Decorative Sentiments Die Class
Join me as we make four beautiful cards using the Emily Moore decorative sentiments die set. One of the cards will be a cute shaker card. All of the cards have a bit of added interest on the inside. So fun!  All participants, if they choose to purchase the die set, acetate, or shaker bits, will receive 20% off those items. They may order or purchase them when registering for the class or when at class.  
Please bring your normal class kit including glue and/or adhesive. If possible bring small foam dots and narrow foam strips. If you have markers in your favorite flower colors, bring them and I'll show you how you can use them, instead of colored card stock, for your flowers. (For my sample card, I used pink, blue, yellow markers for the flowers and two shades of green for stems).  Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Sunflowers
In this class we will make four cards with a sunflower theme.  Because sunflowers are a bloom that follows the sun, they have come to represent positivity, light and joy.  I think we all could use a little of that. The cards can be used for all occasions. Please bring your regular class kit:  trimmer, scoreboard, scissors, adhesives and dimensionals. Hope to see you then.

Book Lover's Cards Part 1 with Kathy - PLEASE NOTE NEW SUNDAY TIME 1:00 PM
Our last classes with books as a theme were a big success. This is Part 1 of a 2-part class. Helen will be doing Part 2 in September where you will use the balance of your Ciao Bella Book. You will initially purchase the "Book Lovers Junk Journal and Ephemera Book" from Ciao Bella at the store (Student 10% discount will apply at registration or at class, but you do need the book for class.) There are 32 pages with 160 cut and create images that we will use to make 4 cards in each class using elements in the books for all the book lovers in your life. You will need your regular class kit, fussy cutting scissors and various adhesives for me. No coloring is involved in this class. The images are beautiful and will make some striking cards.  Join me and later Helen to get ideas to use this beautiful book so you can create even more cards at home. This is a great way to learn how to use not only Ciao Bella, but Stamperia and other vendor's junk journal ephemera books which are the new rage!

Journaling Club - Open To All
Do you need some "ME" time in your life?
If you ever kept a journal or diary, or never did either of those, Creative Cards and Crafts has a new group just to relax, talk, stamp, draw, create a page background with a new product, share stories, etc. with other like-minded crafting ladies. We can share treats, thoughts, good or bad things happening to us, friendship, etc.  Journaling is a way to just forget about the world for a bit and just relax, let your thoughts collide and be creative.
