Saturday is Fun Day!

I’ve got lots! and lots! of photos for you. I’m going to post Sharon’s Saturday video first then on Tuesday I’m going to follow up with more product photos Sharon shared with me today. As I’m watching the Bills game right now, I want to share two cards Sharon made for Damar Hamlin. I also want to remind everyone of all the great Buffalo and Bills product we have. 

If you’d like to send a card to Damar and his family here are several contact points for you. Make note of Friday’s date. 

On to Saturday's video. Classses, we have classes! First is Sharon’s Graphic 45 for January. Jess has posted the dates for all our classes and descriptions are up on the website. 

We’re going to run the Tiered Tray class again. However, we’re replacing the Christmas theme card with something a bit more spring-like.

Lori created this paper bag album class last year and we’re running it again. This is a fun, easy way to create a small album. HINT: great for your photos and remembrances of the blizzard.

Sharon is re-running her Glimmer machine how to. Great class especially if you got a glimmer machine for the holidays or a GC to buy one! Check the description for what you need to bring for this class. 

This is a preview of a Pretty Punk Posh class Kim is doing. We’re waiting on our order to come in so Kim can finish her samples. This is a combo winter with a touch of Valentine’s thrown in. 

Sharon wants to start a Christmas in every month class and we’re starting in February with this  Whipper Snapper class from December. 

Penny Black is back with more than one class, and this is one of them. 

Pink Fresh 4 Ways. Foiling, Copic coloring, stenciling and white pencil on kraft. 

Snowball Fight is a great card for kids and a challenge for those who want to create a platform card using several of it’s add-ons along with inking and flying snowballs!

 Then we have new product. This is a favorite of Sharon's from Waffle Flower. She loves the font and the sentiments.

Echo Park has new birthday papers. Sharon has the full pack for boy and the girl package along with several of the pages as singles. There is also ephemera packs and 6X6 pads for both.

Altenew has new inks, new stamps and new apparel(?) Here are a few pics. New ombre selection of inks in mini cubes.

A new blooming envelope and a blooming typewriter! Then negative sentiment stamps give color to the background but not the words.

They also have a smaller instant photo frame die.

For apparel, they have this crafty apron. It has pockets in the front and what looks like gorgeous colors. We have one the store.

Sizzix is next with these delicate floral stems, leaves and tiny blooms. We have dies and also stamps and sentiments in various fonts.

Sizzix 3-D embossing folder.

A new Folio

An appropriate stencil…

New from Sizzix and Tim Holtz,  embossing folders, My husband was listening as Sharon got to these and when he heard her describe some of these 'from Tim',' he knew exactly who she was talking about. There's Cher, there's Liza, and there's Tim - one word says it all.

Stitched Bunnies

If you're on a diet, the perfect chocolates!

Another large layered bloom.

A few retro designs, coffee cups, birthday, a sweet ride and 'The Gentlemen'.

Two new alphabets. One large and another with some dimensional detail.

We have a few of Christmas's most popular dies - Harvey (I need one!)

One of Sharon's favorites, we'll see samples soon.

Next is an all style tag punch. On two sides you punch either a small circle or an elliptical hole. On the other two sides you can angle off your corners or round them. Very easy to punch, an alternative to having to find the right size tag die cut.

Hero Arts has a ‘surprise box’ in the store. We cannot offer these on-line. Please come in or call the store with your selections. First is this lovely Lily of the Valley die.

A lovely floral stamp

Rub-on Transfers

One of their popular window layered die sets.

A cool background stamps, Burlap

A good variety sentiment stamp set

Stencils and coordinating die

Hot foil plate - honeycomb

A bright, spring daffodil - you can tell Sharon did not make these cards, nothing is popped!

A lovely layered stamp set of wisteria 

On the back you can see the four stamps you use to create your final image.

Here is their sample. You could use the Altenew inks to create the dark and light colors used.

This is the back of a stencil.  If you look closely you can see how they  come together for the final image.

Sharon originally shared this on Saturday and since the Bills just won as I’ve been cutting and pasting this post together I thought I’d share again. My husband just brought his Browns flag in and I’ll be retiring my Edelman jersey til next season and rooting for the Billsto go all the way! GO BILLS!

When my daughter and her friend were here for New Years we went to Bar Bill for the wings on a recommendation from Josh Allen. As always my daughter has to take a picture of our food before anyone can eat! It was very good!

I’ll be back on Tuesday with more photos. Here are a few hints ❄️❤️ 🍀 and Tim. Have a crafty good week everyone, check out our class schedule and above all Stay Safe.
