Wiper Cards

DATE:  Sunday, October 5th

TIME:  12:30 - 2:30

COST:  $25

Would someone please tell me where September went?  I blinked and it was gone!  Here we are into one of the most gorgeous season in New England.  I was in Maine this past week and the trees are starting to turn.  Can't wait!

So let's think back quite a few years - remember wiper cards?  They have a fun mechanism when opened an element pops up.  Not terribly difficult, but you need to concentrate.  I'll help you thru it all!

Here's what I've got for you. I've only made two cards (don't want to overwhelm you), but I will try and create others with different themes (no promises).  This card lends itself to any occasion believe it or not.

Our first card has a single pop up feature:

Surprise!!

And our second card features TWO pop ups!

Guaranteed fun for the recipients.  Check out the newsletter for what to bring to class.

See you soon!

 

Vases, vases, vases

 DATE:  Sunday, September 21

TIME:  12:30 - 2:30

COST:  $25

Happy ALMOST Fall Y'all!  Yup, we are on the cusp, but I'm not quite ready to march out the fall cards yet.  That will happen in October.  So stay tuned! 

In the meantime, I wanted to share my love of vases (no idea where this comes from!) by showcasing three pretty, simple cards.  We will progress from one vase, to two and to three showing you how versatile you can be.

First up is the single vase in CAS format.  I used paper flowers, not die cuts, for this particular card.

And next are the two vases.  I've used a torn piece of "corrugated" card stock and a sprinkling of gold splatter:

And lastly, three grouped vases.  We'll be using a simple but old technique for this card for the accents on the vases.

So there you have it!  Be sure to check the newsletter for what products to bring to class.

As always, I look forward to seeing you all.

Half Gate Fold Card

DATE:  Sunday, September 7th

TIME:  12:30 - 2:30

COST:  $25

Well I'm back from my travels and what a time we had!  I insist that you put Alaska on your bucket list.  The views are stunning and indescribable - just something you have to witness in person.

So, I've put my Teaching hat back on and am ready for you with three lovely half gate fold cards as follows:  the first two are showing flowers but with a very different look.

And we have a happy, bright card using neon inks.

Please check the newsletter for supplies to bring to class.  Guess I'd better get cracking and put your kits together.  I'm still on vacation time!

See you soon!
