April Techniques Class reminder

Please note that Wed., Apr. 11 is the Deadline to save your spot for this month's stamping class.
We will also potentially have a Sunday class on 4/22 if another person can come.
Bring a friend, hope you don't miss this one!

April Techniques Class

It's Spring, a great time for new beginnings and learning new techniques for fresh cardmaking!  We'll use the Stampin' Up Simply Scored board and its companion, the Diagonal Plate, which are indispensable tools that score precise creases for your cards and other projects. The Diagonal Plate can quickly make envelopes for those odd sized cards plus score unique folds that couldn't be done easily before.
In class we'll make a vellum envelope for our beautifully embossed (but over-sized) wedding heart card that's too gorgeous to hide in a standard envelope. The Summer Smooches card, which features designer paper and stamps that are a preview of new merchandise from the upcoming June 1 catalog, uses an Emboss Resist Technique with markers for big color impact.  We'll also make diagonal folds on the very clever kite card, sure to bring a smile to whomever you send it!
As with all my Technique Classes, you'll get written instructions with measurements for each project including 4 valuable charts for making multiple envelope sizes on with the Diagonal Plate.

Be sure to reserve a spot for yourself as well as a friend, you'l be glad you did!

Friday, Apri.13; 7:00-9:30pm
Sunday, Apr. 22; 2:00-4:30pm (minimum 2, note date change)
