DECEMBER 2011 CLASSES

DECEMBER  CLASSES

This is a short month for classes.  There is so much going on with Christmas shopping and such.  These classes will be perfect for December as all but one can make a fabulous gift for someone or decoration for your home.  There is even a gift tag class and you know that's a big help this time of year....  so without further ado, here is the line-up!

MIRACLE of CHRISTMAS

Tuesday, November 29

This precious 5x7 canvas is being taught by guest artist, Linda Clancy.  Linda brought this canvas by a couple of weeks ago and wanted to know if we thought it would make a good class.  Well, we did and so here it is.....  It is a front and back goodie featuring stamps from Stampendous and Printworks.  At the top of this canvas (not shown in picture) is a tiny star secured by a teeny wire...... 

12  CHRISTMAS GIFT TAGS

Tuesday, Dec 6 & Tuesday, Dec 13th

This class couldn't be more timely.....  Lisa had a great time using all kinds of dies and stamps.  You will have so much fun with this class knowing that these tiny treasures will be so useful.

CHRISTMAS  DISPLAY  BOX

Thursday, Dec 8 & Friday Dec 9

You may notice a pattern developing here..... there are 12 windows in this sweet atc display box.  You will use a variety of papers and supplies to create this unique art tray.  Perfect for decorating your home or as a last minute hostess gift.

12  DAYS  OF  CHRISTMAS

Thursday, Dec 15 & Friday, Dec 16

Completing the theme of 12's we have this fun canvas.  Oh my gosh!  Did you notice that Lisa used the front of the canvas this time?  This 8x10 canvas uses a stamp set from Stampington that is themed for the 12 days of Christmas.  You will also use papers from Echo Park, and glitter paper as well as the new FranTage glass glitter from Stampendous to spark this sweet canvas.  Also good for your home or that of someone special!

HERO  PREVIEW  PARTY

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17

10AM TO 4PM

We have presented this event every year since Hero started offering it and it has been a very popular event here at My Heart's Fancy.  We are so excited to bring it to you once again.  We have seen just a teensy bit of what is to come and I'm sure you will be pleased.  Every year we get a sampling of the new 2012 stamps and catalogs for you to purchase.  You will get 20% off all in-stock preview Hero merchandise and 20% off all prepaid special orders.  If you spend $50 or more you can purchase a catalog for 1/2 price.  A purchase of $100 or more will earn you a FREE catalog!  Put this event on your calendar and come join the fun!

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

Demo Day and Thanksgiving schedule

DEMO  DAY

By the time you read this Demo Day will probably already be in full swing.  As you may remember you may make the fabulous Christmas Organizer when you make a donation of $5 or more to the Red Andrews Christmas Dinner.  Lisa will have a wonderful class schedule for the early part of December.  It should be an all around fun day for all.

We have a lot of new products in the shop right now.  Along with the usual fare of Christmas images and papers we have been adding a lot of new art supplies suitable for mixed media projects.

THANKSGIVING  WEEK  HOURS

We will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday next week (Nov 22 & 23rd)  in order to spend some much needed time with family.

HOWEVER..... 

WE WILL BE OPEN THANKSGIVING DAY

FROM 4 PM TIL 8 PM

for your shopping convenience!

This would be a great time to purchase gift certificates for some special friends or come by to fill out a wish list for Santa.  In any case, I look forward to seeing you over the Black Friday weekend. 

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



Coming Up Next!

DEMO  DAY

MAKE-IT-TAKE-IT

FOR A CAUSE

If you have lived in Oklahoma City for any amount of time you have heard of the RED ANDREWS CHRISTMAS DINNER.  Every year the McCord family puts on a Christmas dinner for needy families.  They feed between 5 & 7,000 people.  Santa is there to hand out toys to the kiddos.  Every family leaves with a gift box of food from Feed the Children.  It is a special time of blessing for those who serve and those who receive.  This year we feel led to help out financially.  My Heart's Fancy is donating all the supplies to make the beautiful Christmas Organizer pictured here. 

For a donation of $5 or more you can make one.  All proceeds will go to the Red Andrews Christmas Dinner organization.  Let's show Oklahoma City we care!

Christmas Postcard Swap

We have just enough time to sponsor a Christmas Art Swap.  We have decided to do postcards.  The Valentine postcards were very popular and we were thinking you might enjoy using your swaps for last minute Christmas cards or as Thank You notes after Christmas.  In any event, be sure you pick up a swap packet on Demo Day.  Swaps are due back on December 10th which gives us enough time to photo, swap and return on........

December 17th

HERO PREVIEW PARTY

As most of you know....  the Hero Preview Catalog Party is a tradition for us in December.  Mark your calendar for this very special event.  More details to follow at a later date.....

CHRISTMAS  WISH  LISTS

This year we are going to keep a Christmas Wish List Registry for you.  You can fill one out on Demo Day or any day after that.  Family or friends can stop by any time and check out your list.  And if you've put something really expensive on your list (like a Vagabond!) gift certificates (always available) can be purchased to help you get the coveted item!  

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

Suzanne Carillo

Suzanne Carillo Stamps

We recently discovered a "new" (for us) artist that Art Gone Wild has licensed - Suzanne Carillo.  Lisa used one of her stamp sets in the Blue Christmas class.  Suzanne has a fun unique style that we like very much.  In addition to the sets shown below we also have some of her wood mounted stamps.

We are very excited to be offering these stamps and sets.  Take a look at Tammy Tutterow's blog post using Suzanne's stamps here. 

Tim Holtz Winter Distress Pads

Our order of Winter Distress Pads came in and we have a few that are not on reserve.  If you didn't reserve a set and want one, there are still some left.  There is a limit of one set per customer until November 15th.  If there are any left, we will open it up to those who want a second set.  Please call me if you want a second set and I will put you on the "second set" list.

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

November 2011 Class Schedule

November

Class Schedule

You know that Lisa always has an outstanding group of classes every month.  It's always exciting for me to see what she has in store and I think this month she has created some very beautiful projects and cards for you to make.  Take a look at the schedule.  I'm sure there is a class for you!

Christmas House Canvas

Oct 27 & 28th

I do believe this is one of my favorites of all time.  You know Lisa loves the back side of any canvas.  Once again she has created a lovely project using Wendy Vecchi's Studio 490 Art Parts and Graphic 45 papers.  You will treasure this lovely Christmas canvas for years to come. 

BLUE CHRISTMAS

Nov 1 & 4



 

Oh Yes!  This is a wonderful collection of Christmas cards using a blue theme.  There are vintage, modern and classic images used in this wonderful group.  You will learn a new resist technique that will make your stamping look like beautiful paper. 

 

MORE FUN WITH BEESWAX

Saturday, Nov 5

 

This is more fun than a barrel of monkeys... really?  really!  If you have taken Experiments in Beeswax you are ready for the next step up.....  Learn how to  incise, scrape, texture, and torch your beeswax projects.  There is a lot packed into this 3 hour class and you will leave with 4 mini canvases.

 

CHRISTMAS CHEER

Nov 8 & 11

 

 

Another great collection of cards in a more classic color combination, you will really enjoy creating these classic beauties.  You will be using some of the new Fran-tage products from Stampendous as well as Tim Holtz, Stampendous & Hero stamps....

 

MIXED MEDIA CANVAS (repeat)

Sunday, Nov 13

 

 

Thas really been a popular class. Lisa was fascinated by this piece on 7 Gypsies blog. She just couldn't stop until she had recreated it. You'll love recreating it too!  

 

MEMORIES PHOTO BOX (repeat)

Nov 15 & Dec 2

 

 

This class was originally offered a year or so ago.  Lisa was asked if it could be offered again and it was so popular last month that it's been added again to this month's schedule.  Some materials are no longer available, but with Lisa's help, you will be making substitutions like a pro!  Perfect for a keepsake or gift.....

 

BLESSING BOOK

Nov 17 & 18

 

 

I was showing Lisa this cool book I learned to make from a Teesha Moore art journal video and she remarked that in a smaller size it would make a perfect memory project for Thanksgiving.  Make this really sweet Blessing Book and have your family fill it with things they are thankful for on Thanksgiving Day.  It's the perfect way to remember your special Thanksgiving time with family and friends.

 

DEMO DAY

Demo Day/Class Schedule

Demo Day

Class Schedule

We had a great time Saturday during Demo Day.  Lisa created a wonderful chipboard door hanger using the new Ranger Perfect Pearl Mists, our new Crafter's Workshop templates........ 

Really love those Perfect Pearl Mists.  They are so different.  At first I thought why should we get them, we have Glimmer Mists..... but they are really different and so pretty.   Glimmer Mists are a gorgeous mix of color and shimmer but Perfect Pearl Mists give you colored shimmer in a spray.  It is so sparkly!  If you haven't seen them, you will just have to come by to see them for yourselves.  With 24 wonderful colors you will have no trouble finding one you can't live without!

We just started carrying Crafter's Workshop templates and may I just say that I am having a blast playing with them.  Lisa and I spent a morning a couple of weeks ago applying inks, paints and sprays with the templates to create some exciting backgrounds.  I think she will have a class or two using them in the not to distant future.

Lisa found the Suzanne Carillo stamp sets and we have had them on order for what seems like an eon of Sundays.  They finally arrived and while we didn't have time to make up any of our own samples for Demo Day, we borrowed a few from Art Gone Wild to show you how you can use them.  Lisa will be using the set pictured here in one of her Christmas card classes next month. They are really exciting and you will have great fun with them.

The class schedule should be up late Tuesday evening or early Wednesday morning. 

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