Stencil Techniques II: Liz Forbes:

Saturday, Nov 2: 10AM-1:30PM

$25.00

Talk about a class of opposites! Your first card is totally steampunk – very gear-full, colorful, and fun-filled. The second card is a beautiful dove, very understated in silver, gold, and white. Oh, the dove is done on worked metal. You will treasure these cards.

Stampers ALERT:  A message from Nancy!  

Thursday, October 31...otherwise known as Halloween...join us for a POT LUCK and good company!  CP2 invites you to a pot luck luncheon at noon... well, starting at noon continuing on in the afternoon.  You'll find us at 4210 4th, NW and there will be a little bag of surprises for the attendees to play with!

Saturday, Nov 2, Liz Forbes will be teaching a stencil class---great techniques using a steampunk clock for the first card and a winter dove on metal for the second.

Unfortunately, Cynthia and Mark of Stamp A Mania have had to postpose their trunk show and classes and will NOT be here on Nov 9.  The November-December calendar is being rewritten and will be up soon.

The new Dia de los Muertos stamps that flew out the door have been replenished.  In talking to Linda Malcolm of Lost Coast Designs, she let me know that she's hard at work on a new CP2 class when she comes for the convention next spring...think challenge...think creativity!

Have you seen the Graphic 45 "Twelve Days of Christmas" paper?  I love the Christmas roses and the  bright plaid.

Visit soon!

Advanced Techniques with Stencils: Liz Forbes:

You’ll make two very special cards. Your first card features a dark and stormy night with crows planning mischief. It entails using a stencil with embossing paste and stamping. It also has an unusual closure. This could be sent for fall, Halloween, or just because it is a cool card. (Liz wrote the message poem!)

The second card teaches stamping and embossing on ribbon. It’s a wonderful holly background with the Merry Christmas ribbon across the front.

Class: Duck Tape Bound Book with Nancy Yoshimoto

Join Nancy Friday morning and create this fun project that you will probably be able to complete before lunch.  You can leave or you can stay and stamp. This book has space between the pages so you can use it for your deeply layered images. Nancy has a number of the Jumbo Flower stamps from Stampendous! that just beg to be layered. This would be a perfect display book for those thicker cards with extra embellishments.  Visit the shop to see a sample of this book up close and be sure to sign up.
