Thank You!

I just want to say "Thank You!" to those of you who attended tonight's Artsy Butterfly Cards class! It was wonderful to meet a lot of you for the first time and I hope to see you again! You are all so wonderful to work with and I love seeing how you changed up the cards to make them your own!

For those of you who were interested in more information about the paper ribbon from Little Black Dress Designs, you can find information on their product page. They have the ribbon in all sorts of colors and also have ideas for what to do with it. From reading on their website I learned that you can activate the adhesive used in the manufacturing process by wetting the ribbon and pressing it to your paper. I tried it, and it works! You have to hold it down for a few seconds to get it to stick, but then it adheres nicely. It's a neat trick!

Thanks again for attending the class tonight. I hope you had a nice time - I know I did, thanks to all of you!!

March Card Kit

This month's card kit was designed by Elizabeth Wickland and is a four card set to get you in the mood for spring! The kit utilizes papers from the Tres Jolie collection and paper ribbon from Little Black Dress designs. The kit also includes 3 Heidi Swapp ghost butterflies and this great stamp and bling set from Hero Arts!

The kit is $15 and includes everything you need to make these beautiful pink and orange butterfly cards, perfect for Spring! Customize them using whichever sentiment fits your needs best and keep the stamps to use for many cards to come! Kits will be available for pickup the first couple weeks of April. To order, call or stop by Keepsakes by the end of March!

March Mini Album Kit

This month's project kit is an envelope album, perfect for filling with photos and letters for someone you love. Designer Elizabeth Wickland chose to fill this album with letters for her daughter, but it would make a beautiful mother's day gift and keepsake as well. You will receive a complete set of instructions in addition to the kit supplies, so you can customize this album however you want, using different papers if you so choose. This album is made using the Tres Jolie papers, overlays, buttons, journaling squares, and border stickers from My Mind's Eye. Each album includes three envelopes with inserts and 3 overlay pages bound with the Bind It All system. The kit costs $20 and will be available for pick up the first couple weeks in April. To sign up for the kit, call Keepsakes or stop by before the end of March.

Tranparency Card Class

by Elizabeth Wickland

Thank you to all who came to the class tonight! It was so nice to see fresh faces and to get to know some of you a little better! I hope you had a wonderful time, too. I loved seeing how you adapted the cards to your own style, including turning some of them on end. You inspired me and each other - thank you! Here are the pictures of each card for your reference. Feel free to print them out and use them as inspiration for more transparency cards! Try using different transparencies and papers to make similar cards. I know Rosie is planning to stamp her own transparencies to use. Let us know how they turn out!
