Tool Time Class

As many of you know, I am somewhat of a tool fanatic. I truly LOVE my tools, most of them being Fiskars brand.
'Tool Time' is a class for you to learn about a variety of tools and get a chance for some hands-on play time. The cost is $10, I am keeping the cost as low as possible.

Part 1 Nov 12th: I will demonstrate tools, let you play with them and learn what you can do with them. This can be especially helpful in deciding which tools you want to buy. Think of is as a 'test drive' of sorts, but with crafting tools. Bring paper to make lists of the tools you will want to use for part 2.

Bring your papers and be prepared to really put the tools to use. This gives you a chance to cut out shapes, make pretty paper lace with border punches, emboss with the Cuttlebug and more.

Ok - so......what tools can you expect to see at this class? Fiskars border punches (including circle border punches), a number of squeeze punches, the cuttlebug with embossing folders, Cricut (there will be limits with this one), Fiskars craft drill, corner punches, misc. shape punches, the bind-it-all and whatever else I may come up with.

Exploding Box Class

Join me at the Saginaw Community Center on Park Center Blvd for the Exploding Box class on October 22nd. Check out the pictures here on the blog to see what your box will look like. You can duplicate this project later with various papers.

This is such a cool way to display pictures and hold tidbits. Imagine all of the possibilities: school friends pictures, birthday party or other events memories, you can create a box for just about any 'theme'. You will definately be making more of these boxes once you learn how.

I have a limited number of kits for this project, so please let me know if you are interested. You will need to bring a strong adhesive (I prefer Zip Dry liquid glue) and a few glue dots. Please bring your trimmer and a scoring blade or bone folder. There is a lot of scoring on this project. You may want to bring ink for your edges and a corner rounder. I will have a couple of corner rounders to share so don't go out and buy one just for this project.

The cost is $20 for the class beginning at 7:00 and ending at 9:00.

Hope to see you there!
