APRIL CLASS SCHEDULE

2021

Saturday was a fun Preview Day.  Lisa's April card classes are really wonderful and if you are a card maker, you'll enjoy those.  She has a tri-fold album and a master page class on the schedule too!  Our "Take 'n Make" kit to go was a hit.  I didn't even have time to post it on Instagram or Facebook before the beginning of the day.  But here it is.....

Those butterflies and saying are stamped in black Versafine Clair on white.  The butterflies also have diamond stickles and glossy accents applied to the wings and body and they are gorgeous. Stamps are by Catherine Pooler.  Sentiment is on a die cut label from the Tim Holtz Labels thinlit dies collection.

Spoiler Alert!  We are going to up the class enrollment!  We feel we can now safely seat 2 more students in classes so we are increasing class size from 6 to 8.  We also feel we are ready to safely resume our traditional Make 'n Take and this month you will Make instead of Take!

Without further ado.... here is the April class schedule.  I know that you'll find a great class just right for you.

All Occasion Cards - $30

Thursday, April 1

10:30 am OR 6 pm

Create a group of fun cheerful cards suitable for any occasion you can imagine!  You'll use lots of brand new dies and stamps from Hero Arts and PinkFresh.  You'll be creating even more exciting cards using the new techniques you learn in this class.

Master Page Create - $35

Tuesday, April 6

10:30 am OR 6 pm

This class is a favorite among those who enjoy creating just for the joy of making art.  We haven't done one in a very long time and both Lisa and I were itching to make a new one.  Master pages make the best backgrounds for cards and projects.  Expect to see something you can make with your master page in May.  I promise you'll have a blast.

Vintage Garden Cards - $35

Thursday, April 15

10:30 am OR 6 pm

Simple Stories has created another fabulous vintage collection and I know you'll want to make these cards.  The paper is absolutely perfect.  You'll also be using some new dies from Catherine Pooler and PinkFresh as well as a great new stamp set featuring wonderful faith based sentiments.

RESCHEDULED - JUNE - DATE YET UNKOWN

10:30 am OR 6 pm

*you will need to purchase the G45 Folio separately from the store

Last month Lisa had created this wonderful folio but there was no space for it.  She wasn't sure there would be any interest in it, so we put it on display and took names....  Well, 9 people said they were interested, so now it's on the schedule.  We are using a new waterfall folio by Graphic 45 along with their beautiful paper collection called "Blossom".  This wonderful folio gives you 2 waterfalls for photos and journaling.  This would make a wonderful gift for anyone.

 March 2021 Class Schedule

We had a great time Saturday during Preview Day.  It was such a treat to see so many good friends, make some new ones, and visit with everyone.  The Take 'n Make Kit to Go was a big hit and we handed all of them out.  I am hoping now that so many have had their vaccines we'll be able to go back to our traditional Make 'n Takes very soon.  Anyhoo..... here is the really cute card that was supplied for us by Impression Obsession.  I still have a few stamps left and will be ordering more of the die for the boots if anyone asks.

   It really was a hit.  And I am really really glad we figured out how to offer our FREE Make 'n Take during the pandemic.

Lisa has a great class schedule for this month.  I am including this week's class although by the time you read this it will be too late to enroll.  I did post it on Facebook last week as well as send out a special email about it so I hope you saw it there if you wanted to take this class.

Here's the schedule!

Hello Spring!

$30

Thursday, March 4

10:30 am OR 6 pm

Spring is in the air!  Yes.... after all this snow, you know it is right around the corner.  Echo Park has a new paper collection simply called "Spring" and Lisa came up with these adorable cards using some of her scraps and the 6x6 paper pad.  The actual card is tucked inside the pocket of an A2 sized piece of card stock.  These cards are so easy to make and you'll want to make lots of them when you realize how quickly they can be made.

Easter Greetings

$30

Thursday, March 11 - 10:30 am OR 6 pm

Friday, March 12 - 10:30 am

Easter snuck up on us this month...  and this class was so popular on Preview Day that we had to add a Friday morning class!  Stamps and papers were slow to arrive, but Lisa has created some wonderful cards using rubber stamps from Impression Obsession and a set of clear stamps from Echo Park.  Impression Obsession has created the best "layering" slimline stamps and Lisa knows just how to do it!  Two cards have creative cut outs and I know you'll love making these.

Blooming Stencils

$30

Thursday, March 18 - 10:30 am OR 6 pm

Friday, March 19 - 10:30 am

This card class was also so popular on Preview Day that we had to add a Friday morning class!  Don't miss out on this class.  This is a very new technique brought to us by PinkFresh.  I learned how to make the tall white card with the wreath and hello on it in a retailers trade show.  After teaching it to Lisa, she went to town using additional PinkFresh products.  This class uses STENCILS to create the multi-colored images.  That's right....stencils!  And there are matching dies for quite a few of them that are easy to line up.  You will definately want to learn how to make these cards.....

Art Journal Play

$30

Saturday, March 27
