Mother/Daughter Class

Classes and Events/ Paper Crafting Tool Tips

I had such a fun time today teaching a class to several mothers and daughters. I had donated one of my supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Stamp Maven private classes to the Wylie Prepatory School Auction and today was the day we had set it up.

I had three projects for everyone to do. We made a cute little bookmark, using the Big Shot Die Cut Machine, a fun and fast birthday card using elements from the free Ice Cream Parlor Accent Pack (one of the free Sale-A-Bration choices) and an Easter Bunny card made using many of our punches. Here's a look…

I'm scheduling quite a few private classes right now. We usually do a few handmade cards or other projects that are timely. (Right now, I'm doing a lot of Easter projects…). I bring along the stamp sets, rubber stamping supplies, and sometimes even my Big Shot Die Cut Machine. It all depends on the projects.

If you might like to have one or two private classes for you and a group of your friends, please contact me and we'll discuss what you have in mind and set up a date for you!
