I hope you can join me for my first class at my new Studio! Learn rubber stamping and other paper craft techniques as we make Valentine cards. Participants will be provided with enough paper and cardstock to make four cards, four different card sketches and written instructions to take home. I’m not sure if we will have time to go through all four cards step-by step as a group, but once you know the techniques for the first card you will be able to complete the other cards on your own if you want to.

I will have paper, cardstock, templates, rubber stamps, punches, decorative scissors, ink, stamp pads, paper cutters, markers, stamp mounting blocks, tape, glue sticks, colored pencils and other tools and supplies available for you to use during the class. If you have any of the following tools or supplies, it would be helpful to bring them – there will be less wait to use tools if participants bring some – but it’s not a requirement. If you bring tools please mark them to indicate ownership.

Optional tool and supply list:
Clean scrap paper
Bone folder
Metal ruler
Craft knife (X-Acto or something similar)
Cutting mat
Scoring tool
Pencil
Eraser
Rubber stamps (Valentine themed, postal themed, alphabet stamps)
Stamping ink pads and re-inkers in the following colors: Black, dark brown, rust brown, red, lt. ochre, hot pink, lt. gray, lt. tan
Acrylic stamp mounting blocks
Double-sided tape
Paper cutter
Heart shaped punches

Scissors

If you have any questions about the class please feel free to contact me.

Four of the eight available spaces are filled, so don’t wait too long to reserve a spot if you are interested! If you choose to pay ahead of time to get the discount for pre-paying, I will send you a PayPal invoice via email. Beginner stampers are welcome. Children under 18 must be enrolled with a parent as I think parents are best able to judge their child’s ability level and what tools they should be allowed to use.

Supplies for the class are included in the class price. I will have some paper crafting supplies available for purchase the day of the class in case you see anything you want to add to your stash but you will not need to purchase anything additional to make the class project.
