New Class: Let’s Get Inky!

Come and get INKY with Lauren! In this technique-driven class we’ll blend Distress Oxide Inks on plain cardstock, through a stencil and atop white-embossing; then we’ll stamp, we’ll stencil, we’ll overstamp in Ranger Archivals, we’ll stencil a bit more, we’ll do a little bit of coloring (with Tombows), we’ll diecut and… well, we will generally celebrate all the stamping techniques that made us love this hobby, but we’ll revisit them in new ways for a fresh, eclectic look. This class features stamps, stencils, dies and gorgeous butterfly ephemera from Aall & Create as well as Ranger Inks.

Cost is $24 and payable by cash or check only. Dates available: Monday, April 8th: 11am-2pm; Saturday, April 13th: 12-3pm; Friday, May 3rd: 6-9pm. Email elisabeth@paperanthology to reserve your place. Students are requested to bring their basic class kit. We won’t be getting terribly messy, but you might not want to wear anything white or dry-clean only! ;)

February’s Holiday Jumpstart Kit (with Stamps!)

Say hello to Holiday Jumpstart: Christmas Sampler, which features (and INCLUDES!) Stamperia’s beautiful Christmas Borders Stamp Set, a nine-stamp photopolymer set that might be the most versatile ever and it’s easy to line up and position perfectly.

Paper Anthology’s Holiday Jumpstart Card Kit is our pre-packaged kit that includes everything you need (except inks and adhesives) to complete FIVE copies of this new original holiday card design. It’s called “Christmas Sampler” since the design is reminiscent of a needlework sampler… but in this case the results are mailable and achieved without any wrist strain! May Arts green gingham ribbon and a sentiment diecut from Concord & 9th’s Seasonal Sayings set add to the homespun-but-polished feel of this nostalgic design. This kit is available for $36 in-store and online; CLICK HERE to go directly to the product page. Locals, be sure to choose the “PICK UP IN STORE” option at checkout to save on shipping and we’ll keep it behind the counter until you’ve got time to pick it up.

Don’t we all adore the IDEA of making holiday cards throughout the year, instead being overloaded in November and December? But sometimes it’s hard to be inspired during the “off-season”. Paper Anthology’s Christmas Card Club is a wonderful solution, but it fills up quickly, and what if you can’t make it to the store one Friday night per month? Here’s an additional, self-paced option that works entirely on your schedule.

This pre-packaged kit features everything you need (except inks and adhesives) to complete five beautiful, detailed and colorful cards, including complete written instructions, suggested ink colors, and a nice big photo for reference.

This kit contains:

  • Stamperia’s Christmas Borders Clear Stamp Set
  • Five ivory panels to stamp on
  • Five olive green cardstock mats
  • Five pre-diecut red metallic “MERRY” sentiments
  • Enough May Arts gingham ribbon to wrap around five panels
  • Enough Taylored Expressions Tiny Diamond embellishments (in Cherry Pop and Lime Zest) to complete the design
  • Complete step-by-step instruction sheet with large color photo
  • Recommended ink colors for Ranger Archivals, Distress Inks, or generic shades
  • Five top-fold kraft A2 cards

Yeti or Not

Taylored Expressions’ Mythical Grumplings are not yet the official mascot of 2020, but maybe they should be? Somewhat improbable, distinctly irritable, and it’s hard not to be just a tiny bit worried about what they might be planning next. On the other hand LOOK. HOW. CUTE! This card by Lauren Bergold is stamped in Ranger Archival Ink, colored with Tombow Dual Brush Pens and shaded with Polychromos Pencils from Faber-Castell.

Rainbow bright!

Good morning!  I was up late, late late last night doing my favorite thing – playing in my craft room while the TV played quietly in the background.  Well, it was netflix, and not so quiet, but I digress…  What was on my craft table?  A very odd assortment – a rainbow, a jam jar and a vest – the beginnings of a plan for a class I like to call “a random bunch of cards”.  I played with the rainbow first, a quirky stamp set from Concord and 9th.  I ended up with a card that was perfect for this week’s challenge at  Shopping our stash, since it had a sprinkling of hearts on it.  Entirely stamped in an assortment of bright Ranger Archival inks, (carnation red, tiger lily,  yellow chrome, vivid chartreuse, manganese blue and violet)  all I could think of the whole time was Ranger’s new release for creativation – 12 new mini archival inks to match the Distress line of colors, and we won’t have to wait too long as they should be shipping in a couple weeks.  I can’t wait to get my hands on them!!!  Anyways, here’s the card, hope you like it!

 

 

Thanks for stopping by!  If you’ve got a sec, leave a comment – I love seeing who’s been here!

An Old-Fashioned Christmas

This week at Jingle Belles they’ve asked us to go vintage.  (Yay!!!)   I stamped the plaid flannel background stamp from Studio 490 with Peat Moss Archival Ink from Ranger.   I sticky embossed the beautiful retro-font sentiment from Stampers Anonymous Christmas time set (CMS352) and added loose red glitter. (the sparkle in real life is to die for!)   The Santa is from the Festive overlay set (CMS357), stamped with black archival and a little color added with Tombow markers.  The scalloped and stitched dies are from Taylored Expressions.  A super simple, quick card that lets that beautiful sentiment be the star of the show!
