Fall Technique Class Thursday, October 2nd 6:30 p.m.

Fall Technique Class Thursday, October 2nd 6:30 p.m. For our Fall Technique Class, I've found several fun ideas for you all. I hope you will want to attend! Since I'm so late in posting and emailing, the class will be $10 (rather than increasing to $12 within the last week) up until the due date of September 29th, but decide quickly and RSVP as quickly as you can please.

We will make this Punched Owl Candy Bar Holder and three cards. This year's installment of the Hershey Bar holder uses the Eastern Blooms Stamp set as well as the spider from the Eat Drink and Be Scary set (optional). I found it because it was an adorable entry on the So Shelli blog challenge. It was a card created by Laura Brown--here is a link to her blog: http://www.stamphappywithlaura.com/Stamp_Happy/Home/Entries/2008/9/17_Entry_1.html This card was mostly my creation, but I did CASE the candlelight effect from arcopes/Alison (not sure if she was the first to do it). I think the easy masking makes a nice glow. The black layer lifts up (it is tucked under the Curvy Label punch) and a pink layer is inside for stamping a Congratulations or Happy Birthday Sentiment if you'd like.

This card was for the Sketch Challenge on SCS (see the regular blog post for more information). We'll be making faux water (and gloss for the stars) with crystal effects, creating the hemp twine broom and glittering the ruby slippers.
This last card is also embossed and includes the Polished Stone Technique. For this card, I CASE'd the technique but changed the colors and layout from a lovely swap card I received from SU! demonstrator Tonya Smalley.
