October Workshops @ Snazzys

 

Hello again, how have we arrived at October already! Autumn is definitely with us but the upside is the beautiful array of shades developing in the foliage around us and an opportunity to use lots of warm, mellow colours in our crafting.

As ever we have plenty of variety for you with everything from autumnal themed cards with JOFY stamps to a pretty mixed media piece using lots of Tim Holtz dies, stamps, and inks, another double cardmaking day with the latest Christmas stamps and dies from Impression Obsession in the morning, and from Hero Arts in the afternoon. There is also a stunning book in a box with Graphic 45's new Mon Amour collection and, of course our regular monthly layout workshop, new Croptime session and weekly Stop By & Stamp sessions too.

Tuesday 6 October 11am to 3pm

Croptime £5

Are you a scrapbooker? Thinking about trying scrapbooking? Got lots of photos but don't know where to start? Stuck for layout ideas? If this sounds like you then why not pop along to our new Croptime drop in session between 11am and 3pm on the first Tuesday of each month. It is not a taught workshop but more of a social session where we are happy to share all our tools and equipment with a few ideas thrown into the pot too! Kettle and coffee pot are on so just bring along whatever want to work on, beginners very welcome.

Wednesday 7 October 11am to 3pm and 6pm to 9pm

Stop By and Stamp £5

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced crafter, make cards, scrapbook layouts, art journal pages or create Mixed Media pieces, stamps are a great addition. In these sessions we make all our workshop tools, stamps and consumables available to you so you can have fun experimenting and creating without having to buy all the bits and pieces. Why not drop by, enjoy a cuppa and have a go.

Saturday 10 October 10am to 1pm

Take One Stamp - Autumn Glory £15/1SWV

This JOFY set of stamps from PaperArtsy was actually a Summer release but the moment I set eyes on it I saw mellow colours, pumpkins and autumn leaves. We will use inks, Distress paints and embossing folders to create really gloriously warm and inviting cards for all those Autumn occasions.

Saturday 10 October 2pm to 5pm

Autumnal Mini Cabinet Frame £15/1SWV
