we will be making these fun Rudolph "NOSES". I just love these bags and we bought tons of them for goodie gifts!
"rudolph's red noses" are actually red hots. they fit into the bags so nicely. you get 100 pieces for 9.00. that's less than 10-cents a treat! the red hots and m & m's and other little circular treats automatically stack on top of each other when you place the candy inside. it's so cool!
please join us on friday and see what "must haves" we put on our 50% off table. also we will have our new schedule of classes for january-march 2011!!!! it's also on our website at:
hope to see you this friday!
It's time to start thinking about your holiday family photo. Most of the time, we'll take it during thanksgiving! We are still waiting for our proofs.. however...I do have my Christmas card idea... these are three of the four layouts we'll be working with.. these are so fun!
This is kelley's Christmas photo card..it's a french door look. when you open it up, you will see her beautiful family and greeting.
the stamps i used were just one! it's the pointsettia by memory box. i embossed it in judikins red embossing powder and then stamped the inside with warm red fluid chalk by colorbox. the stickles are christmas red.
this next photo card is for laurie.. i am still waiting for her family pix.. so i used our family photo as the guinea pig. it's an easel card that will fit an a6 photo! so pretty! i love the crisp winter colors.
and the last photo to share will be used for my christmas card this year.
i had to use an old pix of miles until our family photo is here. but i totally knocked this card off from the gal's at savvy stamps. i saw lara's layout on their blog:
www.savvystyle.typepad.com and thought.. wowwwwwww... what a cool card using their birch trees.. so i changed out the color and here it is. i love how they used a brown cardstock for their greeting and it hung on the trees.. sooooooo clever! i love their ideas!
if you're interested in this class.. we'll help you with layout, color and we can print your greeting for you as well! the classes are:
Sunday, Nov. 28 4pm-6pm and Sunday, December 5th 4pm-6pm cost: $45
please call the store if you are interested in this class and don't forget to bring your photos! 916 487 2737
Please join us for another fun asian card class.. this time representing Nagano, Japan.
Saturday, November 20th 6pm-8pm and Monday, November 22nd 10am-12pm cost: $35
Here are the cards we'll be making!
This lantern stamp is by impress. as you can see.. i stamped it once and then heat set it with gold detail.. i then stamped it again on cream colored cardstock in the ink dove grey and just cut out the center. i then stamped a cherry blossom by memory box for the background and used a chop.. of course..i heat set that too! i love to emboss!
This next card is nice and clean. I stamped the crane in black and used a random floral stamp for the background. the flowers are by impression obsession and the crane is by judikins.
this next card is made with stamps.. all by memory box. i stamped this pretty branch and embossed it in gold. i then took a kimono stamp and embossed it with gold as well.. but the kimono is on the green cardstock so it gives a different feel. so elegant!
this next card uses various cherry blossoms by memory box.. i randomly stamped them all over using just black/red and white!
this next card has fun shapes and very little stamping.. just a lot of punches! it reminds me of a big panel that would be at a sushi bar!
this last card is one of my favorites. i stamped an asian newsprint for the background and then heat set this beautiful flower in red. it's very striking with the red embossing powder! so lovely!
please call the store at 916 487 2737 if you are interested in this class!

Please join us for a fun fall card making class on Friday, November 19th from 10am-12pm and 6pm-8pm. cost: $35
here are the cards we'll be making!
This card i used a random number of all stamps and used circle punches and different shapes to make a hodge podge card. i used stamps by a muse, memory box and the cat's pajamas.
this card is very elegant and you can change the leaf stamp to go with the different seasons. it's just a curved leaf by memory box and i stamped it to make a wreath! then i used liquid pearls and gemstones to bling it up!
this next card i used a random number of flower stamps and of course used fall like colors to make them all pop! stamps are by a muse and memory box. the wishing you a happy fall is great too! it has a mini falling maple leaf on the side! so cool!!
this next card is stamped with mums by savvy stamps and the dill leaf is stamped and embossed in white by a muse. the cardstock colors in olive make this a beautiful fall card.
this card is my favorite. it's very simple. no glitter not pearly cardstock. just a white cardstock with a beautiful luxe texture (cardstock weight is 100#--exquisite!). i then colored the flower stamp by savvy with copics.. as my son miles says..easy peasy!
this last card.. i used a brocade stamp by memory box and then a discon't leaf set by kodomo (we have like 8 sets left)..it's one of my favorite sets.. and i will be upset when these are all gone..cause i have about 8 samples with these leaves. so if you want the set.. make sure you take pix of our card samples with these leaves.. you will want the set!!!
please call the store at 916 487 2737 if you are interested in this class!
