News, News, News

What an awesome day! Sold several more of our garden concrete statues. If you're waiting to buy yours, don't wait too long, they're flying out the door! Our new neighbor, Mackey, came by to visit with her friend Chereen (I apologize if I spelled this incorrectly). 

Terri and Jan dropped by with a picture of what to expect in Terri's Envelope Surprise class next month; pretty cool!

 Everyone had so much fun in Lisa's Summer Fun class tonight and are begging for more of the "Pure Innocence" stamps cards. We will hopefully be bringing in MFT's Pure Innocence line soon as well as MFT's awesome dies for cutting! 

Tomorrow at 10:00 is Baker's Dozen with one opening and at 2:00 is the Dirty Dozen, with that class being full. If you're interested in the 10:00 class, stop down and take a chance that you're the first one there. You can call and see if anyone cancels at the last minute for the Dirty Dozen at two.

Vintage Cards

Join us Wednesday, June 15th, as we make these beautiful Vintage cards.  What a wonderful personal gift in and of itself.  Call the shop and sign up today!

Susan requests that you bring your paper cutter, scissors, adhesive, and quick dry tacky glue.  She will provide all other materials.

God Bless America!

Patriotic cards can be challenging to say the least.  It's funny when you have an idea for a class and you have the stamps, but you just can't put the two together in your head.  That's where my friend Marian comes in. I asked her to design this class and she did an awesome job!  I actually thought I had her stumped and then she took off with it.  This class is going to be offered at 12:30 and again at 6:30 on Flag Day!  June 14th!  If you don't normally send July 4th cards, think about sending them to someone who is or has served our country with a note of thanks.  Sometimes, a thank you goes so much further than anything else we can say.  Join Marian and myself on the 14th, you will make all four cards for $15.00.  Call and sign up!

Tree For Me

Many of you have taken classes with me in the past using the Judith Stamps to build different images.  Susan is offering "Tree For Me" as another fun class using Judith Stamps.  These are fun, colorful and can be used for most occasions!  If you're new to stamping or have been stamping for a long time, join her next week and learn the art of masking as well as having a ball making these three adorable cards!  Call the shop and sign up right away!

Dressed for Success

You've seen the cards in the store and maybe even bought one.  Now you have the chance to make them yourself.  Wednesday, June 1, at both 12:30 and then again 6:30, join Susan and make four of these and get the materials to make four more at home.  If you purchase paper or cardstock at the shop during class, you may stamp the image as many times as possible. 

Susan and I played with this stamp several years ago and had a ball.  The dress card is a fun card to make and always surprises you when it's done.  The stamp is from Art Impressions.  Call and sign up asap so that Susan can make sure she has enough for everyone!

Memorial Day

As the mother-in-law of a military member; as the wife of a veteran; as a military wife who moved around the world in support of her husband; I pause to remember all those who have given their life for our freedom.  In today's world, almost everyone knows someone in or related to the military.  Be sure and thank our military personnel and veterans, as well as their families, for all they give up for our freedom.  Not only today but every time you get a chance.

Spring Fashion Show

 I never need to get sick again!  A couple of months ago I had bronchitis and as I sat snuggled under my blanket in my recliner, many class ideas came to me.  OMgosh!  Here is the Spring Fashion Show Class which is scheduled for May 25th at 12:30 and 6:30.  All the prep work is done for you including cutting.  You will make 4 cards in this class with lots of ribbon, pins, bling, unusual cuts and much more.  These are really fun cards, and it makes me want to go shopping really bad!  Ya'll know what a "fashionista" I am, roflmao!  Call the shop and sign up today!

Watercolor 2

Whether you took Watercolor 1 or not, you won't want to miss Watercolor 2 with Susan.  Not only will you be stamping and painting these 4 cards, but you'll be watercoloring flowers and lace.  Fun techniques that we played with in Ink or Dye a couple of months ago!  LOVED the lace!  So much fun and absolutely beautiful!  Call and sign up today!

Trip to the Orient

We have gotten sooo many Asian stamps in the shop that Susan is offering her "Trip to the Orient" again. 

This picture really doesn't do these cards justice.  You will be using Mitzuhiki (sp?) cords, metal coins, embossing and much more in this class!  You really don't want to miss out on this one!

STRETCH A SKETCH

 A play on the name of the toy that I loved as a child! Etch-a-sketch. Stretch A Sketch is another way of being creative. So often we get in a rut and all our cards start looking the same. Every month I'm going to take a card sketch and design 5 cards using the same sketch. From elegant to cute. From sophisticated to fun. One sketch = Five different cards. This first month I used a very simple sketch. They will get more involved as we go along. So if you're in a creative funk and need some inspiration, than this is the class for you! Call and sign up today!

 

SYMPATHY CARDS

I always struggle making sympathy cards.  They seem to be a challenge to a lot of us according to most of you.  So I have decided to have a class where you will make 5 sympathy cards.  Hopefully you will never need all of these, but we all know that you probably will.  Join me on Wednesday the 11th at either 12:30 or 6:30 or on Saturday the 14th at 2:00 for the Sympathy Card class.  You must call the shop and sign up for any class you want to take.  We want to make sure we have enough room for everyone and that we have enough supplies. 

IRIS FOLDING

If you've never tried this easy beautiful card making idea, then now is the time!  Susan has created 4 cards using this technique and you don't want to miss out.  You will make the cards and have the patterns to go home and make many more.  Join her next Tuesday at either 12:30 or 6:30.  Call and sign up while there is still room!

Spring Has Sprung

Join me next Friday at either 12:30 or 6:30 as we make 5 cards, all with a spring theme.  I'm really tired of the dreary weather and decided the best way to beat the winter blues is to welcome spring with open arms!  What better way than cards with flowers and butterflies.  So let's have fun making cards and hanging out!  Call me and sign up today!

Quilling with Christy

I am so excited to have Christy Rolf join our team of amazing teachers!  Christy has been teaching Quilling for a number of years and has graciously agreed to join us at C-Shore Creations, inc.  Next Thursday night is Quilling 1 at 6:30.  You will learn the basics of quilling including tension, shaping, etc.  We will be offering Quilling 2, Quilled Frames, and much, much more in the coming months.  You must have taken Quilling 1 in order to take the other classes.  The only way around this would be if you are a quiller already.  We will be offering Quilling 1 again next month, but don't miss out on the fun.  There are two spaces left for next Thursday, call me and sign up right away.  Below are samples of Quilling 2 and Quilled Frames to give you a sneak peek.
