Cards to Die For!
This class features the Sizzix Bird with Vine die and you will create 3 cards which utilize that die. Last month’s class sold out. The ladies who took the class in March registered for Bird with Vine die class before the cards were completed. Well, the cards are now completed and I am already sold out of the die itself. However, with the “Cards to Die For” class, there are 3 Options/costs for this class:
1st OPTION: (This Option is SOLD OUT for May) You can create the cards and receive the die to take home $28.00 + tax non members ($26.60 + tax Members)
2nd OPTION: take the class to just complete the cards $15.00 + tax non-members ($14.25 + tax Members)
3rd OPTON: Receive the card kits (with pieces prepped for you) and complete the cards at home. $16.00 + tax non-members ($15.20 + tax Members)
The Bird with Vine class is Friday May 18th from 6:30-8:30 (9)pm.
The die featured is the Sizzix Bigz die Bird with Vine.
*We will also be using Spellbinder M-Bossabilities on the cards, Spellbinders nestability and shapeability dies.
*These dies can be used in most leading die cutting machines including the Big Shot, Big Kick, and Cuttlebug.
**I am looking at doing this class monthly or every other month. If you think this is a class that you would be interested in taking every month or every other month, please let me know as well what OPTION above you would prefer. I would definitely need time to get the dies ordered in. The price would fluctuate slightly each month depending on the die used. I have also started bringing in dies from a few NEW companies so we can add in dies from other companies other than Sizzix.

Essential Stamps February 14th challenge!
We have started another challenge over at our challenge blog. Challenges are now open for a 2 week time frame to give you more time to create and upload your creations!
We did a simple sketch challenge pictured here:
Please visit the challenge blog
http://sbebcchalleng
es.blogspot.com/ , complete your card, upload it and link it back to your blog.
Here is my card for this sketch.
As it was Valentine’s Day I thought that it would be fitting to keep with Reds/Pinks. The bird image is from the Bird Background stamp set. The branch that the bird is on is from the Birdhouse Background 1 stamp set. The bird image was coloured using Pebbles Chalks. I used Basic Grey Kissing Booth pattern paper and Bazzill cardstock. A variety of sizes of paper flowers, dew drops and stickles finished it off.
Happy Stamping!

Jan 17th Challenge
Hello Papercrafters!
Today is the start of a new challenge over at our Challenge Blog “Scrapbook Essentials BC Challenges”. We are featuring The Welcome Home collection by Bo Bunny today. This week’s challenge is a colour challenge:
The Design Team has come up with some fabulous samples for you for inspiration. Make sure you head over to our Challenge Blog to see all of the samples. If you have any questions regarding the products we use, please leave us a comment and we will be happy to answer your question.
Here are 2 samples for you to start with.
The first sample is by the Illustrator of the Essential Stamps Teresa Winstone. She has created a wonderful card with so much detail. She created a layered background using Bazzill Cardstock as well as Welcome Home pattern paper and distressed the edges of each. She followed this by also inking them with Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Peeled Paint and Walnut Stain). She hand cut different flourish details out of the Welcome Home pattern paper and added them in 3 more layers and adding Stickles glitter glue to the top flourishes. Did you notice that she used the Flourish Fillers 1 stamp set to add even more detail on the background paper? She coloured in a portion of the rounded end of the flourishes using COPIC markers. The butterfly image from the Natural Butterflies 1 set is stunning. To keep the butterfly light yet colourful, she left some white space. Notice how precise her cutting was around the antennae! A little Cinnamon coloured Stickles glitter glue in the bottom right corner adds just an extra touch and helps to ground the card.
The 2nd sample is the card that I created. I used the Bo Bunny Welcome Home collection to create the backgrounds. On the top light brown pattern paper, I stamped the butterfly bush using Tim Holtz Distress Ink Walnut stain. The 3 butterflies were stamped on scrap white cardstock, coloured with COPIC markers and hand cut out. I inked the edges of the pattern papers with Walnut Stain distress ink, border punched the green cardstock with the Martha Stewart border punch. Where the small holes are punched out, I placed dabs of Liquid Pearls White Opal colour. The ribbon at the top of the border is 1/8″ velvet ribbon (antique gold).
COPICs: YG93, YG95, 0 Blender, B05
Pattern Paper: Bo Bunny Welcome Home collection (Picket Fence, Flourish and Porch Swing)
Cardstock: Bazzill
Border Punch: Martha Stewart
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Walnut Stain, Peeled Paint, Broken China)
Stamp sets: Essential Stamps Natural Butterflies 1, Flourish Fillers, and Whimsical Bird(Word)
Other: Stickles, May Arts 1/8″ Velvet ribbon, Liquid Pearls, Foam adhesive
Happy Creating and I hope that you will join in on the Challenge!
