Class Journal: Nancy Y:

Wednesday, Jan 15: 1:30-4:00 PM….$27.50 and.....

Saturday, February 1: 10:30 AM-1:30 PM

$27.50

If you missed the first class, be sure and catch it this go round. You will use the Zutter Bind-It-All for a sturdy wire binding and washi paper for the cover.  There will be both black and white interior pages. Obviously, you can use your journal as you wish.

Nancy designed it to be a journal for taking class notes and says "I don’t know about you, but I like taking notes in class to aid my memory when I want to repeat a technique. Unfortunately, I have never been really systematic about this and I’ve written notes on whatever was at hand and they’ve never been collected into one folder or book." 

This journal is planned so that you can put your sample made in class on a black page and write your notes on the white. There will also be a couple of pocket pages for hand-outs.

Star book of Blessings: Nancy Yoshimoto

Wednesday, Oct 2: 1PM-4PM:

$45.00

Nancy loves making books, especially sewn star books. Another great love of hers is Irish Blessings. She has quite a collection of Irish blessing stamps and what a great way to enjoy them. We're sure you’ll agree. This class will meet on at least 3 Wednesday Afternoons.


Advanced Techniques with Stencils: Liz Forbes:
Saturday, Oct 5: 10 AM- 1 PM
$25.00

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.

Class at CP2: Shaker Card w/ Nancy Yoshimoto

Impression Obsession has taken a paper engineering challenge, normally only used to create cards for those persons who are absolutely near and dear to us, and turn it into a simple and streamlined process. Now we can make shaker cards for everyone on our Christmas card list! Nancy loves to create a scene and she'll do just that in this class. Not just any scene, but a snow scene! This may be the first snow we see in Albuquerque this year, so don't miss out. Join Nancy Saturday morning for this fun workshop and she'll share the genius of these shaker card materials with you.

I don't have a photo of this project, but you can be certain it will be fabulous!

Class: Presentation Box with Nancy Yoshimoto

Our lovely CP2 shop proprietress has a special class in store for you!

Nancy loves making boxes and books and this one is no exception! She has been creating this wonderful presentation box for a about a dozen years and wants to share the details with you. She'll show you how to create this wonderful box from scratch using chip board, gorgeous papers, and lots of PVA. The result is a box that you can lay flat for easy storage and assemble quickly for convenient gift giving at the ready. It is the perfect size for holding many different items, but would be perfect for presenting someone special with a dozen handmade cards.
