Make & Take this Saturday!

Hi Everyone! 
Can't believe it, but June is just about over.........oh where, oh where, does the time go?.........But on the other hand,  this also means that this Saturday is the first Saturday of the month and it will be Make & Take Day!

And here is the Make & Take............. that Outlines turtle is just too cute and so I knew I had to do something with him!

Too bad we don't have a stamp that says, "Happy Belated Birthday".  I'll definitely be on the look out for such a stamp, but I guess in the meantime, we'll just use the mini Happy Birthday one.

Hope you'll stop by and have some fun creating this cute little gift card on Saturday!

Thanks and
Happy Stamping,
Anna

Another Flower Embellishment

Good Morning Everyone!

Yay, finally sunny weather is here!!!  The rain these past days have really been a bummer!

My 85 year old dad is visiting and we are having a grand time.  I have to say he is enjoying my cooking and we are spending quality time chatting and relaxing together.  Yesterday, he met the ladies who came to class and even sat in and watched us make one of the flower embellishments...........the chrysanthemum made out of felt.  He had a kick out of  watching everyone getting excited with their finished flower.

And here is the fourth card from the "Flower Embellishment" class.

We used Hero Arts' Fabulous Flourish stamp, Tim Holtz' new mini rosette die, and those great butterfly punch and embossing sets.

This class is going to be repeated again on Thursday, July 7th, at 6PM.  Call and reserve your seat today!

Well, I'm off to get ready for church.

Have a wonderful day and
Happy Stamping!

New Embossing Folders Arrived!

Hi Everyone, 
Just wanted to let you know that some great new embossing folders have arrived at the Creative Corner and here's a peek at them!

Won't these look great on your new cards and projects?  I'm going to have to think of and make some new samples to inspire you now.

Thanks for stopping by,

More Info on the Sewing Room Canvas

Barbara reminded me that you will also be using the NEW Tim Holtz Distress STAINS in the Sewing Room Canvas class.  It's a great new product and here's your chance to try it out in class!

Have a great day and
Happy Stamping,
Anna

Sewing Room Canvas

As you know, Barbara Thomas loves to take Tim Holtz's classes and this past March when we were in Boston, she took 4 with him!  She made wonderful, artistic, collage canvases that make perfect wall decorations.

Here is the Sewing Room Theme canvas and you will be able to make one in Barbara's class, on Saturday, August 27th!

It uses the Tim Holtz sewing room die set as well as Tim's new tissue tape and lots of embellishments.
Now, isn't it just so clever that you use part of Tim's birdcage die to create the skirt on the dress form?  There you have it,  another use for that die!  I just love it when we can use our dies or stamps in different, imaginative ways!

Call the shop to reserve your seat!

Thanks for stopping by and
Happy Stamping,

Another Flower Embellishment

Today I finished making this really simple chrysanthemum from felt.  It was easier than I had thought it would be and very cute.

This will be the third flower that you will learn how to make in the Flower Embellishment class.

I have to say, I really like the way the tag turned out too!  Quite simple but fun! 

Have a wonderful weekend.  And Happy Father's Day!

Handmade Flower Embellishments

Today was a fun and creative day, as I completed 2 of the cards for the Flower Embellishments class that will be held on Saturday, June 25th, and also on Thursday, July 7th.

You will have fun learning how to make these handmade flowers for your cards.

This rose is really pretty and is made from 4 flowers cut from a die.

This flower is made from scalloped circles, also cut from a die, and made from printed vellum.  The button for the center of the flower is so cute.  It is also cut from a Joy Crafts die.

Hope you'll join this fun and creative class.
