Kaiser Craft "Sweet Nothings" Album in a Box

Hi, everyone!

I just wanted to quickly post and let you know that I will be teaching three classes at Scrapbooks Plus in Chantilly, VA this month!

The first class will be on Saturday, April 28th from noon to 2:00 p.m. In this class, you'll learn to create a hardbound gift holder from scratch. Designed to hold tea bags, this little book could hold anything from gift cards to chocolate squares. It makes a perfect Mother's Day or Teacher Appreciation gift. Using the My Mind's Eye "Follow Your Heart" papers, this book tells the recipient how grateful you are to have them in your life.

Here is a picture of the class project:




Class supplies: Centering Ruler, Quick drying liquid glue (Scotch Quickdry), strong double-sided adhesive (Scor-tape or Red tape), Bone Folder, Paper Trimmer, Craft Knife, Scissors, Corner Rounder, Martha Stewart Score Board (if you don't have one, one will be available to share).


The second and third classes are both for the Kaiser Craft "Sweet Nothings" album-in-a-box. There were many requests to do this class again, so here it is ~ back by popular demand! In this class, you'll learn to create a unique box from scratch. This seemingly simple box transforms when the lid is removed into a gorgeous paper bag album. The class will be offered on Sunday, April 29th from noon to 6:00 p.m. and Monday, April 30th from noon to 6:00 p.m.

The class is now offered in two versions: Kaiser Craft "Sweet Nothings" and "Choose Your Own Paper." In the original class, the Kaiser Craft "Sweet Nothings" paper collection frames your precious photos with dreamy vintage images, and is perfect for a Mother's Day gift. In the Choose Your Own Paper version, you'll pick up a supply list from the store and pick your own papers for the class.

Holding 24 4"x6" photos easily, this box is made entirely from paper and chipboard. During the class, we will build and cover the box, as well as create the album binding system and decorate the pages. No beginners, please.

Here is a picture of the class project:




Class supplies: Centering Ruler, Quick drying liquid glue (Scotch Quickdry), strong double-sided adhesive (Scor-tape or Red tape), dimensional adhesive (pop dots, foam tape), tape runner (ATG, Tombow), Bone Folder, Paper Trimmer, Craft Knife, Scissors, Corner Rounder, Purple Corner Chomper (if you don't have one, one will be available to share), Martha Stewart Score Board (if you don't have one, one will be available to share), Martha Stewart Photo Corner Punch (if you don't have one, one will be available to share).

If you're interested in signing up for any of these classes, please contact Scrapbooks Plus at (703) 263-9503.

Also today is Thursday, so please join me during my regularly scheduled USTREAM shows at 2:00 PM Eastern USA time and 9:00 PM Eastern USA time. This week we'll be continuing on with the front door album. I hope you'll be able to join us!

See ya!
