February Stack a Stash, with Maresa

On the last Sunday of the month, we teach a card class called Stack A Stash, and it is hosted by a different instructor each month. It is such a great way to start your stash of cards, ready to have on hand when an occasion arises.

In the Stack A Stash classes, you make two all occasion cards and two Christmas cards.


This month you will be creating two Christmas cards, and two cards that can be adapted for pretty much any occasion.  [There will be a variety of sentiment stamps available for your choice.] This class will teach you how to do a simple and quick chalkboard technique.

Valentines for Friends & Family, with Maresa


Remember in Elementary school, how much fun it was on Valentine's Day to open up your "mailbox" and look through all the cards that your friends left for you?  As adults we tend to only focus on our significant others on Feburary 14th, and as such it is often hard to find less "smoochy-lovey-feel-y" cards to give to friends and family.  This class features four cards that are more friendship oriented, leaving you the option to add a more personal message on the inside. 

This class showcases using products in multiple ways, to achieve different looks, thus getting more bang for your buck.  There will also be more great tips & tricks - such as creating that perfect shade of cardstock, and creating custom embellishments.
