April 21st Copic Cherry Blossoms Class with Laura Griffin in Irving

Registration is now open for the April 21st Copic Club class (to be held from 9:30-11:30 a.m. at the Jaycee Arts Center, 1975 Puritan in Irving, TX). Sponsored by the Irving Art Association.

I absolutely love this time of year when the trees begin to burst into flowers and the world turns green again.  To celebrate the arrival of Spring, we’ll be coloring these these Blossoming Cherries in our next class and will create the below card:

The finished project will have a gorgeous dimensional look.

You’ll learn:
  • My favorite method for coloring cherry blossoms
  • My secret for creating beautiful, multi-dimensional cards
  • A fun background technique you can use on any Copic project
  • And more!

Ready to sign up and join in the fun?  Email laura@laura-griffin.com.  Available spots are on a first come, first serve basis and I anticipate this class will fill fast.

*Huge* craft garage sale Saturday, June 13th plus Copic Classes

craftgaragesale

Do you have a love for all things crafty?  And are you a fan of great deals?  If so – you won’t want to miss out on this weekend’s craft garage sale taking place at the Jaycee Arts Center in Irving starting at noon.

What started out as a side table after my next Copic Club class has turned into *14 BOXES* of crafty goodness.  Yup – you read that right…  14 full boxes!  That means literally HUNDREDS of rubber stamps, clear stamps, paper, inks, ephemera, punches, tools, and other crafty  treasures at a mere fraction of their original cost.  I’ll have a box of freebies as well.

Why am I sharing all this crafty goodness with you?  I’m paring down my existing collection (affectionately called a “Michael’s store” by my friends) to make room for visiting relatives and a few new hobbies.  ;)  My limited space is your gain!

So here’s how it will work.  I will be teaching the DFW Copic Club class from 9:30-11:30 a.m. on Saturday morning (June 13th).  I’ll be shutting down the classroom from 11:30-12:00 to get supplies unloaded and will re-open the small gallery room right around noon for shopping.  The sale will go until 3 p.m. I hope you can swing by, say hello, and pick up a treasure or two!  Feel free to forward this message to any of your crafty friends that might also like to come by.

Accepted Forms of Payment:
Cash and personal checks.

Location:
Jaycee Arts Center
1975 Puritan Dr., Irving, TX 75061
(near Story Road and 183)
We’ll be in the small gallery room to the left as you enter the front door.

Oh – and just in case anyone is interested…I have just *one* spot left in Saturday’s Copic Club class.  We’ll be practicing feathering two different color families together while making the below yummy cupcake card.  (Anyone hungry yet?)  ;)
