Make 'n Take

Tomorrow is May 1st and we all know what that means.  It's time for Make 'n Take!!  We have a new batch of cards for you to try out your creativity.  Come join us on Saturday, May 4, anytime from 10:00 am until 4:00 pm.  We'll have all the supplies you need to make any or all of the four cards pictured below.  Make as many as you wish, just $2 per card.

This is a lovely illustrated tree poem stamped on two different papers.



















This card features stamps from Impression Obsession and could fit a number of different occasions.

Here's a cute Mother's Day card using a great stamp from Lockhart.  If you don't need a Mother's Day card, we have several other sentiments that can be used instead.

We all need graduation cards.  Whether it's grade school, high school, or college, celebrate the accomplishment of someone special.

MAY SAMPLES

We have photos of some of the beautiful cards we'll be making during May. Thursday, May 16th is "Clorox - It's Not Just for Laundry Anymore."  This may be a new technique to many of you, but you can use regular old household bleach to give a really different look to your cards.  Join us for this fun class and get a chance to try it out on a number of different images while you make three cards.  Cost is $15.

On Saturday, May 18, our stencil class will feature the wisteria stamp from Dreamweaver.  Your three images will include a white on white pearlescent version, a slightly lavender version, and a full color wisteria on trellis background.  Cost is $20 and you get to keep the stencil.

May's Schedule

Here - drum roll please - is the calendar for May's classes.  Along with the Stencil Class, Copic Class, and Open Crop that you've come to expect, we have a few new options for your card-making enjoyment.  On May 7th  we will be making three really cute cards from the new Great Impressions release.  These are the stamps we used to call "Stamp of the Month," but since they've changed the program we don't receive them monthly anymore.  

On May 16, there's "Clorox - It's Not Just for Laundry Anymore."  You'll be doing some amazing designs by embossing and then brushing on bleach to change the color in your image. 

The May 21st class is "Cards in Motion."  Learn to make flip cards, waterfall cards, and cards with images that roll.  

Our "Inky Antics" class on May 30th features some really cute cards with a summer theme that will let you practice your coloring techniques.  Look for pictures of all of our samples as they become available.

SAVE THE DATE - 

On Wednesday, June 5, we will be offering a class by guest instructor and owner of Elizabeth Crafts, 

Els van de Burgt.  She will be using her line of glitters and shimmer sheets.  We do not have a lot of details yet, but as soon as we know time, location and cost, we will post it here.

Hopefully some of you will be able to join us for the Magic Card class on Tuesday, April 16.  The class is at 10:30 am or 6:30 pm and the cost is $15.  These pictures show each of the two cards when closed and also each card when open.  That's where the magic comes in!

On Thursday, April 25, we will be making two beautiful watercolor cards using the Art Impressions technique involving water-based markers and a paintbrush.  It's easy to do and when you're done the cards  look like masterpieces!  Classes are again at 10:30 and 6:30 and the cost is $15.

MAKE 'N TAKE SATURDAY

Here's a scene from our recent tag sale.  We were quite busy! Many people left here with tremendous bargains, quite a few left with store credit for selling no longer used items, and there are some very deserving children who will benefit from their art teachers receiving your donated items.  Thanks to everyone who participated.  A good time was had by all.
