Heidi Swapp Memory File Class by Jennifer Evans

Last Saturday I had the privilege to teach a Heidi Swapp Memory File class. Remember the Memory File pictured below? Well, this was the sample for this class.

 

 

 I knew we needed coffee to start us off on the right foot, so I stopped at Starbucks first. ;)

 

Unfortunately, the creamer tipped in the car and ruined all the coffee supplies. So, we had to stir the extra creamer I bought with our pinkies. ;)

I got to get a chance to spend time with some ladies that are come to our local Scrapbook Club.

Then, I got to meet some new friends that I only see via Instagram and online. Some traveled pretty far to visit! I felt super honored to meet them "in person!"

I love how each member personalized their file. Not one Memory File looked the same!

 



 

My dear friend and Craft Warehouse Design Team Member, Michelle, came to the class along with her mom! Can you believe her mom came from the Bay Area to spend time with her daughter and took the class with her? Sweet, right?!

I love how some came totally prepared with rolls of washi tape... just in case. ;)

We were taking photos with my phone and I had to have a picture taken of my dear twin sister, Becca. She is so amazing. She helped set up the class, break it down, and during class made sure that everyone was helped. Love you sis!

Craft Warehouse rented out the empty building next door so we could have room to do the class. We had plenty of room to work, talk, and play!

Thank you so much Craft Warehouse and to all those that came! It was a great time and I look forward to doing it again!

Burlap and Canvas Jars

 

Designed and Created by Dania Carson for Craft Warehouse

 

BURLAP COVERED JARS

 Supplies:

• Canning Jar or glass vase
• Beacons® 3in1 glue (I love this glue! My favorite for these burlap projects.)
• ½ yd pre-cut roll of burlap
• Canvas Home Basics® Canvas Fringe ribbon
• Jute twine

1. Measure the distance around the jar and the distance to the top. I made sure to measure to the top of the rim so I could hide the threads on my canning jar.
2. Cut burlap to the height of the jar and 1/2” larger around than your jar measurement.
3. Run a line of Beacons® 3in1 glue from top to bottom of the jar, around the bottom edge and then around the top edge of the jar. I found it easiest if I put my hand inside the jar and held it off the table while I did this.
4. Lay the burlap on the jar so the edge of burlap is on the glue line that runs from top to bottom and then roll burlap around the jar and smooth into place. Run another glue line top to bottom along where the burlap overlaps to hold it in place.
5. Measure the distance around the neck of the bottle and cut the fringe ribbon ½” longer than the measurement. Glue the ribbon in place with the Beacons® 3in1 glue.
6. Tie a length of jute twine over the top of the fringe ribbon for decoration.

Depending on the size of your jars you can cover several with the ½ yd of burlap.

 

* Burlap 1/2 yard cuts 2 for $5 (reg $3.49) until October 28th, 2012.

Scarf Necklaces

 

A simple, stylish project with only three pieces:

1. Choose a pre-cut ruffled scarf.

2. Pick a pendant to slide to the center of the scarf.

3. Pick accenting bails and rings to add weight to the scarf ends.

* Sale prices good until October 28th, 2012. Pre-cut Ruffle Scarves $5 (reg. $6.99). Entire Stock Pendants 50% off regular prices. Scarf Necklace Ends, Bails & Rings, buy one get one free (reg $1.49)

Authentique's Enchanted Boo Holiday Decor by Guest Designer SaLee Phillips

 

This was a fun, quick and pretty simple project to make. These letters can be hung on the wall, adhered to piece of wood, or on a deco mesh wreath! Lots of options with these MDF letters.

1. Paint the letters black with the acrylic paint

2. Coat each letter with Mod Podge and cover with a sheet of decorative paper
 

3. Using an exacto knife, cut out the letter (you can trace the letter on the paper and cut with scissors if you prefer, but I like to to use a craft knife for a more precision cut).
 

4.  Using Tim Holtz distressed ink in Black Soot and the applicator tool, distress the edges of the letters with the ink to give it more depth. Please add these two items to the supply list).
 

5. Once the paper is adhered to the letter, coat with Mod Podge and sprinkle with Martha Stewart Glow in the Dark Glitter (add this item to the supply list)
 

6.  Letter "B":  stick on the Jolee's haunted tree, crows and moon; hot glue the feathers to the top left corner; put sticker on metal cameo (this was something I had left over) but when I did a workshop, I cut out a cameo shape from a Cricut cartridge and used Stampendous Glitter Glass on it---it turned out even better than the metal one I used; add the October 31st sticker to the tree.
 

7.  Letter "O":  wrap some spider webbing around the letter; hot glue the stickers on; stamp was the My Minds Eye new Halloween stamp which I stamped with black and put Glossy Accent Crackle on (another sticker from the collection can also be used in place of the stamp); I also put the crackle on the big sticker; stick on a few spiders from Jolees and black flowers from Petaloo (add to list of products)
 

8.  Letter "O":  Glossy Accent the stickers; used the Alcohol Ink patina  (black and ocher) to the metal skulls then hung them on the O with a small chain; spray some black Mister Hueys on the gauze and place under the sticker---another GREAT option is using black tulle or use both for more fun!

How long have you been crafting?

I have been crafting since about 1992. That was the year I got married and moved from Kennewick, WA to Tallahassee, Florida. There I was finishing up school, looking for work and things to keep me busy.

My sister-in-law from Seattle loved to cross stitch and got me started just before I moved, so that was my first real crafting project, a counted cross stitch of a Christmas scene with Santa in front of the fireplace checking his list. As a matter of fact, I think that is what the the kit was called, "Checking His List".  I still have this counted cross stitch and bring it out every Christmas.

From there, I did tole painting, scrapbooking and stamping. Today, I do more papercrafting than anything else. I just love all the amazingly beautiful papers that Craft Warehouse offers.

What inspires you to be creative?

I get inspired from lots of things, but if I had to pick just one, I would say nature. I love the colors of each season and tend to create based on the season and the beautiful colors of each season.

What Craft Warehouse products do you love to use?

PAPER because they have the BEST selection.

How can you encourage others reading this column?

There is no right or wrong way to craft...it is all about being creative and enjoying the time you put into a project.
