May 2024

Class Schedule

Saturday was Preview Day and Lisa's class schedule for May was revealed with gusto!  We all had a great time and our FREE Make 'n Take was a hit.  It was a simple but elegant card appropriate for many occasions including sympathy, thinking of you, or just a note! Check it out!

 We used a die set called "Framed Wings" by Catherine Pooler, a script background by Penny Black and a sentiment from the Mommy & Me stamp set by Catherine Pooler.  The ink colors for the background stamp was WinterMint and the splatter was Sea Glass - both by Catherine Pooler.

As usual, Lisa's class schedule is really nice.  With 2 card classes and 2 mixed media classes, I think you'll find a class or two you can't pass up!

Here's what's on the schedule for May......

Art Girls House Accordian Book - $40

Thursday, May 2

10:30 am OR 6 pm

Mixed Media accordian books have come back around in popularity recently.  This house style is so cute and fun.  You'll be using ArtFoamies, stamps, papers, paints and more to create this book.  It folds up fairly flat and is easy to display.  You'll enjoy making it so much that you'll want to make even more.  These would be fun to do with your kids or grandkids.  The price for this class reflects the amount of kitting needed and that it will take a bit longer to create than most other classes.

Beauty in Nature - $35

Thursday, May 9

10:30 am OR 6 pm

Penny Black has always had a selection of "brush" images in their stamp collection.  These stamps make it easy to use watercolor techniques to make them look like you watercolored them from scratch without a stamp.  You will learn two techniques.  One uses an ink pad and regular watercolors and the other uses Dina Wakley's Scribble Sticks.  You'll enjoy learning both techniques!

Art Journal Saturday - $20

Saturday, May 11

9 am OR 1:30 pm

Lisa's sample for May's Art Journal Saturday was not quite ready for Preview Day on the date we published this blog post.  It should be ready by week's end.  It's scheduled a little earlier than usual but the store will be closed on the 25th for the Memorial Day weekend holiday.  This is our bargain class and sponsored by the store.  We guide you through the creation of your own unique interpretation of the sample we provide.  We teach you the steps we used but you get to choose the colors, stamps and/or stencils of your choice.  It's fun and helps to inspire your creativity.  No two spreads will be alike and it's so much fun to see how everyone else's art looks.  You'll learn as much from your table mates as you do from us!

Affirmation Cards in a Tin #2 - $35

Thursday, May 16

10:30 am OR 6 pm

April's Affirmation Cards in a Tin was such a success that Lisa was asked for more!  April's featured gel prints made in the class the week before and this one will feature a type of watercolor master page.  A tin is included with your class and there will be more tins available for purchase.  These cards are fun to give to family, friends and strangers who are having a bad day and need a little encouragement.  If you missed the first one, this one will be just as much fun.

Preview Day - FREE

Saturday, May 18

10 am to 4 pm

Come and Go

Wildflower Blooms - $35

Thursday, May 23

10:30 am OR 6 pm

The most recent release from Tim Holtz is really amazing.  Lisa fell in love with the "Forgotten Garden" stamp set and created these 4 beautiful cards.  You'll use a variety of inks, pens and pencils to create these amazing all occasion cards!

Memorial Day Weekend Holiday

Friday, May 24 - 27

Closed

TBA Class

Thursday, May 30

10:30 am OR 6 pm

"Let The Art Out of Your Heart and Create Every Day!"

march 19, 2024

 April 2024

Classes

Wow!  What a Preview Day we had on Saturday!  We had such a good time and our FREE Make 'n Take was definately a hit.  I have been eyeing the Spellbinders BetterPress LetterPress accessory for a while and finally decided to take the plunge and bring one in for a test spin.  Was I blown away by the detail and look of the impression the plates make.  I didn't have time to get any instore before Preview Day, but we took orders and I'll be placing that order immediately as a lot of our makers were also impressed.  If you didn't have a chance to come by Saturday, let me know next time you come in and I'll let you test it out for yourself.  In any case, here is the card we made for the Make 'n Take.....

                                        

Lisa has a GREAT class schedule for you in April.  I am sure there is at least one class you'll want to take and probably more. This schedule is a little heavy on cards, but every one of them is worth taking.  I think you'll have a hard time ruling any of them out.  

Faded Circles Backgrounds - $35

Thursday, April 4

10:30 am OR 6 pm

Bokeh made simple for cards!  Bokeh is that photography term for the light sparkles that sometimes show up in your photos.  You may have seen it as an application for your phone camera or the editing apps.  Lisa is teaching a new background that takes circles to the "bokeh" and you are going to love these cards.  They are a little bit dreamy and I think your friends and family will be impressed with your new skill! 

Stencil Possibilities - $35

Thursday, April 11

10:30 am OR 6 pm

Lisa used new geometric "window" stencils (and masks) in the Fun Kid's Card class and she is using them again in this class in a few different ways.  These stencils from Impression Obsession are quite versatile and I think you'll enjoy learning the new ways you can create with them.  We also received a few new Pooh (and Piglet) stamps from Impression Obsession that you'll be using as well.  I think you'll agree that these cards are fun and easy to make.

