Step cards

Class Date:  Friday July 10th from 7-9pm
Price:  $18  (please note price of this class)

Step cards are so much fun to create and in this class you will receive full written instructions on how to make your own instead of going out and buying pre-made cards.  This way, you can make your card in whatever color palette you choose.

We will be creating three different step cards:  Center Step, Side Step and Reverse Center Step.  Here they are in that order.

This card has a large center panel on which to build your accessories.

This is the side step card.  You can place your steps to the right or to the left using the same formula.  (I don't think this little birdie is going to have a 'tweet birthday', but all those kitties are!

This is the reverse center step card with a cute and playful little whale.

This class is up there with the Stair Step card we did.  The ladies who attended that class are still talking about it and have created that card quite a few times since.  So don't miss out on the know-how and sign up for this fun and fabulous class!

PLEASE NOTE:   the cost of this class is $18.00

Tri-fold cards

Date:  Friday, June 12 from 7pm to 9pm

Cost:  $15

Hello crafters!  I have another special treat for you on this Friday evening class.  We will be creating a trifold card using a Penny Black Doll for one card and I've designed another similar one for the gents (minus the doll, of course) - REAL men don't play with dolls!

Card opened up...

And for the gentlemen!... (please pardon the blue fingernail)

Opened up....

As always, sign-ups have already begun.  This is a great card just in time for Father's day (using a different sentiment, of course!).

CLASS DATE:  Friday, June 19th from 7 to 9 pm
Cost:  $15

Our second class for the month of June is a technique driven class.  Quite a few of you have requested that we re-visit using embossing paste and stencils.  We'll be using different pastes, types of stencils (brass and plastic) and incorporating inks into the projects.  The following are just two examples of what we'll be covering.

Flip-Flop Booklet

Date:  Sunday, May 17th from 1-3pm
Cost:  $15

Well here we are in the merry month of May with glorious weather.  It just doesn't get any better than this!  For my next class we will be creating two adorable Flip-Flop Booklets - one girly and one for the guys (graduation is coming as is Father's Day).

These are adorable and you can see the size by the tweezers I placed in front of the girly booklet.  Cute!

The above is created using different quotes, but you can substitute anything - even gift cards!

The above would be for the gentlemen.  See the cute mustache closures?  

These are fun little gift items for any occasion.  So don't hesitate and click the PayPal Button below or email me at deedee.maligno@gmail.com to reserve your spot.

Cards that move

DATE:  Sunday, April 26th from 1-3pm
COST:  $15

Everyone loves cards that move or open differently and I will have two fun and clever ones for you in this class.

Since Father's Day will be coming up sooner than we think, why not get a jump on getting that special card done?  It doesn't have to be for Father's Day, but for a birthday (as the sample) and is a great masculine card.  This style can be changed up to reflect any occasion making it feminine as well (basket of flowers for the bicycle?).  Creating this style card alone will give you hours of pleasure and pique your imagination.

Then we have the flip card done a little differently.  Again, for any occasion.

I look forward to "playing" with you once again.  I will try to have Chef Charles on hand to do his magic.  Hey, if he can get someone who HATES carrot cake to actually say, "this is really good!", then you just have to try some of his confections.

Flip Flop Booklet

DATE:  Sunday, May 17th from 1 to 3pm
COST:  $15

Hello everyone and Happy Spring!  Lordy I never thought it would get here.  We still have snow in some places believe it or not despite the 60 degree weather.  Go figure.

Well I thought I'd post your next class project here.  This is such a fun and easy project to create and I think it can be used in many different ways.  One suggestion is a gift for Mother's Day or Father's Day with a "promise-to-do" in each pocket.  It could be a spectacular gift card holder for several or all gift cards.  The list goes on and I'm sure you will think of something different.

So here are a few pics of the project we will be doing.  This first one is taken with a pair of tweezers with it to give you an idea of the size.  Cute?

This is how the book looks when it flip flops down:

And here's a pic of inspirational tags in each of the pockets.

This is a fun and easy class to do and if time permits, we will do another one just like it using different papers.  No promises as everyone works at a different pace.

Technique Class

DATE:  Friday,  April 17th  from 7pm to 9pm  
COST:  $15.00

Since my April seems to be overcrowded with commitments, I have changed our regular schedule to Friday, April 17th for this fun technique class.  You will enjoy creating these three cards and learning this new technique.  The theme on all three cards is a very general one, so these cards can be used in many different ways.

There are only 4 slots left in this class, so you might want to click on the Paypal button NOW to reserve your spot.

PLEASE NOTE:  you will need a very fine point stylus for this class.  I do have a few if you don't.

I wish you all a very Happy Easter in the meantime.

Date change

Date:  Saturday, March 28th from 1-3pm

Due to weather beyond our control, we have decided to repost our Imitation Leather class for another date.  Since the Sundays in April are pretty booked for me, we will be holding the Imitation Leather class on Saturday, March 28th from 1-3pm.

Here's a reminder of what I am offering.  You will learn how to create imitation leather in this class and I will show you different ways of making it.  You will go home with this notepad and some wonderful ideas of how to apply this technique.

So, MAKE NOTE of the new date:  Saturday, March 28th from 1-3pm.  The price of this class is $15 so click the PayPal button below or send me an email to reserve your seat (cat hairs on the seat are free and you may take them home with you -- just kidding!).

Be watching for the next class coming up which will also be another techniques class that you are going to love -- so easy and different!
