Hello again! After taking a month off due to graduations & dance recitals, the Whimzee's Girls are again ready to share a new edition of our fun series of Back to Basics Workshops. This Saturday, July 2, 2011, we'll be featuring the versatile and very colorful Luminarte Radiant Rain Shimmering Mists and Daubers. During our workshop, we'll share this great technique for adding more color and a little glitz to your papercrafting projects. We'd love it if you could call the store at (503) 259-9130 or leave us a comment here or on our Facebook page, to let us know you're planning on stopping by. (We like to get a handle on how many make & takes to prepare before each workshop.)
While we're busy prepping for this fun workshop, we did some research and thought you might enjoy taking a look at all the projects we found in the Creative Imaginations Gallery, featuring these fun products. Bookmark this post, then you can easily find it when you pull out all the fun mists & daubers you bought at the store!
This Saturday, May 7 from 10:00am to noon, will be the third in our series of Back to Basics Workshops. This edition of the workshop will feature the Sew Easy Tool from WeR Memory Keepers. Just in time for the holiday, we'll be making a fun Mother's Day card for our Make & Take. If you're planning to attend our workshop, please call the store at (503) 259-9130 to RSVP, so we know how many Make & Takes to prepare. But if you don't get a chance to call, don't worry, we'll make a few extras.
We Whimzee's Girls are very excited about the Sew Easy tool. Just imagine being able to give your papercrafting projects the up-to-the-minute look of handstitching without buying a sewing machine or dusting off the one in the back of your closet. Purchase a Sew Easy tool that includes a handle and a straight stitch head and you're ready to go. Now, if you're looking to add more fun stitches, just grab a couple extra stitch heads and add even more variety to your projects.
Check out these videos and project photos to see some of the many things you can do with your Sew Easy tool. And don't forget to stop by the store Saturday to try one out for yourself! Or if you already have one at home, bring it in & we'll show you how to use it.

We'd like to invite you to our second Back to Basics Workshop, this Saturday, April 2 from 10am to 12pm. This workshop is the second in a series of Back to Basics Workshops. Each workshop will feature either a tool or technique. During this second workshop, we are featuring our huge collection of Core'dinations Cardstock & all the techniques for altering it for use in your projects. Everyone will get a chance to play with the Core'dinations Cardstock during this drop in workshop. Whether you've never used our CC papers or have a huge collection of your own at home, 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 & supplies that you were so excited about when you purchased them, but haven't had the time to explore on your own. We'll show you some fun projects to make with our product that we're sure you'll want to run home and recreate! Of course, we'll have the papers 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.
THANKS!
In preparation for the workshop, we've been searching the internet for ideas to share with you. During our search, we've come up with some great projects featuring Core'dinations Cardstock. 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 Core'dinations Cardstock.
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.

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.
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!
