Happy Valentine's Day

Bring a small snack to share if you would like 

in celebration of Valentine's day.

No birthdays this month.

Today's card is a technique called Distress Ink mono printing.

I saw this on Jennifer McGuire's blog and decided to give it a try.

I have many samples to share with you. 

This is one of those two for one techniques. 

I used the second piece or the mono print to die cut the focal image.

If you would prefer to have the second piece to create another card

 you will need to bring extra paper to die cut the focal image.

Here are some of the cards I made.

Please bring your basic class kit

including

Paper towel

baby wipes

spray bottle w/ water

scissors

liquid glue 

black edger

Distress Ink pads (not Oxides) your color choice

(if you have reinkers, a juicy pad works better)

Important

My heat gun died yesterday.

Thanks to Claire she saved to day!

If you have a heat gun please bring to class.

I'm going to try to find a good one locally,

if not I will order one.

Unique - Saturday June 11, 2016

This month's unique class will be focusing on 

techniques  with watercolor crayons, 

specifically the new Tim Holtz Distress Crayons.

In this class we will cover at least 15 different techniques.

Some of the samples have more than one on it.

I have also written up a guide for your future reference.

You can keep the cards as a technique reference

 or use them on a card, the choice is yours.

Kits will not be available due to the hands on nature of this class.

If you are interested in joining this class please call 

Scraps Galore 858 1080 to reserve your spot.

Please bring your basic class kit

including

flat paint brush approx 3/4"

detail brush or water brush

spray bottle with water

non stick craft mat

optional if you own

ink blender tool with new foam

baby wipes

paper towel

watercolor crayons

That should do it, looking forward to a fun class!

1/20/2015 class @CP2

From time to time someone will request a

 technique or to use a specific stamp.

We've all been there when you look into your stash and say,

 what did I buy that for?

In December one of your class mates brought in several bags

 of gold leaf or gildenglitz,

asked me to do a card using the product.

So this is the card we will be doing.

I wonder how many of you have some of this stuff in their stash?

Please bring your basic class kit

including

ballpoint glue pen

tweezers 

edger (I used gold)

That should do it,

remember any requests

 I will do my best to make it happen!

This new stamp and die just screamed summertime!

Stampendous has been making some wonderful stamp and die sets.

I paired it with an all time favorite background stamp from Hero Arts.

The flowers were water colored with distress reinkers,

so each one comes out slightly different,

just like in nature! They are bold and beautiful.

Please bring your basic class kit

including

non stick craft sheet

water bottle

water brush or paint brush

black edger

if you have distress reinkers I used

spiced marmalade

festive berries

mustard seed

peeled paint

That should do it, see you Tuesday & 

enjoy your weekend.

Bette had been telling me about a die she bought when she went to a stamp show in Tennessee. 

Well last week she brought it in and offered it to me to use for a class. 

So a great big Thank You to Bette.

In March of 2012 we made this card,

I cut and scored each one. yikes!

The Stamp Doctor released this die.

One pass through your die cut machine

 and it is cut and scored

 and fits into an invitation size envelope,

Did you see me doing my happy dance?

Center Step Card Die

and this is what I did with it,

Mid February and still sticking to my NY resolution,

until today

Bring your basic class kit

Today we are using something old and something new.

I received this wonderful die for the holidays,

triple square flip it's, as you can see they are out of stock again.

(I'm so grateful to my friend for getting me one!)

We are using scrapbook paper that've had well, forever.

So colors will vary.

Now I know many of you have used these dies in 

one of several classes with Sue Rosenberg,

Today I will show you a trick to extend the back of the card, 

creating an additional flap so you have somewhere to write.

Here's the card closed.

(not happy with the placement of "celebrate", but

we can fix that)

Half way open

All the way open

Basic class kit

including a black edger

if you wish to add some color to the images,

bring which ever medium you prefer.

Enjoy your long weekend,

See you Tuesday.
