Cupcake Cards -- Saturday, January 9 and Wed. January 13th.

Please join us for one of my personal favorite classes!  cupcake inspired cards

we have two classes for you:

Saturdaay, January 9th 6pm-8pm and

Wed. January 13th 10am-12pm  cost:  $35

Here are some of the cards we'll be making.. i had a lot of fun creating these.

this first card is a brady bunch kind of card with 8 cupcakes.  Stamp by Karen lockhart and Memory box.

this next card is inspired by a cupcake book we carry in our store.  I mimicked the soft pastel colors.

this card reminded me of a french cafe.. kind of like serendipity's in new york.. without the iced hot chocolate.  Stamp by A Muse, Memory box and hero.

this next card inspired me by my friend tina whitted.  She made me the most adorable cards and put them in a very cute box she decorated.  She made similiar card like this with flowers.  I loved how she stamped them randomly and thought these cupcakes would look so cute like that!  thanks tina!

this last card is one of my favorites.  I stamped the new hero arts birdcage on acetate paper and cut it out and then stuck two cupcakes inside!  hahahahahaha.  they just need some wings.  the ivy stamp is a beautiful one by hero as well.  sentiment by A Muse. 

hope you can join us!  please call the store at 916 487 2737 if you're interested!  

 
  

Make and Take --Saturday

Please join us this Saturday, January 9th from 11:30--1:30pm for a free make and take.  My husband ken designed this "VERY" cool heart shaped box. 

It's already a BIG hit in our store.  You make this by punching out two scalloped hearts with the purple Marvy heart punch.  using a scor-pal, ken made the box.

You can put a heart shaped chocolate inside.

it fits well into the box.

on the other side of the box reads a valentine sentiment "be mine" -- so fun.  We'll give you all the dimensions and you can make a free treat this saturday.  Hope to see you soon!

Projects after the holidays

Here are a few things i've been busy with since christmas.

First -- Miles got a ton of presents from Santa, family and friends so of course, we sent out thank you cards and they are done and in the mail.  This is what i came up with for his thank you's.

I love the sentiment!  Stamp by A Muse.

Then i made 125 of these for a client whose mother is retiring!   She told her co workers she would retire when pigs fly.  This pig by a muse didn't have wings so i just made some and look how cute!

and then, another client is having her son's birthday a sports theme.. and he's turning 3.  we did a waterfall card.  by the way.. sign up soon for our waterfall card making class in a few weeks.  you will learn how to make this concept!  so fun.

so three as the "theme" and the details for the very bottom.  I created this with a vintage style look.  These cards and invitations are very interactive.  it's a great way to set the tone to a special day.
