Still time for Christmas Creating!

We are bringing you the opportunity to complete some last minute Christmas creations. Our designers have a few Holiday classes to get you in the spirit or keep you in the spirit!

Embossed Forest Card class Wednesday Dec 8th 10:30am-12:30(1)pm: Teresa's Embossed Forest cards have been very popular. By request we are running a 4th class. Come to this class for the pure pleasure of making these stunning cards or to learn how to incorporate other products into the embossing paste for a whole new look.

Altered Art Tags: As this is a longer class we have broken it down giving you 2 class options.

Option 1: A 2-night class

Part I Thursday Dec 9th from 7-8:30pm and Part II Tuesday Dec 14th from 7-8:30pm

Option 2: take both sessions on the same day

(Part I & II) Sunday Dec 12 from 12:30-3:30pm

This class is more about learning altered art techniques than it is about the tags…You will be taught the secret to how Tim Holtz, the Altered Art Guru, creates vintage / shabby chic projects….
The class will include:
An introductory course to Ranger's product lines and one of a kind tools for Altered Art which can be used for making cards, scrapbooking and altered art projects and much more…. Learn how to use the following Ranger products: “distress ink pads”, embossing powders, alcohol inks , Adirondack dabbers, Perfect Pearls, Ink Essentials Adhesives, Distress Stickles, Distress Crackle Paint. And the list goes on…………

This is the 2nd time we are running this class! This class will give you some fantastic tags for your special gifts that you give over the holidays!

Stamp-A-Stack Friday Nov 26th Registration deadline is TODAY!

ONLY 4 SPACES LEFT!

Come join us on Friday Nov 26th and get your card collection underway!

My home studio Stamp-A-Stacks were a great hit, therefore, I am going to start them here at the store. Here are the details:

• Do you enjoy making cards?


• Want to get together with a bunch of fabulous people and create cards?


• Want a little choice in what you make?


• Want a class that is self-paced?

Here's how it works:

• I design a number of cards.


• All of the supplies for each card will be organized in a plastic bin.


• The bins will be lined up on the workshop workstation table.


• You just go pick a bin, and start creating!


• All that you have to bring is your Basic Kit and you're ready!

Members fee: $18.00, Non-Members fee: $20.00. These fees will cover 6 cards. You may choose to create additional cards for $2 each. There will be at least 8 different cards for you to choose from. (only 3 of the 8 cards are shown in the picture).

This class is self-paced. You should have some card-making experience as minimal instruction will be provided, but I will be there to guide you along the way and help as needed.
You can work on your cards on your own but sometimes a group of people like to work together. So you choose what works best for you. When you are done making a card, just return the bin with all of the supplies to the main table and pick up another bin, and so on. You can make as few as 6 cards or choose to make extras during a 3 hour period.

Registration is on a first-come first-serve basis. So please register as early as possible. Registration cut off is TODAY Monday November 22nd (or when class is full-10 SPACES Available) in order to allow for preparation. A lot of time is needed for staff to prepare the materials for this class. So registering ASAP is preferable. Many thanks!

Note: Cards may be designed using a variety of mediums: stamps, die cuts, paints, etc. They are not necessarily all "stamped" cards. Variety is the spice of life!

Class Time: 6-9pm
Course Length: 3 hrs
Location: 2-50 Burnside Road West
Non-Member Cost : $20.00 + tax
Member's Cost: $ 18.00+ tax

Instructor: Stacey
Please call 250-590-1266 to register as space is limited.

Hope to see you on Friday!

Teresa's Embossing Paste class!

What a great group for Teresa's Embossing Paste class featuring the Dreamweaver Bare Tree Stencil! This is a picture from her 1st class. Her 2nd class is scheduled for November 16th from 6-8:30pm.

Teresa is a VERY talented person and we are VERY lucky to have her. If you have taken any of her classes, you will know what I am talking about. It is the little details that Teresa adds to her cards and projects that give her work a special touch.

Did you know that Teresa is an incredible artist, and by artist I mean painter! You should see her watercolour paintings! We're not talking colour by number. She has a true gift. We are hoping to highlight more about Teresa in the weeks ahead. But we want you to know that you don't need to go far to learn incredible techniques, or how to create that extra special card or project. The talented designers that we have are amazing. We also have some NEW designers joining us and we can't wait to tell you more! We just feel that you need to know more about them. Look for special designer highlights and profiles in the weeks ahead!
