Stamp Out Breast Cancer

Talking about 'New Hatched' I have just finished posting the Stamp Out Breast Cancer website. It's the 'first draft' and will be filling out rapidly out over the next few days.
We will start taking class registrations this week - finally!

Stamp Club this Saturday

The Stamp Club usually meets at the False Creek Community Centre on Granville Island, the last Saturday of every month from 9:00 to 11:00. We exchange cards and ideas, have demos and complete a few hands on projects. There is a card swap every meeting. If you'd like to participate in the swap please bring 10 similar stamped projects with you. Everyone is welcome and there is a $5 drop in fee.

Helen will be demoing the push/pull slider card. Please bring the following supplies:

basic kit: paper trimmer w/cutting blade & scoring blade (or stylus), bone folder, scissors, exacto knife, cutting mat, adhesives (double-sided tape or glue runner & regular tape), ruler, pencil, eraser

- cardstock (full sheets, in 2-3 coordinating colours)

- stamps, inks in coordinating colours w/the cardstock

- strip of plastic shopping bag, 1" by 11"

- optional: ribbon - widthwide enough to fit through 1/8" or 1/4" opening

If you have the following punches, please bring with you (I'll be bringing mine)

square: 1", 1-1/8" or 1-1/4"

She'll also be demoing an origami vase.

Any questions, let us know.

Hope to see you on Saturday.
