Distress Demo.

In December there was a Distress demonstration in the shop.

In the demo Jill showed our customers how to use the Distress Markers and Distress Ink pads.

No you are not seeing things. Yes, Jill (or the Purple People Eater as I now call her) does have purple hair. She is not a Dockers supporter, she just loves, loves, loves purple (and it really suits her).

Surfboard Card Classes

Our new classes will be running from this Fri for several weeks.  We will be using Distress Markers and Water Brushes along with one of the gorgeous Darkroom Door photo stamps, charms  and BoBunny 12" printed paper to recreate the Surfboards card that some of you may have already seen.  Jill has also coloured the image using a variety of different mediums so that you will be able to see how you can maximise the use of the stamp.  The classes will cost $35.00 and run for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.  At the completion of the class you will take home your completed card and a kit valued at more than $22.00 containing the stamp, charms and enough paper product to make two more cards at home.

Classes are as follows:

* Friday 16 August @ 12.00 noon and 2 pm

* Wednesday 21 August @ 9.30am, 12.00 noon and 2 pm

* Friday 23 August @ 9.30am, 12.00 noon and 2 pm

* Saturday 24 August @ 9.30am, 12.00 noon and 2 pm

The only thing you will need to bring is yourself and a roll of double sided tape.

Birds and Butterflies

One of our recent displays in the shop was this collection of cards using this sheet of rubber stamps from Stamp It. We had lots of fun creating with this collection of images.

We also used Sizzix Framelits dies (Squares, Tickets), Distress Ink (Dusty Concord, Peeled Paint, Tea Dye, Fired Brick, Rusty Hinge), Staz On, Kaiser printed paper, Kaiser Pearl + Rhinestone Flourishes.

You may have also seen the stamps featured on our boxes.

Don't forget that all product used on the cards are available at Crafty Capers.
