Who loves the theatrical drama that you get when you watch the opera or get goosebumps looking at the mysterious eyes behind a Mask?....
Be dazzled this month using lots of mixed medium textures, embellishments of lace, bling, flowers, pearls and feathers. There is an option to do the project in a different colour of your choice.

Christmas comes around so quickly each year, so I have made a head start & created 4 vintage style cards using this gorgeous patterned paper from Craft  & You called Christmas Story. There will be a simple construction card & each card has layers of patterned paper & features lace, organza ribbon, flowers, die cut shapes, pretty glitter baubles, SA pearls & lots of glimmer paste.  Please join me on Friday 6^th July at 9.30-12.30 o’clock.

Want to get lots of photos on a layout?  Want an interesting layout that has interactive elements that can be lifted, pulled or opened to reveal hidden areas? In this month’s class, we will create a double layout with space for 19 photos.  It has plenty of “openable” areas to showcase all your favourite photos.  This month I have used papers from the Hello Beautiful range from Piatek Trzynastego. Take away kits with full emailed instructions are available.

This is a 2.5-hour class creating a distressed vase of brightly coloured succulents using the gorgeous Celebr8 papers & adding fabric flowers & bling for extra sparkle. It involves fussy cutting, crackle pasting & gel medium. The finished picture is mounted on 12 x 12 chipboard. NOTE: a frame can be purchased for extra cost.

Join Robyn to create a pretty stamped and stencilled art journal page featuring a butterfly garden and crackle embellishment. You may have noticed the new Paper Artsy products in store and this class will introduce you to some of them, particularly the Infusions powders.
If you already art journal – bring along your usual kit, if not check the requirements list for a guide on what to bring. You will need an approx. A4 sized journal to begin with – please check in store for details. We would love to know where you are at with mixed media so let Deb know when you book in – absolute beginners are very welcome but the more experienced will find something to challenge them in each class.

We will be working with acrylic paint on a 40 cm x 50 cm canvas using wet blending techniques for background, using crackle medium and metallic washes and adding  texture  and stencil layers of course! Easy workshop for those who want to explore and learn painting techniques while learning how to use mixed media mediums in your artwork.

“Join me to make two gorgeous cards using Prima’s HAVANA range of subtle pinks and mink greens and a pop of rose gold.  You will create a gorgeous frame box that can be used for many occasions along with a 5x7” card.  Both with hints of foil.  If you can’t make it on the day kits with full instructions will be available”

In this project we will make a card, featuring a sailboat, with detailed embossing and cutting to highlight the sails.  We will focus on the skills of perforating through a pattern and cutting to a cross shape. It is essential to have a four needle tool such as PCA Fine Quad – F1005 and PCA snips to complete this design. Both are available at Bella Paperie. Acknowledgement:  Original card designer is Tatsue Shibata. I have modified the grid pattern to use a four needle tool instead.

Join Robyn to create this pretty girl in your art journal. You will begin with some Gel Press fun to create a monochromatic textured page and then draw and paint a face on top. You will be guided step by step to create the face so no experience is necessary. Robyn will also be introducing you to the new Paper Artsy Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylics and showing you how gorgeous they are in an art journal.
