Birthday Celebration 6/13 for Evelyn & Sara.

Snacks from Joan.

Today's card features a die I bought at this years stamp convention. 

Every year when I'm at Tessler's booth I say I wonder how their dies cut?

Well this year I bit the bullet and bought the Japan Warrior #3, 

I am pleased to say it cuts beautifully with a detail plate shim (metal one)

Instead of using washi paper, I decided we would make our own.

I will have both sentiments available.

Please bring your basic class kit

including

scissors

black/gold edger

liquid glue

paper towel

Distress Oxide ink your color choice

foam blender tool

That should do it, have a great week!

Today we celebrate Diana's birthday!

We will be using this stamp from Altenew called Leaf Canopy.

The lesson is colored pencils on dark card stock.

This can be done on black but I thought

 it might be too hard to see in class.

We will be working with Gamsol as our blending agent.

Please bring your basic class kit

including

colored pencils

sand eraser

pencil sharpener

black edger

if you have paper blending stumps

That should do it, see you all on Thursday!

May birthday celebration for Diana on 5/16.

We would also like to wish Lottie a happy birthday.

Today I'm on a little getaway with my hubby, 

so Sue will be leading you during this class.

Here is what she wants to share.

These look like very ordinary cards, 

but what brought each of them together is a mystery and a surprise!  

Look for a lot of unexpected and weird fun in this class!

Bring the following in addition to your class kit:

Black or gold edger

Foam tape or Fun Foam

Liquid glue

Coloring medium of your choice

Have fun with Sue and I will see you all next week!
