November 10 2018 classes at Stamping Buddies Craft Room

1:00 - Introduction to Mosaic Moments - Count and Cut Technique
I've decided to open up an introductory Mosaic Moments technique class for the November 10, 2018 date. The 2:00 class will be solely focused on the dies - with only a very brief review of the count-and-cut basic technique. So this 1:00 p.m. class will be for true beginners who are not familiar with the technique for those who are a little rusty and want a refresher course. We will make a couple of quick samples just to familiarize you with the technique. For this class you will need the following:
I will supply the grid paper base, the instruction and some small freebies for you (quick glance cutting guide and a lil chizler tool). We’ll have some giveaways for people in this 1:00 class and the 2:00 class. I’ll have some sample photos available for you to “play” with (although you’re welcome to bring your own)!
YOU must bring these items to the 1:00 introductory class:
-Mosaic Moments Cutting Mat – available for purchase from Stamping Buddies (513-891-CRFT) or through the snapncrop link to the right here on this blog.  Please shop with Stamping Buddies first and if her supply runs out, use the website link. If you purchase from Pam or from my blog in conjunction with this event, let me know and you’ll receive two free pieces of grid paper from me.
- Herma Dotto Repositionable Adhesive (yes, THIS adhesive – the cutting mats were DESIGNED to work with this adhesive).
- Craft Knife – you want the “full size” craft knife, not one with a tiny blade.
- Cork-backed Metal ruler. I prefer the 15” for when I’m working on 12” paper, but the 12” will work. I will have a limited quantity of these available for sale that day.
The cost of this class is $10.


 




For the 2:00 p.m. class - please read the description for each class.  YOU MUST bring your own photos so your finished project won't look exactly like mine.  This is a pattern class that offers you the opportunity to "try it before you buy it" with some of the new dies.  

2:00 Option 1 - Pie Die Bundle and pattern (Candy Corn sample)
This page pattern will be ONE of the class layouts. There will be several options and you can choose to do as many or as few as you would like. Each layout will be $10.
This candy corn class sample is from the pie Bundle die set. ($63)
You will pay $10 and I will provide:
1) the base grid paper (your choice from the colors I have on hand);
2) one sheet of 12x12 solid cardstock or two sheets of 8.5x11 cardstock from the stock available in the store) for the background (like the black on this sample);
and
3) the use of my dies - the two used to make this layout will be at this station for this $10 fee.
If you wish to do this as candy corn, as pictured, let me know so I will have the candy corn pics and candy corn colored pie pieces.
You MUST bring your own photos because you will need the dies to cut your photos so this won’t be a typical class where you add the pics later.
Your subject matter may be candy corn or any other topic of your choice. Pay attention to the arrangement of the photos as you plan your own layouts and select the photos. My candy corn layout was done solely with 4x6. I used 3 of the closeup candy corn pics and 7 other photos.



 


2:00 option 2 - DIAMOND MINE (sunflower sample) Dies and Patterns
This page pattern will be ONE of the class layouts. There will be several options and you can choose to do as many or as few as you would like. Each layout will be $10.
This sunflower 🌻 class sample below is from the diamond mine die set.
You will pay $10 and I will provide:
1) the base grid paper (your choice from the colors I have on hand);
2) one sheet of 12x12 solid cardstock or two sheets of 8.5x11 cardstock from the stock available in the store) for the background (like the golden yellow on this sample);
and
3) the use of my dies - the three used to make this layout will be at this station for this $10 fee.
You MUST bring your own photos because you will need the dies to cut your photos so this won’t be a typical class where you add the pics later.
Your subject matter may be sunflowers or any other topic of your choice. Pay attention to the arrangement of the photos as you plan your own layouts and select the photos. My sunflower layout was done solely with 4x6 but I might recommend a 5x7 for the largest opening in the center.

   

I hope to offer a total of four layout options in the 2:00 class so stay tuned for further samples.  Each station / option will be a separate $10 fee so you can choose to do as many or as few as you like.

Please plan to bring your big shot with the appropriate platforms, etc for thin metal dies.  I only have two big shots available for the whole class so bringing your own will really speed things up.
