November 2010 Newsletter - Open House!

Stampin' Up! and Mary Kay Open House 

Join me and my friend Kelly for an Open House filled with food, fashion, crafts, cosmetics, make-and-takes, samples, door prizes, gifts, and great ideas.  

Make a Christmas card, pick up a stocking stuffer, make a gift box, and shop for your friends, family, and maybe for yourself!  

Drop in at Kelly's house any time between 10:00am and 4:00pm on Dec. 4th.  (RSVPs appreciated but not required.)

Address: 2113 Constitution Ave, Fort Collins (near Stuart and Shields).  

I will be showing a sneak peek at the new mini catalog, and taking workshop bookings for Sale-A-Bration - the best Stampin' Up! sale of the whole year!  Between Christmas and Sale-A-Bration, you won't want to miss this Open House!  

Christmas Card Stamp-A-Stack

Send some hand made cards this holiday season!  I guarantee, they will stand out from all the other store-bought cards your friends and family will receive.  Whoever receives your cards will know that you spent some of your precious time making a card just for them.  That will mean more than any holiday greeting.  

At this stamp-a-stack event we will be making 3 cards each of 4 designs, for a total of 12 cards.  The class fee will be $18.00, and includes instruction sheets so you can make more of these cards at home.  

All the cards have been designed to use a minimum of supplies, so you can place a reasonable order and have the materials to make as many holiday cards as you need!

"Clean and Simple" Workshop

The Clean and Simple style can be cute, elegant, or sophisticated... but it's always fresh, and it always makes an impression.  

The key to this style is to be as careful as you can on every step.  Since there are so few elements in each simple design, every element has to look good. This may sound intimidating, but with a little care you'll find making these cards is easy and fun.  

Christmas is the perfect time to try the clean and simple style, because with fewer layers, steps, and materials, it's easier to produce 10 or 20 greeting cards to send to family. 

Call me today to book a workshop!  We will all make a couple cards together, and with what you'll learn you'll be able to make your own Christmas cards using this fast and simple style.  

Using the Brayer

Wouldn't this winter-themed photo background be a fantastic holiday gift, with your own family photo of course?  Come to my class and learn all the easy techniques that go into it! 

We will also make a couple of greeting cards to gain further practice with the brayer, and to experiment with the emboss resist technique.  

Go home with two holiday cards, one holiday gift, a brayer tool, and at least three new, easy techniques learned!  

Please contact me by Dec. 4th to reserve your spot and to order your brayer to use during the class.
