NOVEMBER WORKSHOPS

We had a nice turnout for the airplane card, with three new visitors. Everyone liked this more challenging design. My thanks to Sandy for helping out. Also welcome back snowbirds, who are starting to return.

November is a little different. The forth Friday is the day after Thanksgiving, so we will be working on our own projects and share a social time at 3:30PM.

The second Friday is at 1PM and Diane is our presenter. Diane is supplying all the paper, cardstock, ribbon, tag, ink, and stamps, at no cost. The only thing you need to bring is your tape runner and pop dots. See you on November 9th.

 

OCTOBER 26TH WORKSHOP AT 3:30

First, I want to thank Pat for her presentation of embossing with dies. We found it fun and creative. 

Next is our October 26th workshop. I will be presenting this one. I am supplying some of the materials that will be needed. That will be $1.00 for the kit. You will need to bring your standard supplies. Also bring a tweezer. If you own the Stampin Up stamp set "Sky is the Limit" please bring it. You will also need dark blue cardstock [or navy or black], white cardstock, colored markers or pencils for the airplane, black ink, light blue ink, tape runner, scissors, trimmer, pop dots, a dauber [I may have some if you don't], and a cover or placemat, for your table.  

OCTOBER 12 WORKSHOP

Our next workshop is on October 12th. Please note that there is no workshop on September 28th. Please read the blog below this post to see more important information. Thank you.

Patricia Brown

is our next presenter for October 12th. This will be at 1PM. Her info, for what you need to bring, is as follows:

Double embossing requires cardboard mats, silicone mats and a Big Kick, cuttlebug, etc. 

Bring multipurpose platform, cutting plates, and any dies you may wish to try. 

If you want to make a mat, bring cardboard similar to cardboard in the back of DSP paper, or similar.

You will need tombow glue, cardstock, embossing folders and dies.  I will bring some as well.

I [Pat] will have a variety of samples to show you as well.

If you have the new Big Shot embossing mats, bring them as you can use them instead of the cardboard mats.

No fee for this workshop. Our club is looking forward to this double embossing technique.

 

Upcoming Workshops

The recreation department is using our room for another event and we will not have our workshop on September 28th. Our next workshop is October 12th.

I attended a meeting of the club volunteers. We are not allowed to start our workshops until it is the advertised time to begin. So: 1pm or 330pm. Do not start early, please.

There are only two or three people interested in making cards the Friday after thanksgiving and the Friday after Christmas. We will meet, and anyone can join us, however there will not be a program. We will just work together on our own projects.

I hope things cool off by our October meeting. Looking forward to seeing our returning snowbirds.

thanx all

Jeanette

August 24 workshop at 3:30

Thank you Jean for your presentation. Summer is a challenge for workshops with so many residents traveling.

Our next workshop is by Geri. She will show us how to print from stamps to tiles. Below is what Geri sent me:

I have tiles, ink, cork, Stazon ink, and some large stamps.
They well need double sided tape or a liquid glue. If they have a stamp they would like to use they can bring it.
Water soluble inks or paints cannot be used if you intend to use the tiles as coasters.

The cost is seventy-five cents for a tile.

 

AUGUST 10, 1PM, WORKSHOP

Our presenter is Jean. She asks to bring a craft mat for the table, mini mister or small container for water, watercolor paints , paint brush, and a heat tool.  There is no charge for the project. You will be making lovely flowers that can be used on your cards.
