Be Mine

I have loved this card from the moment I saw it.  (Of course, my nickname is "HoneyBee", so....)

I love the simple elegance, and the way Gayle created the open space within the embossing folder.  Saves on layers!!! 

The space is created by using one of the shapes in the Easy Frames collection of embossing frames - the kit has 7 to choose from.  Versatile and oh so easy to use!

Stop in this Wednesday any time between 10 & 8 to make one of these stunners to share.  It's as sweet as honey!

"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. 

I miss you!

Needing to send a special card to a friend far away? How about a new college student?  Or someone serving on deployment?  There are dozens of people who would LOVE to know you're thinking of them - and this card is an adorable way to do that! 

Join us for our FREE make-and-take card this Wednesday between 10 & 8.  We're using our favorite LOCAL designer, Eileen Hull's embossing folder - created for Sizzix.  You don't need a reservation - just come on over.  We'll see you there!

And now for something Completely Different

Our Technique Tag Tuesdays typically feature (...wait for it...) a tag!  But this Tuesday, in anticipation of our fabulous House Gift Card Holder class on June 21, Jenn will be showing you how to make this adorable gift card holder featuring a different Scoreboard die.  Scoreboards are dies made by Sizzix and designed by Eileen Hull, a local artist who will be here leading our workshop on June 21.  We are so fortunate to have so many talented artists in the area who are willing to share their knowledge and talents with us.  Eileen usually teaches at the HUGE tradeshows and conventions like CHA.  So, with Gift Card season officially here (graduations and weddings galore), don't miss this chance to make adorable Gift Card presentations beginning this Tuesday, with the free demo from 12-2, and then register for Eileen's class on June 21 and see how much fun Scoreboards can be!

(This is a photo of the House Gift Card Holder class on June 21, taught by the designer herself - Eileen Hull).  Reserve your space today!

New from Hero Arts!

I think one of Jenn's favorite things about leading our Technique Tag Tuesdays is that she gets first dibs on all the newest product. She was standing next to me when we opened the box of brand new Hero sets featuring coordinating dies from Sizzix. Stamp/die combos are so popular now, you can almost forget about all that time you spent cutting things out. Wow! If you've never tried lining the dies up before, you need to stop in Tuesday between 12 and 2 and let Jenn show you how easy it is. And, like all of our demos, you won't leave without giving it a try yourself! See you then!
