Saturday's Class

Hi all! Just a reminder of our class on Saturday. Thank goodness the paper came in this week. Attached are pictures of our project.

I've been at my parent's house all week so it's been a little difficult crafting away from home. Thank you for those that signed up. Info on the class was in the last post. See you at Jade's at 1:30 pm❣️

Envelope maker favor box

Easy peasy, fits a two piece Hawaiian Host chocolates package perfectly!  I made 65 all by myself in no time at all.  Inspired by Michelle Last here.  Paper size:  6 7/8" x 6 7/8"; score at 4 1/2"
Belly band:  1/2" x 8 1/2"

Watercolor cards

Watercolored cards by me...

with the help of Art Impressions :o)

Heads up: Watercolor starter bundle is currently on sale. Check it out here

How about a gift of a handmade Perpetual Card Box?

Saturday, February 29, 2020

1:30 p.m.

@ Jade's Place in Kailua

Cost $25.00
Reserve your space by emailing me

The card box is roughly 6 1/2" x 5 1/4" in size and will contain 12 index tabs that you can label.

Please bring the following supplies to class:  Scissors, ruler, pen or pencil, paper trimmer, liquid adhesive, tape adhesive, Scor pal or other scoring device, bone folder or other scoring tool, black stamp pad, stamp cleaner

The box does not have a cover because it is meant to be noticed and used.  However if you are concerned dust may fall in, we will create a clear sleeve for your box.

"HOUSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM"

I have not yet received the paper that we are supposed to use in class so unfortunately, the paper will be different then the one above.  I'll post a picture as soon as I create one that we will be using in class.  I apologize but it's been a month already and tracking ... well, tracking was of no use because the date keeps extending!!  UGH!!  What is going on with shipping from the mainland to Hawaii?  Our holiday cards took a month and a half before we finally got it.  

Open Call for February Tea and *NEW* 3x3 Card Swap

Tea Swappers:  Mail your partner a hand-made card with two tea bags

*New* 3x3 card swap: Mail your partner 2 ea 3x3 size cards.  They can be same or different in design and should be intended for the partner to use and send these on any occasion.  If you are like me, you probably hand deliver 3x3 cards and use A2 cards mostly for mailing.  Envelopes not necessary inasmuch as they are easy to make on our own.

Hi everyone! Happy New Year! Wow, this post is long overdue, it's already February!! I'm popping in to let you know that the first class of 2020 is schedule for February 29th at Jade's place in Kailua. February's class is scheduled around organizing and a picture of the project will soon be posted. Time will be at 1:30 p.m. Will be back with more details on the project.

Don't forget, class is scheduled the last Saturday of every month except for October (Halloween). See scheduled posted on the left of the blog. Stay tuned for more details on the class project and hope to see you there!

By the way, how do you like the cards in the photo above?   The Hawaiian Quilt Stamp was one of those stamps I inherited from mom and have used more than 10 times this year!! It is the Kukui image and is a Mari & Me rubber stamp. Is Mari & Me still around?The sentiment is from Rubber Stamp Plantation.
