Christmas Tussy Mussy Class - Nov 25th


Put on your Christmas creative hat, avoid the shopping crowds, and come to the Christmas Tussy Mussy Class on November 25 from 1 to about 3:30pm. The most elegant of the Victorian era paper crafts were the beautiful tussy mussies that were made to hold flowers. We will make a Tussy Mussy to be filled with gifts, candies or seasonal adornments such as holly, berries and ever greens. Hang the Tussy Mussy on a hook in your house for a sweet touch of Christmas elegance, hang it on your Christmas tree or favor a friend with this special gift. My tussy mussy is about 13" long.


This Tussy Mussy is made from one sheet of Christmas cardstock. I will bring a box full of trims, both modern and vintage, plus lots of other fun items to use on your project. From the store, you can purchase pearls, buttons, ribbons, and other items to make your special, one-of-a-kind Christmas decoration. Class cost is $10 and the material cost will depend on what you choose from the store and my stash.

You will need to bring these items to class: scissors, ink applicator, red ink, brown ink, green ink, decoupage glue, wet glue such as tacky glue, Scotch Quick Dry glue or Zip dry glue, Perfect Pearls mist or something like it, a glue gun and glue sticks (I have two in case you don't have one) and a small brush.

Hope to see you in class. Register for class by calling 364-4141.

November Penny Black Class.

Here's the cards for the Penny Black class on November 30 from 6pm - about 8pm. The medallion card sparkles with Glossy Accents and Smooch, a pearlized accent ink. The horizonal card is a money card for Christmas gift giving. The tri-fold card is a very easy card to make; it uses just two cuts and three folds. I'll cut and fold the card for you ahead of time, but you'll leave with written instructions. The fourth card uses glossy paper, embossed vellum which is colored with a metallic rub on substance and a pretty ribbon. Hope to see you in class. Call the store at 364-4141 to register for class.


By the way, if you sign up to Follow the All About Picture's blog, you'll automatically receive blog postings and will be the first to know what the class projects will be.  Please check out my blog at http://wendeedeal.blogspot.com/ for news about my classes.  Thanks, WENDEE

What to do with a rosette ....

Here's a few ways to use Rosettes, which are so popular right now.  Tim Holtz has two die cuts for making rosettes of varying sizes.  You can also makes rosettes with a small bit more effort using a scoreboard.  Come to the Make and Take on November 26 between 1 and 3pm and Wendee will show you how to make the treat bag in the right hand upper corner.  You'll go home with a bag and the knowledge of how to use Tim Holtz's rosette die cut.  Cost is $1.00 per bag.

November Paper Engineering Class

Wendee's Paper Engineering class will be on November 9th.  The Moose card is just two pieces of cardstock joined by accordian folded paper, with the moose (already cut) fit in between the folds.  The Snowman card is another Sizzix Karen Burniston die cut.  All of her die cuts are so easy to use.  On this one, there are notches that fit into slits - and that's how the whole thing is made !  The die comes with twig arms if you'd rather use them than the "I Love You This Much" stamp.  For the front of the card we'll make a belly band that is decorated with a gorgeous glitter snowflake that is topped by a Tim Holtz die cut rosette.  Hope to see you in class.  Call the store to register - 364-4141.

Tri Fold Christmas Decoration

Join Wendee on November 12 and make this gorgeous tri-fold Christmas decoration that would look beautiful on your mantle or could be given as a gift.  This is such an easy project !  The stamping and glitter are already on the paper and the chipboard.  All you have to do is cut out the paper, punch out the chipboard and then adhere them to the paper mache base as you wish.  Call the store to sign up - 364-4141.

Believe it or not, but that butterfly is made completely from paper! Come to class and learn how to make paper look like metal. We will be making a couple of interchangeable pieces. Necklace will be included. This would be a great gift. (it is only 57 days until Christmas from today...)

November Caboodle Class

Hello ladies!  Are you ready for another caboodle of cards??!! These are pictures of a couple in the batch, and as you can see, this batch is more masculine in nature, with papers from The Paper Loft.  There's fish, fishing lures, and other patterns and colors that lean to the guys!  Definately not girly, cutesy.  But.....that doesn't mean you couldn't take the same sketches we use in class, and substitute another whole different line of patterned papers and make it girly and cutesy!  Here's the extra supplies to bring to class besides your basic crafting kit:
Stitch stamp/stamp block
1" Bracket stamp
Sentiment stamps (1" or smaller, long horizontal, 1" wide vertical sayings)
Brown dye ink, or Dark brown chalk ink
3/4", 1 1/4" 1 3/4" and 1 3/8" circle punches

November Card Club

Hello ladies!  I tried to get a good picture of the pretty glimmer on this card, but can't do it justice!  This class isn't going to be a "technique" so much as it is introducing an ink that we haven't used before.  Think iridescent shimmer, twinkle and shine-just what snowflakes are, right?!!  Here are the supplies to bring to class besides your basic crafting kit (which is paper trimmer, tape runner/adhesive, pencil, ruler, detail scissors, glue dots, foam pop dots):
Opalite Ink (Nordic ice used here)
Foam pop dots
Snowflake dies/punches (in 3 different patterns or sizes)
Snowflake embossing folder
Die Cut machine
Sentiment stamp/stamp block
1/16th hole punch or piercing tool
