Cards for Cancer fundraiser

Crafty Capers is having a Cards for Cancer fundraiser next weekend. Our classes are all sold out however we are still taking registration for class kits. Each class kit is $4.00 and all monies will be going to Ovarian Cancer Canada.
These card kits will be fairly simple you will need to provide your own adhesive, scissors and, in some cases, coloring materials and glitter but all the papers and embellishments will be cut and provided for you in your kit along with instructions. Deadline to register for these kits is tomorrow, Saturday Sept 28. Please contact the store if you are interested. There are 8 kits in total.
Saturday Oct 5 is coincidently, World Card Day it might be a fun to order some card kits, gather some friends have a mini party while making up your cards on that day!
Here is my "Saturday" Cards for Cancer card. Fairly simple, I used a new Wrapped in Joy Couture Creations embossing folder, a Stampendous clear sentiment, a Dee's tree die with Glitter Ritz plus some little Memory Box bird dies.
 Special thanks goes to Sharron L for helping me out with this card as well as cutting out all the birds for the kits.

Coffee and a Card - Back to school style

I have been put in charge of the Crafty Capers Coffee and a Card for tomorrow I have given Kathy a rare Monday off to spend time with her sister.
I thought I would give the very popular chalkboard technique a try for the card tomorrow since most students and teachers seem to be back at it by now.
We will be using Brillance Moonlight White ink, white Gelatos and a white pencil crayon plus some, always fabulous, Penny Black stamps.
Coffee and a Card runs 10:30 am - 1:00 pm at Crafty Capers on Monday. Cost is $2.00 and if you can't get enough classes on Monday there is a Summer Stampscapes class as well in the afternoon beginning at 2 pm. Cost for that class is $25.50.
Hope to see you Monday!

Resist Demo today!

Not a great photo however this is another resist demo sample. This baby is STUNNING in real life lots of blues and purples with contrasting with the Silver Dollar embossing powder and the card was easy and quick to make another bonus.
The stamp is by Stampendous and I used Distress markers to make the background on Tim Holtz's new watercolor cardstock. I am also quite impressed with the watercolor cardstock easy to stamp on even with a detailed stamp. I will be getting myself another package.
Hope to see you at the demo today: Saturday Sept 14 10:30 - 12:30 and, as usual, its free!

Hard to Resist!

The Crafty Capers free September demo is tomorrow 10:30 am - 12:30 pm. The topic for this month is "resist techniques". This resist technique was done with glossy cardstock, a Versamark ink pad and 4 colors of Ranger Adirondack dye inks plus a fabulous Hero Arts stamp.
Hope you can make it to the demo on Saturday!
