Slider Album Make-up Class
I know that many of you wanted to attend this class (in Feb) but were unable to make it. I am offering a make-up class for those of you that couldn't come the first time around. I am also offering a 2nd round, for those that did come and maybe want to make another. I know they all turned out so gorgeous! (click here for pics) If you have a friend you would like to invite, please let them know! Here are the details for both options:
2nd round: (you are second round if you own the instructions)
Come and bring your own cardstock, designer paper, and sticky strip. I'll provide the embellishments etc like last time. Cost: $7. You can use whatever designer paper you want, but you have to use Stampin' Ups 80lb cardstock, so if you don't have that (or want a different colour), then add 5.50 to the cost for a pack of paper. If you want I will pre-cut it for you again, OR I can talk you through it and you can try to cut it yourself!
First time attendee: Same deal as the class in Feb.
We will be making a Double-Slider Album, and it holds about 19 to 21 pictures. (I purchased these instructions from another SU demonstrator that invented it. I did not come up with this on my own, but it's ingenious!) Take a look at the pics, it's really cool! (it flips over and hold more on the back side too) The neat thing about it too, is it can be made and then decorated/pictures placed in at a later time, it doesn't have to be totally completed all at the same time.
Instead of just charging a cost for the class, as I normally do, this one will be a little different! It might be a little more money than you are used to a class being, BUT you will come away with lots of stuff that is yours to keep! Here is the breakdown of the things you will purchase (and use to build your album...obviously there will be lots of leftovers, we aren't using an entire pack of paper etc.):
Your choice of: 1 pack of SU cardstock (24 sheets) = 5.50
Your choice of : 1 pack of SU Designer Series Paper (12 double sided sheets) = 9.95
1 roll of Sticky Strip = 6.95
& 7.60 to cover the additional paper, buttons, embellishments & ribbon needed for each project. I will make sure that I have all the coordinating colors to match your paper selections.
You will also get printed instructions on how to recreate the album on your own at home.
TOTAL COST = $30
Again, although that sounds pricey, keep in mind of all the things you will have leftover to play with at home! Also bear in mind that I am not charging shipping or tax for these orders. So it's a really good deal!
If you have a Catalog, check out the paper choices, or click here http://www.stampinup.com/us/enu/16192.asp and download the catalog (2009/10 Idea Book & Catalog). Cardstock colors start on page 157-159. Designer Paper starts on page 162 - 165.
So you can make your paper selections based on your idea for a theme for the album. Having pictures with you at class is not necessary, but it's ok to bring them if you have them ready!
RSVP for both options:
First time: I will need an rsvp by about April 6th, to give me time to get the order in and delivered in time for the class! I will be opening your cardstock package ahead of the class and pre-cutting a few things for you to save on time.
2nd round: Give me an idea of a yes by April 6th, with your colours just to make sure I don't have to order something embellishment wise for you. If you need cardstock, then definitely by April 6th.
WHAT TO BRING:
Regular tape runner adhesive - required
BRING IF YOU HAVE: - will save you time on sharing
Paper Cutter
Scissors
Cropadile
NOTE: If any of you would ever like to host a class in your home with your friends, I am willing to do that! Depending on the project you want to make, will dictate space, but we can discuss that!
