April Birthday Card Banquet, Make Reservations NOW

Everyone is invited to come and make the Blossom Workshop On The Go Birthday cards with me on Thursday, April 16th from 4 to 8PM.  Please contact me with your reservation by April 9th.

Here's what we'll be making ...

Here's how it works ... I will have the cards in the kit cut up and ready to stamp and assemble for you. There will be stamping stations set up (like the good ol' days for those who have attended in the past).  If you don't talk too much you will complete 15 cards in three different designs. (hahahaha) You don't need to arrive at exactly 4PM but you should arrive before 6PM in order to finish.

YOU bring your own adhesive and scissors.

There are three different ways to attend this event.

Purchase the complete WOTG Kit - $28  
     When you choose this option you will go home with the 15 cards, extra embellishments (twine and sequins), a little extra paper AND a full sized stamp set to use on additional projects in the future. The stamp set alone is a $17.95 value.

Purchase JUST the 15 cards - $19 
     When you choose this option you will go home with the 15 cards and the extra embellishments. You will NOT get any extra paper or a stamp set.
 
Purchase 3 cards (one of each design) - $6 
     When you choose this option you will go home with 3 cards and extra sequins. 

Everyone who attends can add additional sets of 3 cards for $4. 

Of course you have to make a reservation for this event so I will know exactly how many kits to order and how many cards to cut up. Your payment is your registration. Just use the PayPal button below OR contact me by email at shellynemitz@gmail.com.

PML Banquet ... Yummy

Last week I held a Banquet in the Pretty Pieces Café. It was DELICIOUS!! We were a group of very messy diners, but the final results were soooo worth the mess.

Look at these adorable cards. This is the work of one of my "Freqent Diners". All of the people who attended this event walked away with really amazing cards. Everyone received a dozen Picture My Life cards from the Babycakes pack and got busy. I was very proud of their work. If only I had taken more pictures to show you. 

BUT I was a quite busy keeping track of all of the tools and embellishments.

Check out the mess below ... I made it, NOT the card artists. 

If you haven't checked out Close To My Heart's Picture My Life product yet ... DO IT NOW!! AND if you missed this banquet, don't worry. I have a few more events like this up my sleeve!

PML Card Banquet

One of the goals in the Pretty Pieces Café is to have a Banquet at least once a month. What's a Banquet?? It's just a fancy name for a class. The event has a start time and an end time. Everyone who attends will be making the same thing at the same time.  I will be the "teacher". You might even learn something.

Guess how long it took me to make this card? Did you guess under 10 minutes? CTMH Picture My Life (PML) cards make it fun and easy to create something adorable at a record speed. AND of course if you want to get all fussy you can do that too. I fought the urge to go further with this. It's important to know that you can make cute things fast.

Here are the Banquet details...

     WHO - YOU and nine other people. There are enough supplies for 10 people.   

     WHAT - make six different cards using PML products and a whole lot more!     

     WHEN - Thursday, August 21st at 10am or 6pm (two hours class)

     WHERE - my house in Shoreview

     WHY - it's fun AND productive all at the same time

     

The cost for 6 cards is $10 per person. You will need to bring adhesive & scissors. All kinds of other tools will be available for you to use. A buffet of embellishments will also be available in colors that match these cards. It's going to be a lot of creative fun. There are no pre-designed cards in this class. You will have to add in your own creativity. BUT if you look at the card above all I did was adhere the floral card to card stock, tie a ribbon around it and add some bling. EVERYONE can do this.

Here's another card. Of course you can stamp on these too. It's a great way to use a stamp set you purchased because you love it but you don't know want to design something from scratch. Please feel free to bring your own stamp sets to add to your cards. All of the inks & blocks you need will be here.

I made this so you can see that it's not always about pre-decorated PML cards. Here's what these two cards looked like before I got out my washi tape and stamps.

Can you see what I did??

Contact me starting NOW!! Remember that there's limited space. Feel free to bring a friend. Send an email to shellynemitz@gmail.com to register or ask questions.

How Did It Go?

Everyone has been asking about the first weekend of the Pretty Pieces Café. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. How about a bunch of pictures!?!

We had three Box Card Banquets. The Café was open for Al A Carte cards and Take Out pick up. It was a whirlwind of fun!! A big thank you to everyone who came and made the first opening a success.

Here's what a little of what happened at the Box Card Banquets.

On Friday the Café was open for Al A Carte card making. That means each person chose the quantity and style of the cards they wanted. All they had to do was pick up their "serving tray" and go through the line to pick up their supplies.

WARNING ... if you bring your kids I might just put them to work - LOL!

Don't worry I helped. My lovely assistant Lizzy and I cleaned up a whole lot of paper scraps while the card making continued in the other room. We were a great team. AND she was paid handsomely with a box full of colorful paper scraps! At least she thought it was a great reward.







The next time the Pretty Piece Café will be open is May 30th from 10am until 8pm. Mark your calendar and plan to be there at whatever time works best for you. We'll have Al A Carte cards AND a Delicious Jewelry Buffet.
