Will it be a CAT-astrophe?

DATE:  Monday, February 20th
TIME:  1PM to 3PM
COST:  $15

NOTE:  In case of snow, this class will be held on SUNDAY, February 26th!

One of this month's projects is going to be such fun and so useful.  We will be creating a mug insert using Tim Holtz Crazy Cats with some fun sentiments.  You can change out this insert any time you want using any theme you want, but for our class, we will be using cats.  Here's one side of the mug:

And since we will be on a roll with these cats, we'll be creating a cute card for a birthday.

Please join me for what may possibly be the last class here in Weymouth.  I don't have a moving date yet, so the possibility remains that there could be one class after this.  I'll be looking forward to continuing my classes once I move and get settled in.  Stay tuned!

HAPPY 2017!

DATE:  Sunday, January 15th
TIME:  1PM to 3PM
COST:  $20

Happy New Year to all!  I wish you all a healthy and prosperous 2017 and hope to see more of you at some classes.  Most of you know that I will be moving this Spring and I will still continue classes here in Weymouth hopefully thru the end of February.  All bets are off after that!  We will be buried in boxes and prepping this house for sale.

Once we have completed our move, I will resume classes in my new home or at the fabulous Club House that is available to me.  I'll keep you posted.

So, here's my first class for 2017.  I'll be taking you back to origami days and we'll be making the same fold for FIVE cards.  This class will showcase some of the different ways you can utilize this very pretty African Palm leaf just by changing its size or its orientation.  These cards work up so quickly that you will fall in love with them.  Talk about making a quick card!

The purple card below is actually a gift card!

Let's double up with this one!

It is understood that if the weather does not cooperate, we will postpone this class to the following Sunday, January 22nd.  I prefer my students in one piece!

So hit that PayPal button below and reserve your seat!  The only necessary tool needed would be your Craft-Dee BowZ tool.  Your normal class kit is always expected.

Remember, seating is limited -- this will change greatly at my new home!

I look forward to seeing you all!  

Christmas Card Extravaganza!

DATE:  Sunday, December 11
TIME:  1PM - 4PM
COST:  $25

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to all!  Thanks for stopping by my little blog today to see what fun projects we have to help you jump start your holiday card making.  I've got some treats for you -- some are a repetition of one we did months ago, but everyone loved the idea of the Magic Window Slider card, so I put two of them into this card making extravaganza as well as some other fun cards.

Check  all these fun projects and plan to spend at least three hours with us. Our day will include a small Christmas snack buffet to keep you going - we can even sing Christmas Carols if you like!

Hope to see you!

Wine bottle sleeve and topper

DAY:  SUNDAY
DATE:  November 27th
TIME:  1pm to 3pm
COST:  $15

It's that time of the year!  Thanksgiving is fast approaching and before we know it, Christmas will be here.  I don't know about you, but I love bringing a nice bottle of wine to my host/hostess no matter what the time of year.  Instead of buying those fancy, shmancy bottle bags ($$ ka-ching!) or that ugly brown bag (been there, done that! - how tacky!), you can create your own special bottle sleeve and what a conversation piece this is!  When people receive their bottle of wine. they don't want to take it out of this pretty packaging.  Psst!  Tell them they are reusable!  It doesn't get any better than that!  

So without further rhetoric, here are pics of a bottle sleeve you will be creating in my next class.  We will also be making a bottle topper (see third picture) which is geared for the holidays.  Once you learn how to create these wonderful gift wraps, you'll be making them all the time - they're that simple!

Check out the top of this sleeve!  Is that not the cutest?

And just to shake it up a bit, you'll also be creating a similar looking bottle topper as seen below:

Now before you say anything, YES the bottle is empty!  Something had to sustain me after all this creativity!

So won't you join me on Sunday, November 27th and we will sit and create some fun projects together.  Simply hit the PayPal button below to reserve your seat.  Remember, we have very limited seating!  

Using Your Dies More Effectively

DATE:  Friday, November 11
TIME:  7 - 9 PM
COST:  $20

Hi y'all (that's the accent I picked up from Tennessee)!  It's been a wild ride these past weeks and I wanted to put a quick class together for you before the holidays are upon us.  And what better way than with these three fun projects.

Purchasing dies can be an expensive habit and getting the most from them is important.  Come learn how we used some dies in a little unorthodox way.  Here's what's coming up:

Come have fun with us as we create these Fall inspired projects with one actually segueing into Christmas.  Remember, seating is very limited and I will have very few kits available if you are unable to make it to the actual class.  The kit is $20.

So tap on that PayPal button below and reserve your spot on Friday, November 11th from 7 to 9pm!

It's a card, it's an envelope....

DATE:  Friday, September 23rd
TIME:  7pm to 9pm
COST:  $20

It's both!  All in one and so elegant and fun to make!  You will learn some very simple folds using one sheet of paper to create this unusual project.  Add a few flowers and trim and you have a wonderful "card" for enclosing a gift card or a  note to someone very special.

Join me on Friday, September 23rd at 7pm.  You will also learn how to create many different types of flowers to adorn both these projects.  Please make note of the price for this class.  Click on the Paypal Button below to reserve your spot.

Learning lattice work

DATE:   PLEASE NOTE TWO DATES THAT THIS CLASS IS BEING OFFERED 
                THURSDAY DAY:  1PM TO 3PM
                FRIDAY NITE:  7PM TO 9PM
COST:    $15.00


Happy hot summer to you all! Whew! it certainly has been a doozy these past few weeks. Just wrapping my brain around something creative has been a struggle. BUT~~~I did it! I think I've found a really fun project for you that you will duplicate again and again. I'll be teaching you how to create your own lattice work and translate that to your card making endeavors. With a template and a few snips of your scissors, you'll be creating some very inspiring and easy cards. Let's show you what you'll be doing.


This first card is a side opening lattice (sorry, the ribbon tail is hiding the lattice work).

This next card is a center lattice with a beautiful double color, double loop bow created on your Craft-Dee BowZ tool (you may want to bring it with you!).

So I got to thinking, if I can create a side opening lattice and a center lattice, why not try a top opening lattice?  You will learn how to color your ribbon to match your theme with this card.

You may have notice above that I am offering this class as a day class as well as a night class.  I am trying to create convenience within our busy summer schedules.  

So here's the deal -- you MUST, MUST specify which class you are attending - day or evening when you notify me.  I will provide you with two paypal buttons below labeled accordingly.  Or, you can email me at deedee.maligno@gmail.com if that is more convenient.

Come on, lattice have some fun (no groaning, please!).
