WHAT I DISCOVERED AT CHA 2013

I will  be posting some of the items that I discover at CHA this year.  Some of them are not new but I may just have started paying attention to them or maybe found new ways of using them.  I will share them with you and hope you get something out of them too.

TSUKINEKO PRODUCTS
I spent 1 whole day doing a Tsukineko class and the following is the highlights of things that got me going again

1)  GOOSEBUMPS by Tsukineko will definetely give you goosebumps.  We have had these in store for about 6 weeks however today was my first chance to use them.  I LOVE THEM.  They give such a textrure that I now have to have them all.  You can spray directly on paper for a shinny bumpy effect or through a stencil.  The goosebumps then act as a resist to other inks and dies and you can create amazing effects. 

There is also now a new bauber top that is ideal for applying goosebumps to your stamps and stamping with it.  (check the URL provided for full details and samples of goosebumps)

Look out for a demo on these when I get back to Sydney. 

2) ALL PURPOSE INK - great ink for using on canvases, fabric and paper.  Highly pigmented so a very small amount goes a long way.  We had fun using it with shaving cream to create tie die fabric and marbled paper.

3) DELICATA - The best gold pad EVER

4) MEMENTO LUXE - same colours as memento however now in pigment ink.  This ink has a special formulation that can be embossed and can also be used on fabric and canvases.  You wil have to wait until JUNE for this new product but it will be a much needed product in the range.

Class: Pup's Creative Cards at Catchy Crafts...

Here at Catchy Crafts, we are very fortunate to have very talented teachers in paper-crafting   If you want to learn how to make unique cards, join Pup in her card classes at Catchy Crafts.  Her cards are always a delight to look at - many say, it is always a surprise when you unfold them.

On Thursday the 14th of March 2013 an amazing event is happening at Catchy Crafts...We will be hosting the extreemely talented Anna Dobrowski - "FINNABAIR".  She will be teaching 2 different multimedia classes one in the morning and the other in the afternoon.  Each class runs for 4 hours and covers numerous techniques.  (Come preparded to get messy!)

I have seen Anna's work in person and I can guarantee that it is WONDERFULL. You will also enjoy her teaching style and knowledge.

Due to her busy schedule this class has to be run on a Thursday but believe me when I say that it is worth having a day off work to attend!

Cost is $125 per class.  A non refundable deposit of $50 is necessary to book your spot.  The balance of the payment must be completed by the 30th of December.
