We'd like to invite you to our very first Back to Basics Workshop, this Saturday, March 5 from 10am to 12pm. This workshop is the first in a series of Back to Basics Workshops. Each workshop will feature either a tool or technique. During this first workshop, we are featuring the Martha Stewart Scoring Board and Paper Trimmer. Everyone will get a chance to use the tools to create a Make & Take during this drop in workshop. Whether you have one of our featured tools at home gathering dust or would like to try out something new, we'd love to have you join us for the workshop. Our purpose for these workshops is to encourage you to pull out some of those tools that you were so excited about when you purchased them, but never took the time to learn how to use. We'll show you some fun projects to make with our featured tools that we're sure you'll want to run home and recreate! Of course, we'll have the tools available for purchase, in case you don't have them at home. If you're planning on attending or have any questions, please call the store at 503.259.9130 or RSVP on our Facebook Event Page, so we know how many Make & Takes to prepare.
THANKS!
In preparation for the workshop, we've been searching the internet and practicing with our tools. During our search, we've come up with some great demonstration videos for our featured products. So if you can't make it to the workshop or do attend and want more information on your tool once you get it home, we thought we'd give you some links to websites and videos from around the web featuring the Martha Stewart Scoring Board and Paper Trimmer.
Check out this video demo showing how to create a box & lid with the Martha Stewart Scoring Board...
Nice demo of how to create an envelope with the Martha Stewart Scoring Board...
And a step by step slideshow on how to craft a rosette, with some nice mood music...
How about one more? A rosette with a punched edge...
OK, we know you want one more! :) A pearl is used to finish this rosette. The presenter uses hot glue to create her rosette, our favorite adhesive for this project and we learn how to create a card with a half rosette...
And now for a few photos and links to create some beautiful projects with the Martha Stewart Scoring Board...
A project for the guys! We think this is a great one for Father's Day, thanks to the CraftGossip.com blog.
A fun birthday card created with the Scoring Board & the Cricut from The Green Cricut blog...
The Imaginisce Blog combines two of our favorite things, rosettes & banners...
And from Martha Stewart Crafts, a great description of their Paper Trimmer...
We'll leave you with a few project photos to inspire you to get crafting with your Martha Stewart Scoring Board and Paper Trimmer...
We'll get back to you soon with some more links to some of these last few projects. But since we've got rosettes on the brain, we think we'd better take a break & get back to preparing for this weekend's workshop!
Leave us a comment & let us know which of these projects is your favorite!
And of course, we'd love to have you leave us a link to a project you've created with either the Martha Stewart Scoring Board or Paper Trimmer.
If you'd like more papercrafting inspiration or would like to join our online community and post your project photos there, we'd love to have you!
