patterned papers in parts of our stamped designs.  On March 12th, we'll be using the Art Impressions Cottage Try-Fold set to make two really cute cut-away cards. On one we'll be blending with colored pencils and the other we will be doing the Art Impressions watercolor technique using markers with stamps on watercolor paper.  Believe me, once you try it you won't want to stop.  

We're having our third annual Tag Sale on Saturday, March 23. Now's the time to clean out those drawers and closets and collect all of the gently used stamps, papers, punches, and other supplies you're no longer interested in.  Bring them in priced to sell, and all of your sales will earn you store credit so you can get some new and exciting replacements.  You can also shop the tag sale to get some real bargains!  Prices must be in whole dollar amounts. You can price items individually or try several stamps in a bag for one price.  Call the store to get your personal ID number which must be placed on each price tag.  Items can be dropped off from Wednesday, March 20 through Friday, March 22.  You do not need to be present for the sale, but any unsold items can either be reclaimed by Wednesday, March 27 or we will donate them to local programs and charities. Our first two tag sales were HUGE successes.  Space is limited, so reserve yours early.

New Merchandise and Class Samples

We have just received the latest papers from Graphic 45.  The French Country line features some lovely sunflowers, roosters, and coordinating scenes.

Spring has sprung with the arrival of the Secret Garden line.  There are some beautiful floral designs in a delightfully "springy" palette.

We also have the samples from the upcoming glitter class for your viewing pleasure.  They feature an orchid done using three different techniques and working with peel-offs and micro-fine glitter.  The class is on Tuesday, February 26, at 10:30 am and 6:30 pm.  The cost is $15.  Call now to sign up.

Fat Tuesday

Tuesday, February 12, is Fat Tuesday.  We didn't think anyone would come in to make a Mardi Gras card, and not too many people make donut cards, so we thought we'd go with a literal interpretion.  Below are our three Fat Tuesday cards.  Enjoy!

SPRING IS COMING!

It might look like winter out there and it might be 10 degrees, but trust me, spring will be here soon.  Be ready with some cute birds, flowers, dragonflies, and THE SUN.  We have a new Inky Antics board and a selection of new stamps to go with it.

Come on down!

We'd like to greet you as you come in to shop or take a class.  That's our job and we take it very seriously. Besides, we're cute and, admit it, you can't resist us.

IRIS FOLD CLASS

If it's been a while since you've done iris folding or if you've never done it at all, you'll love this class.  Iris folding is easy, trust me. All you have to do is fold and tape and you have a very creative card.  We thought we'd cover three holidays at once with a heart, a shamrock, and an Easter egg.

        STENCIL CLASS

Look at these adorable bunny cards! Using three different stenciling techniques, you will make these three cards in plenty of time for Easter.  Along with the usual class kit (scissors and adhesive), please bring your spatula if you have one.  Hop on in and sign up.

February Calendar

Our schedule for February is complete!  We've got some of your favorite classes and a couple of new ones. Hopefully you'll be able to come to a class or two.

We'll be posting pictures of the samples for these classes as we get them done.  Back by popular demand, we'll have Stamp of the Month Class, Copic Marker classes, a Stencil Class or two, Glitter Card Class, and of course Open Crop and the Double Page Scrapbook Layout.  We'll also be offering an oldie but goodie, Iris Fold Cards.  They're fun and easy, and if you've never done them before or if it's been a while, join us on the 5th.  On Tuesday the 12th, we're offering something new:  FAT TUESDAY.  Since we didn't think anyone would come to make Mardi Gras cards, we're taking the day literally.  Just wait until you see the cards!  You won't want to miss this one.
