For those of you who live in the Philadelphia area, Paper Garden Projects is having a card making class fundraiser to raise money for Heifer International.

The proceeds of the class will be going towards Holy Trinity Lutheran Church’s efforts to fund an “Ark”. An Ark includes 2 each of 12 different animals which are sent to impoverished families around the world. The animals help provide the families with a sustainable source of food and income.

The cards all have an animal theme (of course!) and all supplies are included. The cost of the class is $15.

The class is on the evening of Friday, October 2nd. If you are interested in attending please leave a comment and we’ll make sure you get all the details.

Come join us for some stamping fun – and feed the hungry at the same time!

We’re have an evening stamping open house with the proceeds going to Lutheran World Relief Food Programs.

So come get those Holiday projects done, have a few snacks, and help people in need all at the same time. Now that is a way to multi-task.

Here are the specifics. If you are interested and need directions, just let me know!

When: Friday, November 21 from 6:30 to 10:00

Where: Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, Wallingford – Fellowship hall

What: This is an open house, so you are welcome to arrive any time during the event. We will provide you with a well lit table space and fun fellow crafters to hang out with. Maybe even some yummy snacks.

There will also be a tool table with various paper punches, paper cutters, heat guns and a Cuttlebug with embossing folders available for your use. Additional supplies are available for purchase.

Do you have some holiday projects you’d love to get a head start on? Card making, scrapbooking, gifts, even writing out your Christmas cards? Bring those Holiday projects you’ve been meaning to work on and get started!

Or… if you don’t want to bring your own supplies…

Ohhhh….. totally fun!

I just got these Watercolor Garden Stamps from Art Impressions in the Paper Garden Projects store. I started playing with them and had so much fun I decided to design my whole card class around that set!

Really – they are just so fun! Its a series of clear images that you create garden scenes with. You stamp with dye inks on watercolor paper and then use a water brush to blend and mute the colors. It just takes minutes to create these wonderful little watercolor scenes.

For these cards, I used Ranger Distress inks and the new Memento Dye inks.

So for this class we are making a set of thank you notes and packaging them up in a clear gift box. Cute huh?

We are also making a couple Mother’s Day cards. One is using the watercolor method, and the other is wet embossing. (I have some people who come to my classes who love embossing and are disappointed if they don’t do it in every class.)

The embossed card uses the beautiful Victorian Flower stamp from Impression Obsession. Its embossed in copper and the background paper is Bazzill Bling.

The classes are the evening of May 1 and 2. There are still some spaces left, so if you are in the Philadelphia area and would like to join a fun group of stampers – just let me know!
