Pretty in Pink Card Class ~ August 22

I've got another card class open and ready for sign ups at Scrappin' Time!

Each of these fabulous 3D greetings were created with decadent black and hot pink. This collection is all about bold, rich colors and delicious textures: glitter, rhinestones and even velvet!

Please join me on Sunday, August 22 from 1-3pm and make a set for yourself!

Cost of the class is $25 and includes all the materials needed (please bring the basics: scissors, a strong adhesive (such as Zip Dry), pop-dots and a file).

Call the store at 702-898-7414 or stop by:

5915 South Eastern Avenue #106

to reserve your seat ~ space is limited!

Would you like to make the cards, but don't have the time to come into the store for the class?

Kits are now available!!

When you call to reserve the class, just mention that you'd like the kit only and I'll be sure to have it ready for you (along with pictures and detailed instructions for your convenience). Just pick it up and scrap at your leisure!!

Note: you can also purchase the paper.  It would look AMAZING on layouts, too!  You can pick up 2 sheets of each 12x12 print from my Etsy and ArtFire shops, too!

Paper Piecing Possibilities

 

Every once in awhile, I get into a paper piecing state of mind. I love the unique look that it gives and the flexibility it offers.

Here is a fun owl card that was made using brown and green embossed Bazzill card stock. It works so well with the Cosmo Cricket tree paper too!



 

My die-cutter of choice when paper piecing is the Sizzix.  It's nice to utilize a tiny piece of paper and to be able to cut through multiple layers at a time.

I also enjoy finding other crafters that can make one-of-a-kind paper piecing embellishments for me!  This special Alice in Wonderland card was made using the handmade die-cut from another Etsy selller, Kott Kreations.

This unique embellishment is completely pieced and penned by hand.  I wouldn't have had the time (or patience...or know-how) to do it myself.  This can be a little more expensive than doing it yourself, but it's a nice treat once in awhile and makes for an AMAZING card!

Here is another card in which I enlisted the help of a fellow Etsy crafter to make the paper pieced die-cut for me.  This darling owl was handmade by Lisa's Handmade Cards.  Her listing just grabbed me one night and I thought of all the potential in this terrific embellishment!

Whether you make it yourself, or seek out the help of "professionals", consider experimenting with paper piecing.  There are so many unique crafting possibilities in your future!
