Fabulous Card Design

This "bow border" stamp by Avery Elle is so wonderfully versatile!  Change the color, and make it for any occasion you like.  By popping up the front panel, the card almost looks like a dimensional box.  And, the stamp set has a variety of different words to choose from, making it a wonderful addition to your collection.

Stop in this Wednesday any time between 10 & 9 to make one for yourself for FREE.  Also, we are having an end-of-the-year sale on Wednesday, all day.  The sale is 25% off your entire purchase, excluding Class Registrations, special orders and items already on hold and previously discounted items.

Don't miss all the fun!!!  See you Wednesday!

"Drop" what you're doing....

...and get in here to play with the Sizzix "Drop-in" dies!  Can you believe one die set can do so many things?  You can create Thank You, Birthday and "love" cards (think Valentine, Anniversary or even wedding) all with a single set!

And, you can also make photo frames with the word "love" or just the heart in the lower right corner.

So many possibilities and SOOOO easy to use.  Stop in Tuesday between 12 & 2 and try it for yourself.  As always, the demos are FREE and no reservation is required.

Masking with Molotow

Have you heard the buzz about the Molotow masking pen?  If you've never heard about it, allow us to introduce you!  If you've wondered about how challenging it is to work with - here's your chance to find out!

Join Angela Tuesday any time between 12 & 2 to play with this incredible masking fluid.  We'll use it to create the snowbank and also to highlight the snowflakes.  It's fairly quick drying and much easier to use than I originally thought. 

Plus, we'll play with new stamps and dies from Memory Box and Distress Stains to create our watercolor wash.  Come destress for a few minutes with us!
