Fun with scrap strips

 DATE:  Sunday, August 19th

TIME:  12:30 to 2:30 (or later)

COST:  $20

Well here we are mid August -- where has the summer gone and what summer?  It's been a strange one to be sure.  As mentioned in the newsletter, throwing scraps away gives me acid reflux.  I'm always trimming something and am left with all lengths of strips.  A new sensation in card making has everyone using their strips for card covers or die cutting and, hey, while we're at it, embossing!  There are so many different ways to use these strips.

Our next class will focus on some simple but varied ways of using them.  In order to keep the class moving at a decent pace, I've created three cards for which I will control the colors of the strips.  Your last card with be a free-for-all.  I'll put a jug of strips in the middle of the table and you can choose whatever you'd like for your color combos.  There's no right or wrong way with this technique -- I guess that's why I love it so much.  So here are the samples of cards we'll be doing.  Color combos will vary from the samples.

In the next sample, the card on the left will be a controlled one as well.  The card on the left will be free form.  I can't wait to see what you do!

So are you ready for some fun?  You'll need your usual tool kit (no scoreboard necessary) with particular attention to your double sided tape and glue.  That's it!  Compared to last week's class (let's not go there!), this is a breeze for supplies.

As always, I look forward to seeing you on the 19th.
