Tim Holtz Vintage Christmas Cards

These vintage cards all feature the 2010 Tim Holtz Christmas stamps and dies, lots of fiber and trinkets and a fun ribbon rose technique. I took the photos late in the day and they look a little washed out - stop in the store and see the details! It is a three hour class - some of these techniques take some time to do properly! 5 cards in all and we will use the new perfect pearls spray. Class is Tuesday, December 7 and Saturday, December 11th.

November Point of View

A little Christmas fun...glitter, glaze pens, twinkling h2o´s, distress inks and of course - jet black archival! If you have jet black archival, versamark, vintage photo distress ink, red and green memento markers or red and green glaze pens, bring them along! The twinkling H2Oś I used were in the purple, blue and green families, but if you have some you love, bring them along...the tag could be made many ways. We will make 3 Christmas cards, a New Year card and 3 little Christmas tags. The class fee includes the WOOD mounted Impression Obsession tree stamp, so no need to bring a block! Class is Thursday, November 18th at 10:30 and at 6:30 - hope you can join us!















This card unfolds and reveals the stamped panel on the inside.



Colors are a little washed out here - it uses the BoBunny lavender. lime and aqua paper and is quite pretty!

Alcohol Inks with a Twist of Thanksgiving

OK, here we go...Thursday, November 11th and Saturday, November 13th. I realized I changed the stamped part of the burgundy card just above...gold embossed pops a little more, and I am missing one of the images but I will take another photo and get it posted. Three new techniques here for those of you who have taken the other alcohol ink classes I have taught. And if you do not need this many Thanksgiving cards, they would all make great Birthday cards and I will bring some birthday stamps along as well.

Point of View: October

Here are the five cards for Point of View this Thursday. To stamp the Unity tree stamp I used, brown and green markers (memento, but any dye markers will do, pool and stream paint dabbers, versamark and black detail embossing powder, jet black archival, tea dye and vintage photo distress ink and a blending tool for the vintage. For the leaves I used distress inks, reinkers and perfect pearls in an assortment of fall colors - just about any would work. Think peeled paint, rusty hinge, any of the browns, yellows or oranges - with blending tools! I will have everything at class, but if you want to work faster, bring along what you have in your stash and off we will go. Class is Thursday night from 6:30-8:30.

Halloween Pumkin Dude

This little guy is next weekś class - and while we will make him using a glitter pumpkin you can easily adopt this idea to real pumpkins of any size. You will leave class with the hat pattern and the measurements for his cuff. This size sits on a stamped tag with a little Happy Halloween sign, but you could customize him many ways. Class is Thursday, October 14 from 1-3 or 6:30-8:30.
