Well here it is, the last sneak peek into this weekend’s classes!

And this might be the class I’m most excited to teach – the tag mini album! I made a similar one in Orlando but amped it up and added a few more techniques especially for this class – I hope people are ready to get inky and messy!

I stuck with red, pink, orange, and yellow for mine, and added one of my favourite Dylusions sentiment stamps to the front:

Dylusions - cover

Along with the main manilla Jumbo #12 tags, we are also using kraft:

and black:

And just for fun, here’s some little sneaks of a couple more pages!

We’ll be stamping, with my favourite waterproof ink, Archival:

And colouring with Ink Sprays:

Dylusions - misted and coloured page

Have you signed up for any (or all!) of the classes yet? You should, we’re going to have a blast! And, as a bonus, you get to go home with some great product, especially in this class! 😉

I’ll try to find time to tweet and instagram some pics over the weekend so if you’re too far away to attend or have to work all weekend (we’ll miss you Lori!) then check out my feeds to see some of the fun!

Weekend of Fun | Ranger Metallic Stain Cards

Christmas Cards, Classes, Ranger, The Paperie, Weekend of Fun

The only class I’m teaching this weekend that is exactly as I did it in Orlando are the Ranger Cards using Metallic Distress Stains – they’re so great, why would I mess with them?

The main part of the cards are, of course, tags, which are then layered on a card base. There’s the Fired Brick one:

Ranger - reindeer

The fabulous poinsettia die is the star here, and the shimmer from both the Metallic Stain and the Rock Candy Stickles is awesome!

And then the Broken China one:

Ranger - snowman

This has the Snowman from the Christmas Blueprints set as the hero, along with the mirror sheets:

Since I loved that stamp set so much, I made a few other tags just as samples!

I went with a darker blue, Chipped Sapphire, for the Tin Soldier:

Ranger - soldier

And with a brighter Barn Door red for the Tree:

Ranger - tree

But my favourite has to be the Snowflake, layered over Picked Raspberry Pink with a combo of Tarnished Brass and Brushed Pewter Metallic Stains:

Ranger - snowflake

I hope the Paperie has lots of these Stains in stock because I think everyone in class is going to want all three colours. And since you get to go home with one, you only have to buy two more! 🙂

See you tomorrow with the last class sneak – the day long Dylusions Tag album!

Weekend of Fun | Ranger Mini Canvases

Canvas, Classes, Ranger, The Paperie, Valentine's Day, Weekend of Fun

I’m back again with a look at another one of the classes this coming weekend – Ranger Mini Canvases!

The ones in Orlando were Hallowe’en themed and since we’re well past that now I redid them in a love theme. These can be used as Valentine’s decorations, or as Valentine’s to give, but they can also just be pretty pieces to hang in your craft space, or a nice friendship “just because” gift.

I went a bit grungy with this first one, making the canvas and rosette a bit distressed, and then added word flags:

love

love

Lots of fun layers and dimension too:

The second one I decided to keep a bit cleaner and brighter:

flirt

And added to the sparkle of the tinsel twine with a glittery heart!

We still have some space available in these classes so be sure to check out the class descriptions and then call The Paperie to sign up for any or all – we really are going to have a great Weekend of Fun!

Weekend of Fun | Impression Obsession Cards

cards, Classes, dies, Impression Obsession, The Paperie, Weekend of Fun

If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram, you’ll have seen some sneak peeks of this weekend’s Weekend Of Fun at the Paperie! I’ll be teaching 4 classes inspired by the trip I took to Orlando this fall and it’s going to be a great couple of days! There’s still time to sign up so call the Paperie to reserve your spot ASAP!

Today I’m showing you the 4 cards we’ll be making in the Impression Obsession class.

I love Impression Obsession stamps – their Cover a Card backgrounds are fabulous – but in this class we’re focusing on their dies, the wreath die to be exact.

This is a super intricate die and it cuts the most beautiful twiggy wreath perfect for Fall:

Inside the sentiment continues to say, “…For You.”

I love the bit of sparkle that Rock Candy Distress Stickles add!

This one is my favourite but I can’t take credit for that awesome nest idea!

I’ll be back tomorrow with my first 12 on Twelve pics of the year, and I’ll be showing you more class samples throughout the week. Going to be a fun and crafty one around here!
