Not Just An Ordinary Card Class…

Our next Class is on Monday 21st at 10am on Card Making. We will repeat this class on Friday night if we have the interest. We will be completing 3 card fronts an learning many techniques. I’m considering making this a regular occurrence so we can cover many techniques and many styles of cards. One of my favorites is box cards.

Many of these techniques can cross over into your mini albums and 12×12 layouts.

Three different types of die cutting machines will be available. Cuttlebug, Grand Calibur and the Bigshot.

Need
Gloves if you prefer not to get your hands looking colorful.
Apron if you like to get down and dirty with your product.

All other equipment that is needed is provided

Drinks & Cabinet food are available for purchase if you require something for lunch.

The class is $30. Please contact to book your position.

Tuesday 22nd at 10am we will have a Magic Of Brayering, Blending & Sprays class.

You will be trying out Tattered Angels Mists, Perfect Pearl Mists & Lindys Stamp Gang Sprays. We will also be using Rainbow ink pads, Distress inks and Adirondack ink pads to brayer backgrounds.

You will also get to experience Glimmer Glam and Glimmer Glaze.

Cost is $30

If there is enough interest this can be repeated on a Friday night.

Below is an example of some Incomplete brayered backgrounds

Well the baby of the family is turning 16 today. I wanted to make a masculine card suitable for any guy in your life. I later added Tim Holtz flourishes that had been embossed with dark green UTEE to the strips on the front. They look like green stone. Love how they turned out.

Hi guys.
Sorry Ive been MIA lately but here Im uploading the process of making this album for one of my sons. Had to do it in several parts as there were a number of videos to edit and the upload would have taken way too long.
Please let me know what you think.
