SHEart – Make your own canvas!

You can now buy Christy’s SHE art papers and rub ons through Pink Paisley. I just love the colours and I love Christy’s style.

Would anyone like to join us for a 2 hour workshop on Friday afternoon (20th April). Costs $35 which includes the full kit, use of tools and adhesives and 2 hours of tuition. At the end of the class you will have completed a canvas – and its a perfect gift for your mum on Mother’s day which is less than a month away!

Bring a heat gun with you if you have one.

You can book for the class in store, via e-mail or give me a call. Full payment is required when booking to secure your place.

Wishing everyone a great Sunday tomorrow.

New in Store – Washi Tape

Leave a reply

Today our shipment of washi tape arrived.
What is washi tape?

Quite simply its a high quality printed masking tape made from Japanese Rice paper (Washi), The adhesive is a low tack which makes it extremely easy to use and re-use!
You can:
* Tear It
* Stick it
* Reposition it
* write on it + more!

Have a look over at Pinterest for some great ideas! Click here.

UNIQUE IDEA: When Jodie popped in to the shop today she bought a couple of rolls to use as band aids! Her 2 year old often has boo boos without any blood….so a bit of pretty masking tape does the trick and a lot cheaper than a pack of barbie bandaids!

Hope you have a great evening!

that many mixed media art techniques can also be used in scrapbooking, card making and paper crafting, as well as art journaling?

Want to know more? If you do, then come and join us for a 10-week art workshop where we will get creative and get messy. Itâ€™s all in good fun!

You will need to leave the inner perfectionist at home and be ready to
unleash some creativity. Despite what you may think – we are all creative and inside each one of us is an artist! For some of us, it is just about giving ourselves permission to play!

Each week you will Learn how to use all of those products you may have seen in the shop, or that you may have bought before, but never really knew what to do with. You may be surprised to find out how many products actually have more than one use!

You will learn some new techniques and also brush up on some old, but good techniques that donâ€™t date. Each week will be relaxed, fun-filled and technique-based. All classes will be hands-on and you will get to play and practise. It is the best way to learn!

You will finish the ten-week workshop by putting all of your-new found knowledge together and creating your very own art piece.

Class sizes will be limited, to maximise learning. If this interests you, please contact the store to sign up as spaces will fill fast.
Classes start 26th April at 6.30pm.

Inspiration for Card Makers….

Leave a reply

Where has March gone? Can’t believe we are already in the last 1/3 of the month. It will be Easter before long. (and we have a couple of great easter card classes planned too – details available later this week).

For today I would like to share with you cards made with the new Kaiser April releases. I know, its not April yet but kaiser made them available earlier as there are a few Easter themed papers in the collection.

Firstly introducing Charlotte’s Dream.

This collection is a whimsical dream of soft pastels and florals. Light turquoise, coral and brown make up the colour palette which go perfectly with any femine or friendship themed project you have in mind!

Fine and Sunny on the other hand is fun and bright. It’s perfect for scrapping your Easter photos. Its extremely versatile and can definitely be used for any children’s project that is sure to turn out ever-so-cute with this collection!

Which is your favourite collection?

A week in Review….

Leave a reply

Good Morning Everyone!

What a week it has been…we are in the final week of Feb already. Time seems to just fly past and only 2 weeks to go till my husband is home again!

On Thursday Jenny took our mobile classroom on the road to teach 12 wonderful senior citizens how to make easel cards. They loved it! In the afternoon Jenny was very brave to teach a classroom full of giggling girls how to heat emboss. (average age of the girls is 7). No one burnt themselves and everyone had a beautiful layout to take home. We also got to help Macy celebrate her 7th Birthday.

Yesterday Mr Courier came to visit and dropped off the March kaiser release. There are lots of new designs in the wooden flourishes, new wood projects, wall art and 3 new collections. Technological, Tigerlilly and a new range of Australian papers.
The new scrap kits are in store now too. This is the Technological one. The kit includes EVERYTHING to make these 4 pages – that works out to only $8.75 per page! And you even have plenty of left overs too 🙂 To buy this kit click here.

Or how about a bright and funky girly layouts – Tigerlily?

This kit includes the papers, cardstock, collectables, sticker sheets, pearl flourish, rub ons, mini roses and full colour instructions & costs $29.99. Click here to buy.

The new papers and embellishments will be available in store on the 1st March.

We still have tickes available for our Prima night and only a couple left for the PJ Party.

Wishing everyone a fantastic week ahead and enjoy the rest of yor Sunday.
