Winter Wonderland

Sometimes it's challenging to start thinking about the holidays when the weather is so unbelievably nice!  But good weather or not, the holidays are approaching!

Join Angela this Tuesday between 12 & 2 for a dose of winter magic!  You will be playing with several of the Memory Box Snow globe stamps to create a wintry scene - and you'll get tips for making the card as easy or ornate as you wish (depending on how many cards you ultimately need to make).  We love dies with flexibility!

The elegance of the Kaiser paper (with a golden snowflake sky) adds to the card - but you could easily replace the paper with blue for a "cooler" effect.

As always, the demos are FREE  and no reservation is required.  See you there!

Coloring Meditation!

Join Angela tomorrow (Tuesday) between 12 & 2 for a little coloring meditation.  We've been telling you for years how good this hobby is for your mental health and well-being.  Turns out - we were right :-)

Come play with the KaiserCraft gel pen collection.  This set comes with 12 pastels and 12 Glitter pens - and they dry quickly!  They have fine tips, so they are best in small spaces.  Come and color - you'll leave relaxed!

Christmas in June!

Since we haven't had nearly as many days of unbearable heat so far this summer, maybe it won't be as hard to start thinking about Christmas cards and projects! We've got a bit of a head start! We just received this adorable sample board (all the cards are interactive - so so cute) and all the stamps needed to recreate them. We also received the new collection of Christmas themed paper from Kaiser Craft called Holly Bright. It features traditional colors and images with some foil accents in the handy 6x6 collection packs as well as 12x12 sheets.

To keep you motivated, check back at the shop often for more Christmas goodies. We know that Memory Box is planning to ship their HUGE Christmas and Halloween release on July 1, so it will be arriving soon as well.

Need a little early Christmas present for yourself? How about the brand new Level 4 Copic book?

Topics covered in the book include contrast, light sources, shadows, highlights, textures, mixing custom colors, using multiliners, creating backgrounds, and watercoloring with Copics. There are tons of samples and the book even includes a free cd so that you can have extra images to practice all of the techniques!