Mini Mixed Media Tag Book - $35

Thursday, April 18

10:30 OR 6 pm

Oh my goodness!  This tiny "art journal" notebook is so stinking cute.  Lisa was inspired by the 100 day art challenge but like me, just can't commit to 100 days.  She started thinking how she could participate without the commitment of 100 days.  Well, this little art journal is perfect.  Get ready to create a simple tag book with mixed media paper inside that can double as a notebook as well as an art journal.  You'll create a cover using a #10 tag and Distress Oxide sprays.  If time allows, you may even be able to create a little art inside before the class is over.

Preview Day - FREE

10 am to 4 pm

FREE Make 'n Take

Preview the May Class Schedule and enroll!

The third Saturday of the month is Preview Day.  We show off our class schedule for the following month and take enrollment for the classes you want to take.  We hope you enjoy our FREE Make 'n Take and that you will find something to add to your crafting stash on tables holding the lastest arrivals to the store.  Grab a friend and share the experience!  

Mother's Day, Birthday or Any Day Cards - $35

Thursday, April 25

10:30 am OR 6 pm

Create these wonderful cards that are perfect for just about any occasion.  Since Mother's Day is just around the corner, any of these cards could fill the bill! You'll use stamps, watercolor and a beautiful new 3D embossing folder.  

Art Journal Saturday - $20

Saturday, April 27

9 am OR 1:30 pm

Art Journaling is so much fun and even more fun when you get to spend time creating with other artists.  This is our bargain class where we guide you through the process used to create the sample art Lisa or I (Maura) created.  You bring the art journal and a basic art kit and we provide the rest.  Every color or style of the products we used are provided and no two art journal pieces will be the same. 

That's the schedule for April.  Here are a few more details.

March 2024

Class Schedule

We had a very busy Preview Day last Saturday.  It was certainly a lot of fun and everyone seemed to be having a good time.  The Make 'n Take was a sweet Spring Card using a stamp set by Hero Arts and paper from the Love Notes collection by Echo Park.  

This time we had enough paper to create some kits that contained enough precut card stock, A2 greeting card and envelope for purchase.  We sold out of those kits but I believe I have enough card stock to create about 5 more sets which will be packed and available with the stamp set and instructions on Thursday.

Lisa has a fun class schedule this month.  I finally got the Art Journal Sample for this month done and you have until Friday noon to enroll as it will be taught Saturday.

Here's Lisa's schedule!

Leaf Print Cards - $35

Thursday, March 7

10:30 am OR 6 pm

There are a lot of cards in this class!  But they are beautiful and and each card has a unique look.  She is using 2 different stamp sets from Altenew that make dreamy cards.  She is also using Distress Oxide Inks, Cosmic Shimmer watercolors and Catherine Pooler's new Gold Ink Pad.  You'll learn a lot and have a lot of fun in this class!

Fun Kid Cards - $35

Thursday, March 14

10:30 am OR 6 pm

There has been some interest in cards for the littles in your life and these cards will bring a smile to kids of any age (including your elders!)  These bright and colorful cards are made using a variety of mediums and new stencils from Impression Obsession.  The stamps are from a new company we have added to the inventory this year called AALL & Create.

Gel Print Fun - $35

Gel prints are versatile and have a variety of uses including card backgrounds, collage fodder and handmade books. The class the following week uses gel prints and you will definately have a good time putting them to use. You don't have to be an artist to make these prints.  All you need is a spirit of adventure!

Art Journal Saturday - $20

Saturday, March 23

9 am OR 1:30 pm

 

This is our bargain class.  The class fee covers the cost of the products we use in each class and there is no instructor fee added.  This is a class that Lisa and I share teaching.  We get to create art for the sake of art.  It's fun for us and it helps us learn how to use the products found around the store.  We guide you through the process we used and you get to experience what we learned along the way.  You bring an art journal, canvas or something to create and a basic art kit.  We supply the rest!

Affirmation Cards in a Tin - $35

Thursday, March 28th

10:30 am OR 6 pm

Here is the opportunity to use what you made in the last class "Gel Print Fun".  Lisa will share lots of stamps and supplies for you to use making these sweet cards that can be a reminder of how good life can be or encouragement cards for someone in need.  These cards are also perfectly sized to use as part of a greeting card. You will enjoy this class even if you didn't take last weeks class and already have a stack of gel prints just waiting to be used.  Somehow the ideas just flow when you are creating with others!  The cute little window topped tin is included with this class.

In spite of the crazy weather, we were busy Saturday and Lisa's class schedule was met with rave reviews.  We used up all the supplies for the FREE Make 'n Take and I forgot to take a picture of it!  If you didn't make it, we missed you and hope you can certainly make the next one.

 Both Lisa and I had a crazy week so we are lacking 2 pictures for this class schedule, but watch for an updated email and Facebook posts to remedy this unfortunate situation!

On to the class schedule.....

Anytime Hearts - $30

Thursday, February 1

10:30 am OR 6 pm

These cards can be used for any occasion including the upcoming Valentine's Day.  Several would be appropriate for the men in your life.  While no sentiments or bold words have been added to these cards, Lisa will provide an assortment of words and sentiments you can select to personalize them.  This class is next week, so please sign up no later than 4 pm Saturday (Jan 27th).  This class schedule came out too late for the website to allow registration, although you will be able to see it there.

Lisa has used the "Life is Abundant" paper collection by Graphic 45 again to create this wonderful mini book.  There are pockets of all kinds and spaces you might find appropriate for photos.  It truly is one of the most beautiful books she has created to date.  If you like making books, this is a great class for you!
