Welcome to 2009!

Welcome to an exciting new year of papercrafting at Jamieson Way Community Centre, and welcome to our new blog! What we are hoping is that this website will become your one stop site for anything you want to know about the card making/scrapbooking sessions including the dates, details of any new products and customer specials.

Following on from the success of the monthly Card Making challenges last year, we are looking to continue with some exciting new challenges in the months ahead, and not only will you be able to check out what the new challenges are, you will also be able to see the finished products from the challenge posted here as well.

Our first event of the year will be the New Product Launch which is being held on 30 January, commencing at 7.30pm. This will be an opportunity for you to see and purchase some of the new products and creative ideas of how to use them. We are particularly excited by the new Primary Paper range, the new stamp range which features lots of active kids, and some very versatile 3 step stamps. We are sure you will be inspired by these new products.

There will be a huge display of new products, FREE New Product Flier per person, Catalogues available to purchase, 10% off all orders over $60 placed on the night, 2009 Workshop samples and further details about Cardmaking workshops, and other plans and timetables for 2009. FREE gift for anyone that brings along a friend who has not been before, as well as a raffle and other great opportunities. I will also have a range of discontinued products available for sale so bring along your extra change. (Discounted items must be cash only!)

Have your friends been impressed by the cards you have made? Do you think that they might be interested in coming along but they aren't sure about coming to the workshops? How about about hosting a demo? There are some exciting new projects for different levels of experience and benefits for being a hostess, including 10 percent off your own purchases at a party.

Previous Tips of the Month

Have you missed the previous Tip of the Month? Never fear, we will have them all here for you!

• When using the Kaszazz double sided tape, you can tear it rather than cutting it. This will save time and ensure that you can get you projects completed quicker

• Always store your ink pads upside down. This will ensure the ink remains at the top of the pad ready for when you next stamp.
  

What is Card Swap?

A card swap is when you enter a selected challenge that is offered by the host. Each person who is entered in the challenge comes up with a card design that fits the challenge criteria. Multiple copies of your design are made by you equivalent to the amount of members in the group. Your entries are then submitted to the host who will collate the cards and send them out to all the participants in the challenge.

So if there are 8 members in the challenge you would need to make 1 design by 8 and send them in. In return you will receive 8 different cards back, all meeting the specified criteria. The aim is to share ideas, techniques and to build your collection of samples to help you with you own card making. There is no level of experience required as we are all learning and have different areas of expertise, and there is NO COPYRIGHT!!!

Only submit ideas that you are happy to share with others, and you will need to include your name and a brief list of the products/techniques you have used, so that others can replicate the designs. With each challenge there is an unspoken expectation that all reasonable effort will be taken by each contributor. Please don’t feel that you MUST take part if your heart’s not in it!!!

What to bring

Our workshops run at at Jamieson Way Community Centre from 7.30 to 11pm. The class will start at 8pm and run for approximately 2 hours.

For those of you who have not done any card making before, we will take you through the basics and show you step by step how easy it can be!!!

The cost of these workshops are generally $20 and will include all materials, a complimentary glass of champagne on arrival, nibblies and tea & coffee, throughout the evening, as well as a Lucky Door prize, which will be drawn on the night. If the workshop will cost any more than that, then we will let you know.


What to bring

Trimmer
Scissors
Ruler
Eraser
Pencil
Super Tape
Magic Mount

Don’t panic if you do not have any or all of these things as I will have tools with me on the night. It’ll just help for things to run smoothly if we have some extra bits and pieces to share. Please make sure that all of your items are clearly marked with your name so that everything goes home with you at the end of the night.

Kaszazz orders can be placed on the night, with an extra 10% to spend on extra goodies if you spend more than $60.
