New Jersey crafters, I'd love for you to come and get INKY with me at Paper Anthology! In my new class, "Let's Get INKY" we’ll blend Ranger's Distress Oxide Inks on plain cardstock, through a stencil and atop white-embossing; then we’ll stamp, we’ll stencil, we’ll overstamp in Ranger Archivals, we’ll stencil a bit more, we’ll do a little bit of coloring (with Tombow Dual Brush Pens), we’ll diecut and… well, we will generally celebrate all the stamping techniques that made us love this hobby, but we’ll revisit them in new ways for a fresh, eclectic look. This class features stamps, stencils, dies and gorgeous butterfly ephemera from Aall & Create as well as Ranger Inks. Details dates and sign-up info on the Paper Anthology Blog!

Pushing the Envelope
Prepare to DIE-cut and join me at Paper Anthology for this brand new two-card class that really DELIVERS! Yes, you read that right, we'll only be making TWO cards this time, but they're BIG cards, measuring 5.5 x 7" each... because they're built around Spellbinders' Envelope of Wonder die set which really makes an amazing statement.
These can be Valentines, Galentines, extra-special birthday greetings or pretty much anything you choose. We'll be using Concord & 9th's Layers of Love stamp set for the sentiments, and students can choose from a variety of greetings, or hedge your bets and leave them blank. Oversized envelopes will be provided.

It's a SHELL-ebration!
Join me at Paper Anthology for a new three-card class that’s BEACHY keen!
We’ll color images from Honey Bee’s Seashells stamp set with Distress Watercolor Pencils (wait until you try them!); and add sentiments from Honey Bee’s Flippin’ Fabulous set. Make a splash with papers from Photoplay’s Beach Vibes collection, fall in love again with old-school round eyelets when paired with May Arts Burlap String, then finish off with colorful diecut foliage and golden sequins. The only question is, will you send these sunkissed cards to your favorite folk, or be SHELLFISH and keep them?
Visit the Paper Anthology Blog for details of dates, times, etc.; I'd love to see you there!

Are We There Yet?*
Rev up your engine and race to join me at Paper Anthology this March, for a brand new, fun-fueled FIVE Car(d) Class featuring Honey Bee’s Car Show Stamps and Dies, called (as you may have guessed) "Are We There Yet?"
We’ll color the cars, add them to simple collages of pre-cut map and patterned paper shapes, add washi tape, then construct the easiest ever presentation folder (seriously, it’s two score lines and one cut!) to hold them.
The only problem will be deciding whether to send the cards to five different friends… give them as a set to one special person, or… keep them for ourselves!
Cruise on over to the Paper Anthology Blog for details and dates available!
♥♥♥♥♥
*When I was working on this class, I was mentally using the title, "VROOM with a View"; luckily Elisabeth talked me down, lol! :)
