Kid's Camp Classes Coming Soon!

The month of December is almost here, and no I am not rushing it! I just want to announce some great information and give you time to plan ahead for some of the exciting events we have planned.

For years we are asked if we teach kid’s classes and have never tried this before. Well Nancy and Lisa (both teachers) are taking this on! This year, during the kid’s winter break we are going to offer a kid’s camp geared towards the tween/teen age range. They have such a long break and thought it would be fun for them, and you, to have something fun and creative to do. No more listening to them tell you “I’m bored”! Bring them in to us, enjoy some “me” time and let us entertain them for a few hours.

Set aside the dates and gather their friends, we have something fun planned! On December 27th, 28th and again on January 2nd and 3rd we will hold four classes. Take one, or take them all, it is up to you. We are teaching Art Journaling for Teens, making a Snap! album, learning to make an exploding box and more using a score board, and creating a glass Eglomise tray and chalk board frame. All of the classes will be between 3-4 hours, include lunch and your child will bring home some terrific projects. More details will be posted as soon as we have them and the samples will be in the store soon.

If you are interested, please call in right away. We do expect this to fill up quickly. We have a lot of grandparents with visiting kids already coming in looking for fun activities for the grandchildren, do not miss out.

Kid's Camp Classes Coming Soon!

Card Frenzy - Limited Time Only!

How many of you remember our “Card Frenzy”? We have not had it set up for quite a long time, and for a limited time only we are bringing it back! As we have been setting it up eager customers have already been making cards. It looks like we made a good decision to bring Card Frenzy back for you.

Who needs this kind of chaos just to make one card? Let us make the mess and design for you. Saving you plenty of time to work on other projects.

 

Starting November 20th we will roll out new card designs suitable for the upcoming holidays. Look for designs for Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas and the New Year. Maybe we will sneak in a few cards for winter, birthday and other generic days too. 

Here are the first three cards available this week, there is no limit to how many you can make. There is still time to drop a Thanksgiving or Hanukkah note in the mail.

Be Thankful

 

Happy Hanukkah!

If you have shopped for a card lately you will know that it is hard to buy one for under $5.00, and that is on the low-end! Cards are creeping up to the $6.00 or more mark very easily. Well, here at the store you can buy a card for just $3.00! Actually, you make your own card! This is even better than buying a generic card. 

All you will need to do is to come into the store with your tools in hand, we will have the cards all designed and cut out for you. You get to take advantage of making a homemade card without the stress of coming up with the design. The cards will be $3.00 for a 4×6 card, $4.00 for 6×6. Where can you buy a card so inexpensively and have the personal touch? This is a deal! Tools to bring: all types of adhesives, pop dots, Stickles and detail scissors. The rest is here for you.

Just drop in during store hours and let us know you are here for Card Frenzy!

What is our Design Team Up To? Tim Holtz, Kaisercraft & Authentique

Luci Brito, our Design Team Member, did it again! This month she was given a box of supplies from Tim Holtz, Kaisercraft & Authentique. What Luci turns around is always impressive! The front of our store has a display that will get you in the Holiday spirit thanks to Luci’s creative decor.

Luci’s first project was creating a shadow box worthy of staying out all year! She started off using Tim Holtz Idea-ology “Configurations Shadow Box”.

Tim Holtz Idea-ology “CONFIGURATIONS”
6.75″ X 8.75″ Shadow Box

Configurations are dimensional shadow boxes made from strong paper board making them inkable, paintable, collagable, and best of all – configurable! You can fill this box with all of the tiny treasures you want, we carry plenty in the store. Tim Holtz Idea-ology items are a perfect addition. Add color, paper, trinkets, feet and so on. There is no limit to what you can do!

Luci’s Masterpiece

 Kaisercraft – Beyond the Page Collection – Christmas – “Stocking Garland” covered with Authentique Christmas paper made an adorable, fast and east album.

Stocking Album by Luci

As we have seen before, Luci used the Tim Holtz “Tattered Poinsettia” and “Snowflake” dies to add dimension and interest.

Explosion Box

Have you ever hears of an explosion box? Do you know where it gets it name? Open the lid to find out…

BOOM!

Surprise!

There it is! Take off the lid and the four walls “explode”. dropping down to reveal a surprise inside. This never gets old. Using layers of Authentique paper and some creative cutting you too can make this. It is easier than you think to make one.

Using the same supplies and techniques Luci did the same thins with these blocks.

Decorative blocks

 Thank you Luci for your creativity and making our display merry and bright.
