Upcoming Classes

Summer is a great time to treat yourself to a class.  Sit inside, enjoy the air conditioning, relax, and let someone prep and clean up after you.  We have several classes this week that you might want to take.

This Sunday, Laura will be teaching her 10 in 10 quick and easy beach card class.  You will leave with 10 completed cards and envelopes to use for birthdays, thinking of you cards or general occasions.

Galaxy cards are so trendy right now, and Kathy has an upcoming galaxy background class that will allow you to make six backgrounds to pair with various die cuts.

Saturday Class and new Arrivals

If you havent taken an Art Imressions Watercolor class, you do not want to miss the one this Saturday!  You will make three projects with three instructors, so you will have tons of personal attention.  The Art Impressions techniques are rather simple but make the most elegant and gorgeous cards.  Here is what you will be making:

ColorBurst Powders and Wednesday MITI

Hi guys.  There is no picture for the free Make and Take tomorrow.  There was a problem with the die and a new card is being designed and prepped tonight.  Don't worry....there will still be a make and take on Wednesday, July 26th, so join us anytime between 10am-8:30pm.  The design will be a surprise and what is better than a surprise, except perhaps a free surprise?

 

We have also restocked all the Colorburst powders, including the newest release of colors.  Colorburst powders make absolutely stunning backgrounds and can be combined with stamps, dies or stencils.

Waste not, make art!

It is hard to see the intricate detail in this card, so why not stop in and take a look!

This is the next installment of our FREE Learn at Lunch demos - Tuesday, July 25 between 12 & 2 pm.  Let Angela show you how to make use of your layering rectangle dies to make frames that can be filled with a "modified iris folding" technique.  This is a great way to make use of all those scraps of paper you've been saving, and also use your layering dies in a new way!  Plus, it makes for a really interesting birthday or baby or shower or anytime card (simply change out the colors of paper).

See you there!

Wednesday Free Make and Take

Our free make and take this week is a birthday card and fearures a really sweet image from WPlus9. Who couldn't use an extra birthday card in their stash? The technique you will get to practice is coloring with Prismacolor Pencils.  Join us Wednesday, July 19th anytime between 10am-8:30pm to make yours! 

You'll be BURSTING with joy!

Join Angela this Tuesday between 12 & 2 and get inky!  Angela will be showing you how much fun it is to combine Color Bursts with the Liquid Metals and Mineral Burst products from Ken Oliver.

All of these products are very reactive with water, but the Liquid Metals & Mineral Bursts have a stunning metallic shimmer that will enliven all of your projects.

Plus, it's just fun, fun, fun!!!!!

The demos are FREE so make it a point to join us!

New Papers

Hi guys, we have four new collections of paper that we think you are going to love.  Two are for the Fall/Halloween, one is for Christmas, and one has a camping theme.  I am not going to post pictures of every piece of paper since that would be close to 50 pictures.  However, I will post a few so that you can get a feel for each collection.  There are also 6" x 6" packs available for each line in addition to the 12" x 12" papers.  The camping collection also has amazing coordinating washi tapes.
