Fall is here, and there are so many things to be greatful for. Why not come in on Wednesday, November 18th anytime between 10am-8:45pm to make a free card celebrating your blessings.

Stamping with Gelli Plates for Neatnicks :-)

Last week, we got messy by stamping with the all-new mini Gelli Plates.  This week, we're going to try it again - this time with Ink Pads!!!  This is a totally neat (non-messy but also cool) way to use your mini Gelli Plates as solid stamps - great for creating backgrounds and frames.

In the past, we've been told not to use ink pads on Gelli Plates because they cause staining.  But now, there's a way to clean them off - and it doesn't harm them at all!

Join Angela Tuesday between 12 & 2 and find out more.  You are gonna love how quick and CLEAN this process is!

Fall Shimmer!

This card is impossible to fully appreciate until you hold it in person!  A couple of years ago, Tsukineko introduced the most brilliant metallic inkpad in silver and gold called Delicata.  It is a metallic ink that actually dries in a reasonable amount of time (unheard of!), and it almost has a raised appearance - like you lightly embossed it.  Simply stunning!

Well, hold on your your hats, because they have just released this same yummy formula in Bronze and Copper - and they are available in a convenient 4-pack mini-case.  Great for storage!

Stop in this Wednesday between 10 and 8 to really see how stunning this ink is (and to make a card for yourself, of course).  We'll see you there!

Last week: Pie. This week: Gelli :-)

The new mini Gelli plates are so much fun!  They are the perfect size for mounting to an acrylic block and using as a stamp!  Quick and easy fun.  For one of the cards pictured below, I added texture with a stencil.  For the other, I "kissed" the plate with an embossed piece of card stock.  Are you intrigued?  Have you always wanted to try Gelli Plates but were intimidated by the size and concept?  If so, this demo is perfect for you.  Stop in Tuesday between 12 & 2 and give them a try.  But I warn you - they are addictive :-)

New MFT!

We absolutely love the new My Favorite Things release and know you will too! If you get a chance, stop by the store this weekend and take a look.

MMMMMM Pie!

As we turn our thoughts to being thankful....I must admit I'm thankful for pumpkin flavored everything - especially pie!

Join us Wednesday any time between 10 & 8 to create this adorable fall card featuring stamps from Artful Stamper and Impression Obsession and fabulous sequins to add "flavor".

Painting with Embossing Powder

I have to admit - this is one of my favorite Learn at Lunch cards I've ever made, and I've done over 100 demos!!!!

This card features a brand new stamp from Memory Box, and 4 colors of embossing powder from Stamp-a-Mania to create this lovely fall collage. 

Join me Tuesday between 12 & 2 to see how easy this is.  I can pretty much guarantee you will love this as much as I do! 

Memory Box and Poppystamps

So many new dies....and stamps! I am sharing some card ideas to help inspire you in using the new products we received at the store. Of course, I had to start with one of my own cards:

Check out the ornaments you can make with the new dies. They even punch the holes for easy stitching:
