April 2022 Calendar

 

APRIL 2022

CLASS SCHEDULE

 

What a fun Preview Day!  We had a lot of visitors and everyone enjoyed creating the FREE Make 'n Take pictured here.....

We did a riff on a card featured in Catherine Pooler's samples for the Hops & Peeps collection by making a flat card into a tri-fold version.  I think it turned out quite nicely.  The patterned paper is from the Simple Stories Full Bloom collection.  The bunny stamp & coordinating dies are from the Catherine Pooler Hops & Peeps stamp & dies and the egg die is also from a set of 4 dies by Catherine Pooler called Egg Hunt Dies.  We sold out of the dies, but have a few more coming in next week.

 Lisa brought out an extensive class schedule for April that runs into the first week of May.  There are 4 wonderful card classes and a tri-fold journal/album.  Take a look and see what you think!

 Easter Fun Cards - $30

Thursday, April 7

10:30 am OR 6 pm

 

    I do love this set of cards.  Everything about these cards is eggs-citing!  The Hops & Peeps stamps & dies and the Egg Hunt dies from Catherine Pooler have been used.  Hero's 2 newest layering stamp sets were used for the big bunny card and the chick card. The paper is from the Echo Parks 6x6 Easter Collection.

Indigo Garden Cards - $30

Thursday, April 14

10:30 am OR 6 pm

 

The Indigo Garden collection from Simple Stories is so beautiful.  Lisa has created 4 really elegant cards from this paper that will knock the socks off of the receiver of any one of these cards.  Three of the cards have unique folds that make each card so special.

EASTER HOLIDAY

The store will be closed Saturday, April 16.

Lisa and I hope that you will spend this weekend celebrating the true meaning of Resurrection Sunday with friends and family. May we all know the love of God the Father, the saving work of Jesus Christ our Lord and the gift of the Holy Spirit.

 

Shimmer in Blooming Color - $30

Thursday, April 21

10:30 am OR 6 pm 

 

 

We recently had the pleasure of playing with Crafter's Workshop's new Stencil Butters in Art Journal Saturday.  They are shimmery pots of acrylic whipped paint.  Lisa got to playing around with them even more and discovered how easy they are to use in painting stamped images.  We really love when we find more ways to use products.  The stamps and dies come from Hero Arts, Altenew and Catherine Pooler.  These cards are framable works of art!

  Tri-Fold Bee-utiful Journal

$30 + Graphic 45 Journal (purchase from MHF)

Thursday, April 28th

10:30 am OR 6 pm

 

  

Graphic 45 has come out with the bee-utiful "Let it Bee" paper collection.  When we saw this collection we knew it would be perfect for the new black Waterfall Journal by Graphic 45.  This journal will be perfect for photos and journaling.  It would be a wonderful gift to yourself or someone special.  Elegant and bee-utiful!

Art Journal Saturday - $20

Saturday, April 30

9 am OR 2 pm

 

PHOTO TO COME

 

It feels so good to be gathering for Art Journal Saturdays again.  Of course, both Lisa and I have been out of the habit of creating for this class and we have had a hard time getting our samples ready on time. In any case, don't worry, Lisa will have her sample ready soon and I'll post it as soon as possible.  I'll email it and post a sample on Facebook as soon as it is ready!

Stencil Fun Cards - $30

Thursday, May 5

10:30 am OR 6 pm

 

 These cards are quick and easy.  Stencils can make the best quick backgrounds and they are really fun to use to make coordinating envelopes for the cards they carry.  Lisa is using stencils from Crafter's Workshop and Hero Arts.  There is Tim Holtz glaze used on one of those cards too so if you haven't had the pleasure of playing with them, here's your chance to try before you buy!

Class Schedule

&

 Preview Day Review

 

Preview Day was fantastic!  It was quiet in the morning and then took off like wildfire just after noon.  We never know busy we'll be, but it's always fun.  I really enjoy visiting with everyone and Lisa has lots of fun guiding the FREE Make 'n Take.  This time we had a few ink choices for the main image as well as 3 stamp choices.  That certainly was a lot of fun to see how everyone chose to make their cards.  

 

 

It's a great card and the stamps and inks are from Catherine Pooler.  The background is white embossed on a kraft cardstock.  It is a wavy fan image and makes a nice statement.  There was a choice of 3 paper lantern stamps with several mini images you can stamp on top of the lantern.  

 As usual, Lisa has a great schedule for March.  We do have two classes for which the samples were not available by Saturday, but as soon as they are, I'll update this blog post and send out a special email with the photos.  So let's have a look at the schedule!

 

All About Coffee - $30

Thursday, March 3rd

10:30 am OR 6 pm

 

 

Here is a fun collection of cards that can be used for anyone on your list.  We had several requests for coffee images on cards and Lisa loves to make everyone happy.  I love the bright colors and variety of techniques she's used.  One of the cards even has a pocket on the front for a gift card!

 

Alcohol Pearls - $30

Thursday, March 10

10:30 am OR 6 pm

 

Lisa has done an amazing job with Ranger's brand new collection of Pearl Alcohol Inks.  These new pearly colors are absolutely gorgeous.  If you haven't used alcohol inks and want to learn how they work, this is the class for you!  You'll create the background and then use the magic to create 4 stunning cards by adding stamps, stencils and die cuts.

 

 

Poppy Canvas - $40

Thursday, March 17

10:30 am OR 6 pm

 

 

We haven't done a mixed media canvas in a long time. Lisa has used a lovely poppy stamp set by Altenew to create this beautiful canvas using modeling paste, papers, stencils, paint, tissue and more.  You'll have lots of fun creating and it will make a great addition to your home decor.  OR you can give it to a friend as a gift of love and friendship.

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

October 21, 2021

 

 November 2021

Class schedule

Preview Day is always a great deal of fun.  And, of course, last Saturday was no exception.  There were two great football games and OSU's game was during Preview Day so I am sure that had something to do with our being busy beyond imagination in the morning and slow, but steady, in the afternoon.  Anyhoo.... we still had a great Make 'n Take for everyone and while we had a few supplies left, we had none of the stamps or dies left!  Woo Hoo!

 As you can see this card was absolutely perfect!  The tree stamp is from Catherine Pooler's "Wrapped & Ready" stamp set, which also features a stamp of a car with packages on it.  "I can't wait" came from the "Near or Far" stamp set featuring great sentiments for Christmas.  We used a variety of Tombow brush pens to color and added gold "pearls" from PinkFresh.  The papers we used were from the Happy Christmas collection by Carta Bella.  We also used one of Catherine Pooler's Scallop dies from the Scallops and Dots" die set.  The tag die came from the Notecard Frame and Tag die set, also by Catherine Pooler. 

Thanksgiving is next month and we'll have special hours that week.  Please make a note of the schedule.... and yes, of course, I'll remind you when it gets closer.
