Dry embossing, also called relief embossing, is done by tracing a stencil with a special tool, called a stylus. The result is a stunning, raised pattern on the object you are embossing.

Learn how dry embossing with brass embossing stencils from Lasting Impressions. Dry embossing can help you add style and dimension to your cards and scrapbook pages. With some basic instruction, a light table, a stylus tool and some brass templates, you will complete these four wonderful cards in class. To truly see what effect dry embossing does for your projects, you a can see, touch and feel these cards at the shop.

In Class, you will be making all 4 of these cards. Jen will have all the papers pre-cut, so you only need to bring a some basic supplies and your own adhesive. If you have your own light table and stylus tool, please bring them to class. Some tools will be available.

Connie’s Summer Layout Class

Tuesday, September 4, 2007

7:00 – 9:00 p.m.

Class Fee: $20

I am in denial . . . summer is coming to a close. But before we wrap things up and start all the talk of fall, I wanted to scrap a few of my favorite summer photos. And that is just what we will be doing in this class! The two-page, 12x12 layout is crisp, clean and full of fun. The color scheme is blue and orange with a splash of sunny yellow. The layout is versatile enough to accommodate photos from the pool, lake, ocean, sprinkler, or bubbling fountain. Anywhere you found a cool dose of water to wash away the summer’s heat. So peruse your summer photo collection and let’s get scrapping! Techniques we will be discussing in class are the creation of waves using scallop paper, creating flow across a two-page spread, and using any computer font for your title work. Please see the recommended supply list to come prepared for class.

I hope to see you soon! -- Connie

Book of the Month Club

Book of the Month Club is designed to help educate you to new ideas, techniques and styles through the use of our technique books, specially designed kits and supporting documents. The best part of the Book Club is meeting new friends who share the same enjoyment you have in crafting.

The way it works is simple. Like traditional Bookclubs, our club will have a new Pinecone Press book each month and two kits to take home. After working with your book and kits at home, we meet together the following month to discuss your views and opinions of the book and kits. The difference with the Pinecone Press Bookclub is that along with the technique books and kits, you will receive a study document that is created to go with the selected book each month.

When we meet each month, we gather together to discuss the book and bring the projects that you have created with your kits. These monthly meetings are a time when members share and learn from each other. Month after month you as the group continues to meet and grows, you will become more comfortable and confident with your crafting abilities.

Our Next meeting is scheduled for Monday, August 27th at 7pm to 9pm. The Cost is $40, which covers your idea book, two kits, book information and demos, monthly membership fees, and a great groups of gals. We still have some July Paper Bag kits and books available for purchase.

Not sure if this club is for you, come on out and see what we are all about. If you want to join, then all you need is pay that night. If you are interested, please call 630-271-0610 and let us know you will be joining us that night. Or, stop by the store and view previous books and kits to see if this club is for you.

See you Monday, August 27th,
Alice
