Accordion Fold Cards

DATE:  Sunday, March 16th

TIME:  12:30 - 2:30

COST:  $25

And we are off to yet another fun folded card!  I really enjoyed creating these cards and all the while thinking how many different occasions they can be used for.  I'm talking about these fun accordion front fold cards.

I've created two A2 size and then re-sized them for an A6 card size.  Here's what we'll be making:

This first card is shown both open and closed.  The other two cards are created the same way, I have just not shown them opened.

I have two openings left in this class.  You know the drill:  text, email, phone, write, carrier pigeon... to secure a spot.

As always, I look forward to seeing you all.

 

All That Glitters

DATE:  Sunday, February 16th

TIME:  12:30 - 2:30

COST:  $25

YIKES!  Here we are in mid February already.  We've seen some of the white stuff and will likely see more.  As you know, if it snows on class day, I automatically push the date to the next Sunday.  We've been lucky so far!

I love glitter and shine, don't you?  In this next class I'll show you how to get some shine using three different methods.  Nope, no glitter in sight!  We'll be using double-sided tape and foil for one card, some lovely mirror card stock for another and some lovely, sparkly vinyl for the third.  Here are the projects;

I did have a 4th card ready, but do you think I can find the dies that go with it?  I will continue to search and if I find them, we will do a 4th card.  

As mentioned in the newsletter, there are some tools you need to bring with you, so be sure to check it out.

See you soon unless it snows!

Layered Washi Tape Cards

DATE:  Sunday, February 2nd

TIME:  12:30 - 2:30

COST:  $25

Well here we are starting February already!  This could be the snow month, so keep your eyes peeled on the weather.  As always, if it snows on a class date, the class will automatically be pushed to the following Sunday.  

Have I got a great class for you!  I came across this washi tape by Aall and Create (you can purchase thru Scrapbook.com) and I just had to try it.  And as you can you imagine, I had to turn it into a class! I know you're as shocked as I am (NOT!).  There are many images to choose from and these just struck a chord with me (pssst! I also bought others but these are what you'll be using).

I have three lovely cards for you in no particular order (do you think the Milleniums know what this image  is on the first card???)...

Love how this next one went together...

And how about a circle card?...

As mentioned in the newsletter, you'll only need two ink colors and applicators and your Craft-Dee BowZ tool.  There are still a few openings in the class -- you know the drill to reserve your spot.

Pray for no snow and I'll see you all on 2/2!

VALENTINES CARDS

DATE:  Sunday, January 19th

TIME:  12:30 - 2:30

COST:  $25

Rolling right along this month!  I get a feeling that 2025 is going to fly on falcon wings!  So we will get a jump on Valentines Day cards with this class.  I've kept our first two classes fairly basic but things will start to ramp up in complexity as we go along. 

I've got class projects all set thru the end of April and I just thought of a great project for May!  There are days when I'd like to shut my brain down, but that would be counter-productive now, wouldn't it?  So here are our simple Valentine cards in no particular order.  You'll notice I opted to stray from red and pink and go into the purples for a change.

Here's one with some glitter paper and fancy letter dies...

And here's one all tied up with a bow...

And here's the purple/lavender one using heart punches in a different way...

Don't forget to check the newsletter for "what to bring to class".  As mentioned in the newsletter, there are still some openings left, so email, text, carrier pigeon, call... to reserve your spot!

See you soon!

Another Fun Fold

DATE:  Sunday, January 5th

TIME:  12:30 - 2:30

COST: $25

Well Happy New Year to all!  I'm sure it's been a whirlwind for all of you and I, for one, am happy it's over and done with.  So much prep, so much cooking, so much eating...!  

I am looking forward to a fun 2025 with you ladies and have been happily creating classes for you.  I've gotten my Mojo back and sat down one day and completed classes thru mid-April.  Wowza!

Our first class of the new year will be a very simple one. These cards will have a fun fold, but the bonus will be that they will give you an idea how to use up those preciously hoarded designer papers!  We do love our lovely papers, but I know with me, I almost hate to use them because they are so pretty!  Crazy, I know!

So here are the three cards we will be creating to start of 2025.  In no particular order...

Funny, I just realized I used polka dots in all three!  All you need is your regular class kit for these cards.  I still have a few openings, so send me an email, text, phone call etc. and reserve your spot.

I am soooo looking forward to seeing you all.

Paper Ribbon Technique

 DATE:  Sunday, December 1st

TIME:  12:30 - 2:30

COST:  $25

Another year just flew by.  I'm having a hard time adjusting to the fact that Christmas is in just four weeks!  So let's get those last minute Christmas cards created and mailed.  

Our last class of '24 will feature another technique.  I love this easy, fun, different technique and I know you will too.  So in no particular order, the following are the project we will be creating...

Using Christmas themed designer paper, some sparkly stuff and an embossing folder, you'll put this card together in no time!

Again, some sparkly stuff and pretty designer paper completes this card.

This photo does not do this card justice color-wise.  It's really a coordination of lovely blues and sparkly stuff.  I guess you'll just have to come to class to see!

I look forward (with a little sadness too) to our last class of 2024.  We will resume the creativity Sundays in January, so don't despair.

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and we'll see you soon.

Polar Bear Christmas

 DATE:  SUNDAY, November 19th

TIME:  12:30 - 2:30 (or so)

COST:  $25

Here we are in mid-November - would someone PLEASE slow the world down!  Pretty soon we'll be in the clutches of holidays, parties, cooking, etc.  And the days go by so quickly!

To help you with your Christmas card projects, our last two classes will include a total of six more cards that you can add to your list.  This class involves more whimsical cards using polar bears.  We'll be using wobbles, sliders, and wet and dry embossing for this class.  No special supplies needed other than Copics or markers to color the hats and scarves for the polar bears.

So, in no particular order, here are this class' projects:

I think you'll enjoy this class using several techniques - nothing you haven't done before and easy, peasy!  There are still a few openings in this class, so contact me by Wednesday, 11/13 the latest, to reserve your spot.  I have a really crazy week coming up and a ton of die cutting for this class so early sign-up is important.  Thanks for understanding.

See you soon!
