And behind those shutters, is it a window….
And the final project is a couple of little gift items:

JUNE CLASS – Last Chance Stamps Your Way
Come along and take advantage of a last opportunity to use some retiring products before they’re gone.
We’ll be doing things a bit differently for this class. Instead of having set projects I’ll put out all my retiring stamp sets and retiring colours and let you have a play.
I’ll show you how to do the masked rainbow background and then let you choose colours and stamps to make up to ten cards each in the allotted time.
Here are some ideas for what you could make…

MAY CLASS – Razzleberry Splash Stack
I’ve got something a bit different for the class this month – we’ll be experimenting with one of Stampin’ Up!’s Simply Scrappin’ Kits. These kits are great for scrapbooking but in this class we’ll use it to make cards. We’ll make a stack of projects all using the Razzleberry Splash kit and you’ll get to take the rest of the pack home to make more or to experiment with on your own.
The full kit (valued at $37.70 including delivery) is included in the $40 class fee and contains:
3 sheets of 12″ x 12″ cardstock stickers (1 of each design)
6 sheets of 12″ x 12″ patterned paper (3 of each design)
8 sheets of 12″ x 12″ cardstock (2 of each colour)
The gorgeous colours are Lucky Limeade, Night of Navy, Pink Pirouette and Rich Razzleberry.
THE CLASS PROJECTS USE LESS THAN HALF THE KIT
SO YOU’LL HAVE LOADS LEFT TO PLAY WITH!

Get ready to be busy for this class because we’ll be making 6 full-sized cards…
This is one of my favourites – the die-cut sticker sheets make it so easy. I especially like all the border strips!
And if 6 cards wasn’t enough, we’ll also be making 6 mini cards…
…as well as a cute little holder to keep them in.
It’s super easy and made by folding a single sheet of patterned paper. I came up with it while playing around with some paper scraps on my desk and I love that it doesn’t require any cutting or adhesive! Here’s the inside:

The Tri-Shutter card features papers from the Birds of a Feather pack. And when it opens out there are some hidden surprises!
The mini milk carton is made using the Big Shot and is just perfect for filling with M&Ms or mini eggs so you can give just a small amount of chocolate – making it a great choice for those not wanting to overindulge or for the kids who’ll be getting bucket loads from everyone!
And finally, an elegant single ‘flower’ that’s good enough to eat! 
This project is my newly designed version of one I’ve been demonstrating at workshops lately (see below) – which was inspired by my friend Kathryn Manglesdorf from Adelaide.
Cheers,
Genna
FEBRUARY CLASS – Inking Rainbows

I love using baby wipes for ‘rainbow’ backgrounds…
And I love how well these backgrounds team with silhouette stamps…
But that’s not the only way to get the rainbow look…

Genna

All three cards feature animals and all are my own designs…here’s a closer look at the creatures I’ll teach you how to create:
A puppy for little girls
A huggable hippo
And a baby bear!
Or, if you’d prefer, you can make this last one as a Baby in a Bear Suit for something a bit different.

All three projects are simpler than they look and just perfect for creating multiples to keep all your loved ones happy.
We’ll be making some custom gift wrapping complete with a paper bow and matching tag! And what a great use for the packing paper that protects our stamping goodies in the post.
This cute double-sided treat holder is so easy – just four score lines and four stamped and punched images – and so versatile. You can tie the ribbon high to hang it up or lower down for a perfect place setting decoration. I’ve put a couple of chocolates in mine but you could also use any combination of coffee sachets, tea bags or other treats.
And this star can be used as a decoration or a tag. Or, as you’ll see below, it can be opened out to reveal a secret place for a message!
STARTS THIS WEEK!

SEPTEMBER CLASS – Blooming With Kindness
FIRST CLASS IS THIS THURSDAY
– SCROLL DOWN FOR THE WHEN AND WHERE!
When I planned this class I told everyone I would make something new and pretty. And I meant it. Here’s my soft and delicate antidote to all the masculine cards I’ve been making lately – three lovely cards featuring the new stamp set Blooming With Kindness. And all featuring something new and different. There are lots of new techniques to learn too – like the dry embossing by hand that gives the flower a raised look on the first card. It’s hard to see from the front in this photo…
…but if you look at it from the side you can see it really pop!
Then there’s the soft effect of the pillow background on the second card:
And a little sneak peak at another new stamp set and matching framelits dies:
The final card is quick and easy and showcases how a simple step like piercing holes can really lift a project:
And you’ll discover how easy it is to do with the brand new range of piercing templates. Here’s the Festive version from the Holiday Catalogue:
Festive Paper-Piercing Pack $13.95
And finally, here’s a good look at the star of the show:
These cards would be perfect for any occasion – just stamp the greeting you prefer! And the designs and techniques will stand you in good stead for use with many other stamp sets too!
