In the Mood for Shopping!

Need a wonderful, all-occasion card?  Stop in this Wednesday between 10 & 8 and create this "stinkin' cute" card to encourage someone!!!

The image is highlighted by the popular embossed dot cardstock from Bazzill and embellished with an adorable die from the Paper Smooches set.

Quick, easy and cute!  The trifecta!  See you there!

Reverse Dies and iZincs!

It's a PARTY!  Join Angela this Tuesday between 12 & 2 for a FREE demo featuring "reverse dies".  Instead of cutting out images that are then adhered to a card, reverse dies cut pieces of the card away, revealing whatever is beneath.

We'll have some fun creating the "beneath" as well.  This background was made with iZincs (when you see it in person, it really shimmers).  Angela will also bring her Color Bursts, if you'd like to play with those as well.

And, adding extra texture, the card base is the fabulous Dot Paper from Bazzill. 

So, what are you waiting for?  Come and party with us!

It's NOT taxing!

First of all, can I just tell you how much I love this stamp?  It's elegant, but quick to color - AND it's half-price this month because it's the Stamp of the Month from Great Impression.  You can't beat that!!!

I colored each of these cards with the Irojiten Pencils from Tombo.  Can you see that swatch of black card stock?  I colored it with the Neon pencils, and they showed up beautifully.  Plus, the Neon colors actually glow in the dark under a black light - Elvis anyone?!?!

I love these pencils because they are part-oil, part-wax, so they are firmer to work with and don't leave a waxy build-up.  And, you can blend them with a Dove blender.  Stop in Tuesday between 12 & 2 and try them for yourself.  I think you'll be very pleasantly surprised!

Oh Christmas Tree!

I LOVE the use of non-traditional colors at Christmas!  Look at how stunning this card is!  (And how quick and easy it is to replicate - a bonus if you have lots of cards to send).  This card features a die from Impression Obsession, and mirror and metallic papers and ribbon.  I think that's a fabulous way to add holiday shimmer, without having to wait for Glitter Glue to dry!!!  Join us Thursday anytime between 10 - 8 to make one of these beauties for yourself!  See you then!

Get Inspired!

The November Board of the Month from Inky Antics features several inspirational clear stamp sets (make sure you bring your camera as the card samples are incredible)! We are using one of the sets to create this wonderful all-occasion card. We're also using the new embossed card stock from Bazzill. This paper is printed on white core card stock, so you can scruff off the embossed images to really make them stand out! Come see the different colors and embossed designs! This card is available for you to make FREE between 10 and 8 on Thursday. See you then!

You Can't Resist!

Ugh! I think I have taken the title from my high school band director as the worst pun maker ever! Sorry to inflict that on you all! Anyway, it's quite EASY to create resists using this new embossed chipboard from Bazzill. (It comes in several different designs, so come check them out). Join Jenn tomorrow between 12 and 2 and play - she used Adirondack Color Wash sprays, but you could use virtually anything to create beautiful resist effects - and the best part is the work is already done for you! Fun and easy!

Happy Columbus Day!

It's a federal holiday, but we are open! And, we are getting ready for tomorrow's Learn at Lunch, where Jenn will be sharing techniques for working with Bazzill's new Jewel Templates. Use their self-adhesive gems to create all kinds of designs - bling it up! Jenn will be working with the clear gems, and also showing you how to create your own colors by using your Copic makers (as she did in the "joy" card shown). Stop in between 12-2 on Tuesday and see how easy it is to add a lot of sparkle to your projects!
