April's TNT Meeting

Tuesday's Tips & Techniques (TNT)
A Monthly Creative Book Club

April's meeting is scheduled for April 10, from 7 - 9pm at Ever After Scrapbook Store

Cost: $15

In April, we will continue reviewing "A-Z Techniques" by Pinecone Press. This book covers all types of cool techniques for paper crafters, so I filled the April class kits with products to encourage you to try something new.

For this month’s club display, I used the “template” technique described in our book. Since we have been using chipboard lately, I used the negative spaces from the Fancy Pants chipboard included in the class kit as a template.

We are an intimate, friendly club who welcomes all scrappers and crafters. Even if you've never been to one of our meetings, you'll leave feeling like you belong and knowing you've made some new friends.

Once Upon A Time Mini Book

Learn to create an adorable mini book using some of the latest Once Upon a Time glitter paper. This mini book has plenty of room for 8-10 photos as well as special spots for journaling and embellishments.

In addition to creating a lovely mini book, you'll have an opportunity to get some hands-on instruction using the Ellison Big Shot die cutter and the Crop-A-Dile.

Please bring your 12" paper trimmer, scissors, favorite adhesive (I recommend a glue stick), distressing ink and an eyelet setter (like Crop-A-Dile) if you have one.

In the Altered Journal class, you will learn how to transform an ordinary composition book into a wonderful personal journal, art journal, garden journal, prayer journal, you get the picture. Learn various decoupage techniques, distressing techniques, and how to make your own dimensional embellishments, such as altered chipboard lettering and flowers. As always in Linda’s classes, she gives you hands-on training using personal die cut systems and the oh-so-popular Crop-A-Dile. All experience levels are invited.

Greeting Cards - Quilling

Small scale projects are some of the benefits of being card crafters. It is so satisfying to learn a new technique, then be able to apply that new technique to quickly complete a project. If you are also a scrapbooker, you can also apply some of those new techniques to your scrapbook pages.

January's greeting card class will introduce you to the technique of quilling. You will learn how to quill, how to texture paper, and how to make the shapes used on these two adorable greeting cards, which are perfect for your Valentine or Sweetheart.

Please bring wet adhesive and a quilling tool with you to class.
