Ready for a Class?

Many of you have asked, and so here they are!  New classes!  Here's a sneak peek at the Birthday Class taught by Eleonor in October.  This class will feature the new Hero Arts Stamp and Die Cut set called Flowers & Butterflies.

This will be a birthday themed class scheduled to run on Saturday, October 15th from 9 - 10 AM.  The classes will feature 3 cards and the registration fee is $15.  To register, call the store at 604-684-4657.  Spots are limited, so don't delay!

Look What Just Arrived!

Today we received a shipment of goodies from Hero Arts!  Have you seen these new stamps from them yet??  They are so cool.  Each set combines the stamps as well as the dies or the embossing folders.  So first you stamp, then cut or emboss!  Now if that isn't easy, we don't know what is!

 

Below is a sample of a card made by Tami Hartley from Hero Arts using one of the new stamps and embossing folder sets.

 

Isn't it beautiful!  Come and visit us and check out all the goodies.  But don't delay, these sets will go fast!

coffee and a card

Join us Thursday mornings for coffee and a card.   Drop in between 10:30 to 12:30 Thursday,   pour yourself a coffee, sit with Eleonor and make a card.  The make  and takes will be different every week. We'll provide everything you  need for a $2 drop in fee, which is donated to mental health.

card of the week

This week's card features Fluffles the cat! Eleonor used this cute stamp from Stampendous to make a quick and easy birthday card. 

coming soon!

coffee and a card is back!

To get back into the swing of things here's a sneak peek at tomorrow's coffee and a card.  Join Eleonor between  10 to 12,  she'll have the coffee on and show you how to make this cute little card.

Dance!

A very popular saying goes like this, "You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching, love like you'll never be hurt, sing like there's nobody listening and live like it's heave on earth."  Isn't that a fabulous saying?  We think so, and so it inspired this card.

 

Simple and elegant, this card features a lone ballet dancer, dancing en pointe.  We didn't overdo the embellishments.  The beauty and grace of the dancer takes center stage.  We simply coloured her in with Copics, painted some Distress Tea Dye ink underneath her to ground her and added 3 litle gems on the side.  Finished.  Simple and Perfect.  Here's a close up:

You can purchase a kit to create this card.  The kit will include everything you need to make the card 6 times -- all you need to do is colour in the images and glue the pieces together.  Hope you like it.
