January Techniques Class Reminder

Just a quick note, tomorrow Tuesday Jan. 6th is the last day to save a spot for the Stamp Class this month.  Friday's class looks to be lots of fun, let me know if you can make it!

January Technique & Fancy Folds Class

   With the new Occasions Mini catalog out, we have lots of new stamps,papers, tools and accessories to try out!  (If you didn't get your free copy yet, be sure to pick one up in class.) What a perfect time to learn some new techniques and folds that produce clever and interactive projects!

Cards and box opened

   The first is a double-flip circle card, using the Big Shot Circle Thinlits die. With a few simple alterations, you can easily make this special card that gives the recipient a really fun surprise when it opens up. Birthdays, get well, thank you, and so many other events have many options for additional words or images as the card flips open.
   Next we have the Slide/Flip Pocket card, which took me a little while to figure out how to keep the card connected, but is actually quite simple now that it's done.  The materials to assemble the card are almost all from the new SAB promotion (see below) so it's practically free to make!  What a great way to show off the coordinating SAB papers, ribbons, and buttons.  Even the 3-step stamped flower is a free SAB set, and so easy to align when you use clear photopolymer stamps.
   Finally we have the special little box with its beautiful lacy butterfly die cut accent.  But don't you love how it folds up perfectly flat when stored, ready for use at a moment's notice?  I can see making a few of these in different colors and Designer Prints, then popping them open whenever the need arises.  They are perfect for jewelry or other small gifts, sweet treats, or a gift card; no wrapping needed and it can be recycled and reused!
   As with all my Techniques Classes, all projects include printed instructions with measurements so that you can duplicate them easily yourself.

Final Call for Christmas Stamp-A-Stack!

Just a last reminder that tomorrow, Nov. 30 is the last day to sign up for this year's Christmas SAS! If you have not already replied to me to save your spot with your card choices, it's very important that I hear from you ASAP.  (This is especially true for the Snowflake Flip Card, Design #3, which is by far the most popular choice as there is currently no more of the Designer Paper left as shown.)  I'm about half way through prepping everyone's kits, looking forward to some productive creativity here next weekend!
