Special Ornament Technique Class


These ornaments are way more gorgeous in person, honest.  If you attend any of my classes, I'm sure you have seen them hanging my in studio. 
I am offering a special technique class on October 25, 2014 to make these beautiful ornaments, and below are the details.

What:  Class to make one or both ornaments.  (the color of your ornament(s) may vary from the photos).
When:  October 25, 2014, two classes
            10:00 to about 11:30-Ornament Keepsakes class (top picture)
            12:30 to 3:30     Lattice 3-D ornament class (bottom picture)
Where:  555 Williamsdale Road, Graham, NC 27253
Cost:  $15.00 per ornament, or take both classes:   $25.00
What to bring:  
--A low heat glue gun and lots of extra glue gun sticks, (only needed for morning class)
--A paper piercer tool if you are making the Lattice 3-D ornament, (bottom picture).  If you do not own a paper piercer, scissors will work. (the 3-D ornament uses about 135 glue dots, and I found it easier to use a paper piercer to lift the glue dots from the roll to the ornament paper). There are other uses for a paper piercing tool, like piercing unique designs with templates, or to set brads.  The tool comes with a protective cap, no bandaids needs here.  You can find this handy tool on Page 218 of SU's 2014-15 catalog, item #126189, $3.95 plus shipping, total $4.35.  If you would like for me to order this tool for you, please let me know by September 12th.

If you are signing up for both classes, please bring your lunch, or something to tide you over.  I don't want you to pass out from lack of nutrition.

Space is limited, and because of the preparation time needed, please RSVP no later than Monday, October 20, 2014.

In addition, I hold regular adult classes each month.  If you live near my home at 555 Williamsdale Road, Graham, NC 27253 and would like to attend any of my classes, please let me know.  Check out my September 2014 class schedule right here on my blog, or on my SU website found Here

Thoughts and Prayers


Just for fun one day, I was looking on Pinterest, I came across this card, and thought to myself, I can offer this for my September 2014 classes, right?  So I am.  I think the combination of Baked Brown Sugar, Basic Black and Very Vanilla are stunning.  I used the Scallop Tag Topper punch and the Oval Framelits to make the black background piece, and I learned this from Tina Rappe at www.stampinstudio.com, post of May 4, 2014.  So, if you are able to come to my September 4, 6, or 9th, 2014 classes, you too, will have the opportunity to put this card together.

Recipe:  I have listed all the supplies to make both projects below. Just click on the item you want and it will take you to my ordering page, or please feel free to contact me directly.

Nordic Noel for September 2014 classes

This beautiful Christmas Card is one of my offerings for my September 4th, 6th, and 9th, 2014 classes, and I'm excited to share. When I purchased Stampin' Up!'s new Nordic Noel DSP, I didn't know how much I would like it, and now I want another package or two, imagine that!!! I used the Holiday Ornaments Framelits Dies to make the ornament background for the 1 3/4" circle base.  If you would like to order the set of framelits, you must hurry because they are retiring midnight on August 27, 2014.  

Recipe:  If you scroll to the end of this post, you will see I have listed all the supplies to make this card. Just click on the item you want and it will take you to my ordering page, or please feel free to contact me directly.

Christmas Festive Flurry in Elegant Eggplant

I don't know why it is, when I know something from Stampin' Up! is retiring, I just have to have it, or if I own it, I use it to death. Well, not actually to death, but a lot.   I used The Festive Flurry's stamp set and matching framelits, and More Merry Messages to make this card, and both the stamp sets and framelits are retiring midnight on August 27, 2014.  

Recipe:  I have listed all the supplies to make both projects below. Just click on the item you want and it will take you to my ordering page, or please feel free to contact me directly.

August 2014 Hostess Club Projects



My August 2014 Hostess is Sharon, and she has requested projects using SU's Bigz Bow Die, and of course, I aim to please.  These are the projects I am offering to my 10 wonderful, and very supportive hostess club ladies.

The bag is made from a 10" x 7 1/2" piece of card stock, scored at 1/2, 1 1/4, 2, 5 1/4, 6, and 6 3/4 on the 10" side, turn and and score at 1 1/2 on the 7 1/2" side.  I decorated it with the Festive Flurry's stamp set and I used the matching framelits.  If you would like to purchase the stamp set with the matching framelits, you need to hurry because they are officially retiring midnight on August 27, 2014.

Recipe:  I have listed all the supplies to make both projects below. Just click on the item you want and it will take you to my ordering page, or please feel free to contact me directly.
