Navy blue dye ink
Die cut machine
Embossing folder (I used sizzix "Thanks")
Goosebumps texture spray
Disposable sponge (make-up)
Silhouette tree scene stamp/stamp block if needed
2-way glue pen
Removable adhesive
Sponge ink applicator (like Tim Holtz, or big dauber)
Gray or weathered wood dye ink

Copic Markers


These are four rubber stamp images I've colored with Copic Markers.  I took a series of 8 (I think) classes last year at All About Pictures.  I need more experience and skill with shading.  I love these markers!  They use alcohol inks and re-fillable.  The beginner series is being taught again at the store, and there's a second series now offered to those who have taken the first series of classes.  I get into an almost ZEN feeling when coloring - very relaxing and very rewarding.  Check it out.

November Clean and Simple (CAS) Card Class

Here's another opportunity to get some Christmas cards done!  You'll make 4 cards in class, but these are designed to pack a WOW punch with very little time and effort-clean and simple, but beautiful and elegant at the same time.  This would make an easy gift pack for someone special, too!  Change the sentiment, and the ribbon, and it could be a wedding card, sympathy card, or congratulations!  At any rate, here's the supplies to bring to class besides your basic crafting kit:
Adirondack Raisin dye ink ( or other burgundy dye ink)
Sentiment stamp/stamp block
Damask embossing folder (Sizzix)
Die cut machine
Mini glue dots
Foam pop dots

Class is scheduled for Friday November 18th from 10am to noon.  If you have any questions or need to reserve your stamping spot, please call All About Pictures at 364-4141.  Happy stamping!  ~Kim~
