TECHNIQUE TUESDAY!

Each month I do a Technique Tuesday class, and I teach different techniques to my customers. They love it! Class is $15, and in addition to the cards/projects you make, you will get a sample card that will have the technique directions on one side and a sample of the technique on the other side. This card is enclosed in a clear envelope and is punched to put on a key ring so you will have it for easy reference. Class in November is on November 11th and you can sign up for 10:00 a.m. to noon or 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., whichever time fits into your schedule! Below are photos of the things we will be making on November 11th. If you want to join the fun and learn these techniques, please RSVP no later than November 4th.

FAUX ALLIGATOR SKIN!

One of my customers found this technique online and wanted to give it a shot, so here's my version of it. From the photo it is difficult to see, but the black embossed cardstock has little lines it that actually make it look like alligator skin! This little purse opens up to hold a gift card too! This is a technique I will be demonstrating/teaching at the Technique Tuesday class on November 11th.

TWO-STEP STAMPING!

I absolutely love Stampin' Ups! selection of two-step stamp sets!! This stamp set is called Flight of the Butterfly. We will be learning how to master the two-step stamping technique at the Technique Tuesday class on November 11th.

SPOTLIGHTING!

This is a spotlighting card we will be making at the Technique Tuesday class on November 11th. I used the Fresh Cuts stamp set and then did my "Spotlight" with a circle punch.

TEMPLATE MASKING!

This is a masked template card that we will be doing at the Tuesday Techniques class on November 11th. I used the Boho Background stamp set with a circle punch to make my template.

BIRTHDAY CARD FOR MY BLOG!

My blog recently celebrated it's one year birthday, and one of my customers sent me this great card! I think it is so cute. I will definitely be copying the pattern for some cool cards that are sure to bring a smile to any recipient. Thanks so much for the awesome idea, Laverne!!

THE GREAT PUMPKIN!

This is a great pumpkin that Michelle made at our demonstrator get together. It's made totally with punches! AND Silvia then made an awesome tutorial for her blog. You can view the tutorial HERE.

WEDNESDAY DEMONSTRATOR SHARES!

Below are several "shares" that were created by the very talented demonstrators that I am honored to work with every Wednesday! I have included links to their blogs, if they have them, so you can see what other awesome things they are creating. Hopefully we will shame Caroline into starting a blog soon so that you can see what other wonderful things she has created.

I hope you enjoy the fruits of their labor!
