August Classes

August 2014

Class Schedule

Ah! Demo Day!  It brings such fun and laughter.  This past Saturday was no different.  We laughed and enjoyed helping friends to create this stunning Halloween card for our Make-It-Take-It.  One of our best.... don't you think?

The class schedule for August is brimming with wonderful classes.  Lisa created a wonderful assortment of card classes and projects and Kelley Walker will repeat her "Gelli Print - Long Stitch" class by popular demand.  So without further ado....  here are the descriptions!

Botanical Tea Tag Book

July 31st OR August 1st

$30

Graphic 45's new Botanical Tea is taking the paper art world by storm and this project is worthy of your time.  Join Lisa as she leads you through the steps she used to create this beautiful staggered tag book that can be used as a mini photo album.

Silks & Distress Cards

August 7 OR 8

$20

Watercolor on kraft cardstock with Distress Markers and Dylusions sprays, then add Silk acrylic glazes and you have a recipe for stunning....  stunning cards that is!  

All About Nature Canvas

Sunday, August 10

$50

This amazing project uses the 3 newest die/embossing folder sets designed by Tim Holtz.  Canvases on Canvas in a shabby chic look will make a stunning decoration anywhere in your house.  You'll love it so much you'll want to make more to give to your friends.

Gelli Print Cards - Repeat

August 14 OR 15th

$30

Gelli Printing is all the rage right now!  It's so versatile and once you get started, it's so hard to stop.  Guaranteed fun and no two prints are alike!  Lisa taught this class in June and has been asked several times when she is going to do it again.... and it's now!  You will need a gelli plate.  Don't have one and not sure which size to get?  Fear not, Lisa will help you decide which size is best for you.  Then you can start having more fun than you ever imagined.

DEMO DAY

SATURDAY, AUGUST 16

10:30 AM TO 4 PM

Come and Go

Our Demo Day is a regular event on the 3rd Saturday of the month.  It's a place to meet your friends and even make some new ones!  We always have a quick Make-It-Take-It for you and Lisa's class schedule is on display for the next month.  If you haven't been, make a point to join us this month.  You'll be glad you did!

Die-Cut Extravaganza

August 21st OR 22nd

$35

Die cut cards are quite popular and this class will have you creating amazingly beautiful cards using layers of die-cut designs.  You will also make the beautiful box which will hold your cards in style from 2 pieces of 12x12 paper.  Your box will be adorned with a beautiful flower you will create using Tim Holtz's Jumbo Tattered Floral Die, glitter and more.  A wonderful gift... Lots of fun to make!

Gelli-Print Long-Stitch

by Kelley Walker

Saturday, August 23

$55

This two part class is an all day extravaganza.  Kelley taught this class a couple of weeks ago and it has gotten quite a lot of attention.  You'll print in the morning (no experience required) and after a quick lunch break return to learn a wonderful "long-stitch" style of book binding.  You can see what the students created in the last class on Kelley's blog "One January Day".  Class includes the use of a Gelli Plate if you don't have one, all paper and book making supplies as well as the use of Dina Wakley's new paints.  

Distress Style Organizer

August 28 OR 29

$30

Kaisercraft has a great collection of organizers for your studio.  Lisa has chosen this desk organizer to assemble and decorate with papers from Tim Holtz's Wallflower Paper Collection.  You will absolutely love this piece.  You will need to purchase the organizer from the store.

We've got a full schedule for August.  I think it's safe to say that there is something for everyone and you'll enjoy every minute of any class you choose to take.  You can make reservations  by emailing Lisa (lbruno7754@aol.com), calling the store (509-6788) or if you want to see the samples in person, come on by.  We can sign you up on the spot!  Remember payment of class fees is required to hold your seat in class.  Some classes have more limited numbers due to space needed to create so be sure you enroll early!

For additional information, please call the store (509-6788) or email Lisa (lbruno7754@aol.com).

That's it for now.....  Until next post, Happy Creatin'!

Gelli Arts Print Making

Saturday, Nov 3

$55

 

 

Ever heard of gelatin plate printing?  Neither had I until I saw the Gelli Arts Gel Print Plate and some of what you can create with it.  Our Good Friend, Kelley Walker returns with another "gotta take it" class.  She will walk you through the process of printing with the Gel Print Plate.  When you have finished, you will assemble the sweet shoji-style accordian book pictured above AND you will go home with your very own Gel Print Plate!

 

Christmas Wishes Clipboard & Box

Sunday, Nov 4

$35

 

 

This class sold out very fast last month and the waiting list was too long to ignore.  If you were one of those who didn't get to take it, jump on over and get yourself in this class! 

 

All Is Bright

November 8 & 9

$25

 

 

Oh yes!  All is Bright!  This card class is made using the My Mind's Eye 6x6 paper pad called All Is Bright (duh!)....  AND some of the coordinating brads.  You will get the whole package of brads with this class.  Love this color palette!

 

Vintage Door Pendants

Sunday November 11

$35

 

 

Lisa has a thing for old doors (well, so do I).  Her daughter took a trip to Guatamala and shot some very interesting doors.  A recent Somerset publication included an article featuring pendants with old doors sandwiched between mica tiles.  Put this all together and voila'..... class!  These are very cool.  You know you want to make them for yourself and all your friends!

 

Wise Men Still Seek Him

November 15 & 16

$30

 

 

Yes, wise men do still seek Him!  I created this canvas last year and so many have asked us to teach it.  Lisa took it home and updated it with current papers.  I like it better than mine and you will enjoy making it.

Truly a fabulous decoration for winter.  Not shown is the cute Tim Holtz lighted lantern which will hang above the little house.  This project is so beautiful it leaves me speechless!

 

 

Christmas Delight Cards

It's not too late to make one more batch of cards.  These are so fun and filled with so many great elements.  You will get a chance to use two new dies from My Favorite Things and the fab new wreath die from Tim Holtz! 

 

That wraps it up for November....  It's a great line-up and there is something for everyone.

 

That's it for now..... Until next post..... Happy creatin'!
