An Artistic Christmas







Join me this coming Saturday afternoon for a couple hours of fun as we make these three Holiday themed cards at The Hen House Paperie. We will use two stamp sets from Artistic Outpost to create this set of cards that features lots of distressing (bring your Walnut Distress Ink pad and foam applicator), optional sewing, and some of the new bakers twine from The Twinery.I will show you how to add an embossed edge to your cards and to a dry embossed image for a special touch! The paper flower is made using a new Spellbinders die. You will love making this flower....bring your tweezers or quilling tool.

Class will be Saturday the 19th from 3:00-4:30.  I hope to see you there! 

Most of you have heard by now of the fire at China Phoenix 2 last Wednesday morning.  We are all so grateful that the shop kitty, Mr. Binx, survived and is expected to make a complete recovery! Clean up and restoration are well underway as Nancy and crew are working to get the shop back up and running just as quickly as possible.  Please keep Nancy in your thoughts and prayers. 

Vintage Halloween

Do you like vintage?  I have a passions for all things vintage, and love to scout thrift stores and garage sales for little bits of unexpected treasures from the past.  So when I came upon a stamp set by Artistic Outpost called Vintage Halloween I began to swoon.  The images are sweet and soft and remind me of old storybooks from my childhood. 

Artistic Outpost's Ephemeral Backgrounds was the perfect set to use as a backdrop for this set of cards.

My dad has called me "pumpkin" as long as I can remember making this sentiment extra special to me.

Join me this Friday afternoon, October 21, at 2:00 pm at  The Hen House Paperie for a fun afternoon when I will be repeating this popular class. We will make these three cards using Distress Inks, foam applicators, finger daubers, Stickles, and other fun touches for that vintage look. 

I hope to see you there!!
