Upcoming Classes!

We all know that September is “back to school” time... With that in mind, I’m pleased to offer you an exciting selection of stamping and card-making classes and workshops throughout the fall & early winter!

Fall/Winter Idea Book & “New Product Launch” Workshop
Time & Date: Sunday September 14th, 1-4pm
Get your first look at the Fall/Winter Idea Book and check out some of Stampin’ Up’s beautiful new stamp sets and accessories. I will demonstrate several techniques using never-before-seen products, and you’ll have the opportunity to make the beautiful scallop edged vellum card shown here to take home.
Cost: Free!

“Halloween Handiwork” Class
Time & Date: Sunday October 5th, 1-3pm
Hosting a Halloween bash, getting ready for trick-or-treaters, or just want to send a spooky little greeting to a friend? This class is a perfect way to get ready for the soon-to-be-materializing ghosts and goblins in your neighbourhood... Join us as we make a set of 6 Halloween cards and 6 sweet & spooky treat bags!
Cost: $20.00, or free with a $25.00 merchandise order

Stamp a Stack of Christmas Cards
Time & Date: Wednesday November 12th from 6-10pm
or Sunday November 16th from 1-5pm
The holidays are a perfect time to send greetings to friends and family… and how better to do it than with your own beautiful hand made Christmas Cards? Join us to create beautiful layered Christmas Cards by cutting, stamping and punching your card elements in sets of 10. This assembly-line style of card making gives you fast results, and allows you the opportunity to either assemble your cards during the class or take them home to do at your leisure. With Christmas music playing and eggnog to sip, this fun afternoon or evening will really get you in the holiday spirit!
Cost: $25.00 for 10 cards. Want to impress even more people with your craftiness? Additional sets of 10 cards cost only $10.00.

Good Things Come in Threes: 3-D’s!
Time & Date: Monday December 1st, 7-9pm
Thinking “outside the card”, this class focuses on three-dimensional projects that are unique, lovely, and incredibly useful. We will make a set of three charming gift bags and boxes perfect for smaller Christmas gifts, and you’ll be “wowed” by the three custom gift bows you make using double-sided patterned scrapbook paper (see sample photo on right)!
Cost: $15.00, or free with a $20.00 merchandise order

Decorative Holiday Tins Class & Open House
Saturday December 7th, 2-4pm
Will the smell of fresh baked goodies be wafting through your home this holiday season? Make sure your edible gifts look as good on the outside as they taste on the inside by presenting your home-made sweets in beautifully decorated tins. These versatile tins are also a great alternative to gift baskets for your smaller gifts – you’ll want several on hand over the holiday season. This event is also my Holiday Open House, so if you want to come by just to share some holiday goodies, look through supplies and card samples, and maybe add some items to your Christmas wish list, we would love to see you!
Cost: $15.00 for a set of three tins, free to join us for the Open House

There is limited seating at each class, so please contact me to reserve your spot in any of the above events, and I look forward to crafting with you throughout this Autumn and Winter…
