A suggestion was made by the class attendees a few classes ago that we should do kits so that everyone is making the exact same thing. We have tried this in the classes since that suggestion was made, and it appears that everyone really likes the concept. We will continue to do the kits for class whenever possible. Most of the ladies said they save the class projects as examples of the class so it doesn't matter if it is in the favorite color and using their favorite theme. We have noticed a time difference when we do this so the class have ended long before noon for those of you who have afternoon appointments. Please let me know your opinions on this change by e-mailing me at BPStamps@citlink.net.

| CLASS INFORMATION:
All classes are held in the shop. Most of the classes are $12 unless special circumstances arise. The cost should be reported in the class description area of this page if it is different than $12.00.
Evite, a free Internet invitation program, is used to send out reminders about 1 week in advance. Evite will automatically send a reminder 2 days prior to the class. I only ask that you respond to this system to say whether you will be coming or not.
I prefer that you bring nothing to class unless specifically requested to bring something.
Regarding the class seating, please sign up for full classes, too, since there are often cancellations. Many times even if there are no cancellations, another session will be opened to handle the overflow.

Gorgeous Multi-Layer Sticker Cards
|
One of the reasons why I got an account with Ecstasy Crafts is because of these gorgeous stickers. Carol and I really had trouble deciding between all the beautiful cards that were shown at CHA. I am sure that you will love these, too, so come and make two cards using some of our favorites. |

Glizy Foiled Stencils
|
We loved the way this technique used glitz and foil to brighten up our cards. This was a new technique presented by Dreamweaver Stancils at CHA. What a great way to use those brass stencils (or any kind of stencil will work) and get them out of storage! |

Introduction to Copic Markers
|
Kathie Hatfield is a Certified Copic Instructor. We are very lucky to have her nearby in Knoxville. She will be in our area to teach this class and the advanced class so you don't want to miss it. If you currently own Copics and don't know how to make them as beautiful as advertised or if you just wonder what all the hoop-lah is all about, this is the class for you. She always has some lovely projects, and welcoming in the summer will be no different. The samples will be coming soon.

Copic Fun with Handy Results

Kathie Hatfield wants to know if you find yourself purchasing Copic markers and then discovering that they are already in your collection. Would you love a way to keep all the information about your markers handy? Create your own Copic marker portfolio to carry in your purse. In this class we will construct a wallet that will keep all that information plus more at your fingertips.

Carol Schroeder will again bring out the different products and items that you have laying around your house. Maybe this could be called a Green Class. We’ll be using Gesso, Opals, Polished Pigments or PearlEx Mica Powders with cheesecloth, tissue paper, sales tags, etc. This will be another fun class! There are more samples in the shop so please come check them out. Those of you who had requested a class on using household products might like this class.

Textured Collage
|
Carol Schroeder will bring her many artistic talents to share with us. In this class she will again use texture in creating a collaged card using many found things. She will teach us the basics of collage while creating textured results. These will be small enough to use on cards. We’ll be using gesso, Perfect Paper Adhesive, Twinks, PearlEx Palette Paints, and possibly Mica Powders like PearlEx or Polished Pigments. This summer start collecting some nature – like feathers, butterfly wings, and dragonfly wings. We will need them in this class.
There are more samples in the shop so please come check them out. Again this might work for a Household Products class.

10th Annual Christmas Workshop
|
Our instructors for this year will be Lorraine Revalee, Cindy Mayer and Carol Heath. We have started to work on ideas for the projects. As soon as I have more information, I will share it with you. It will again be held here at the shop as it has in the past 2 years. We do know that the dates will be as stated here, so put this on your calendar so you don't schedule anything at this time. It will be held a little earlier than last year in hopes that more of you will be in town. In order to remain in the class, pre-payment must be made by August 15.
