Cards with Dawn

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.  With Christmas over it is time to start thinking about love and Valentine's day.  January's class will be pretty clean and simple but we will be focusing on a couple of techniques that perhaps might be new to you.  Do you love your distress inks but look for different ways to use them?  Well, I have a fun technique that uses your distress ink pads along with background stamps.  It is super fun and super easy!!

We will also be playing with embossing paste and stencils.  Another fun technique and a great way to use all those stencils that you own and perhaps are looking for something different to do with them.  Again, it is an easy technique, but adds a lovely touch of dimension.

As always, if the sentiments that I use on the cards don't work for you, feel free to change them.  I always have a couple of different ones to choose from!

Come join me on the date that works best for you.
Tuesday January 7th @ 10.30 am
Wednesday January 8th @ 10.30 am
Saturday January 11th @ 10.30 am

Here are a couple of sneaks of the cards that we will be making.

Create: A Stenciling Class

Hi Everyone! Pat here, aka Teknekjunkie... lol... Embossing paste is my new obsession... along with some fun templates.  I can't stop playing with the stuff!  Ha ha!  I came up with another class using the Black Matte embossing paste by Dream Weavers over a stencil:

Some of you may have seen the video for my latest product of the week, where I did a short demo on how to use the embossing paste on a stencil.  Well, that was the foundation for this next class.  Black embossing past makes a perfectly clean and neat border, and an awesome silhouette!  I chose to use it as a border in a sweet wall decor, using inchie stamps:

In my Flutterbies class, I used the gold embossing paste and sprinkled very fine glitter on the paste while it was still wet.  In this class, I will use silver Stickles on dried embossing paste.  The pictures don't show the glitter very well but it is super cool up close and personal!  The inchies are stamped in black ink and embossed with clear powder.

Here are the class details:

Flight of the Flutterbies

Hi Ladies! Teknekjunkie here.  Ready to break out of the winter doldrums? Well...let's get messy! Scrapdoodles has a brand new product...embossing paste...in 4 fantastic colors...metallic gold, metallic silver, white, and black.  These embossing pastes are so much fun to play with.

I like these pastes sooooo much, I have decided to do a series of 3 classes using the different color pastes along with other coloring tools and toys...to make some wall plaques.

In my first class, I will show you how to have fun with the metallic gold embossing paste, glitter, and stencils. The stencil has butterflies.  This is a "mixed media" class and  we will  be stamping and embossing on paper, too.

As with all mixed media classes, extra tools are required. Don't wear white. You might want to bring an apron or smock. The following is a list of items the student must bring to class:
          Basic Tool Kit (with good quality adhesive)
          Good quality scissors and small trimmer sicissors
          Splat Mat
          Roll of Scotch Tape
          Roll of doublesided Scotch Tape
          Small spatula
          Small sponge brush
          Fine glitter your choice of color (I provide 2 colors, you provide the third)
          Rag for clean up..(we will need to use water for clean up)
          Heat embossing tool

You can find most of these items at the store. Also, watch for Dawn's card classes...she will show you how to use the white paste in card making.

All classes will be held on Sundays in March. The first class is March 10, at 1:00pm. Call Scrapdoodles today, and sign up for some messy fun. I hope to see you on Sunday March 10 to make the "Flight of the Flutterbies".
