June Class Schedule


We sure were busy last Saturday during Preview Day.  Lisa's new June class schedule was available for preview and enrollment and our FREE Make 'n Take was a big hit!  Everyone was pleased.



We haven't used the gel plate for Make 'n Take in a very long time so we decided it was time.  We used the mini shapes to create a visual layer, doodled a border and stamped the sentiment at the bottom.  Then we stamped and die cut flowers and leaves to layer on top of the shape.  Simple but oh so elegant.  Fresh picked floral stamps, dies and inkpads from Catherine Pooler and Sentiment from Full Bloom stamp set by Simple Stories.

So now it's time to reveal the June classes.  I think you'll agree that Lisa has done a great job.  We have 2 card classes and lots of mixed media classes.  June will be a fun class month for everyone....

Awesome Oxides
$35
Thursday, June 2nd
10:30 am OR 6 pm


What's not to like about these cards?!  The colors are vibrant and the graphics are equally exciting.  You'll use Distress Oxide ink pads to create stunning backgrounds and 3D embossing folders from AlteNew to make these cards you'll be proud to send to friends and family.

Summer Favorites Recipe Book
$35
Thursday, June 9th
10:30 am OR 6 pm


We loved the Sunflower Garden paper collection by Carta Bella when it came in and Lisa has created a beautiful recipe book using one of her favorite made from scratch pocket albums.  You'll make the album as well as decorate it.  It can hold memories and special recipes.  This would make a great wedding gift and is perfect to send off with your family members going out on their own for the first time.  

Gel Print ATC Cards
$35
Thursday, June 16th
10:30 am OR 6 pm


Gel printing (aka mono printing) is a lot of fun.  Lots of our new friends have been asking us how to gel print.  What better way to learn than by making ATC cards that can be used for collage elements on cards or gift tags for gifts.  You can even use these little ATC's as encouragement cards to give away when you meet people who just need a little pick-me-up for their day.

Quick Watercolor Technique
$35
Thursday, June 23rd
10:30 am OR 6 pm


Come learn a fun new way to make QUICK watercolor cards.  When you don't have a lot of time, simple is best and also beautiful.  Learn how to let the water do the work for you.  There is even the promise of a "bonus" card.  Most of the stamps are by Penny Black and I know you'll love them!

Art Journal Saturday
$20
Saturday, June 25
9 am OR 1:30 pm


This year has been busy and both Lisa and I have been late with our samples so..... this photo is a "WIP" (work in progress).   I should have the finished version ready next week and I will try to remember to replace this photo with the completed version. This is our "bargain" class.  You bring a journal or surface paper and we provide the rest.  The class fee covers the cost of supplies only.  Lisa and just provide the guidance and you create a one of a kind piece of art.  I promise you'll be back again and again!

Mixed Media Art Tote
$35
Thursday, June 30th
10:30 am OR 6 pm


We haven't created art on fabric in quite a while and we have had a few requests.  We'll be using a canvas tote bag this time that will be suitable for shopping or carrying any number of items.  Could be an art tote for classes too!  You'll use paints, stencils, posca pens and more to create this project.  Your tote will be provided ahead of time so it can have gesso applied before class to save time.
