We're lucky to have owner Jamie Gratz and designer Heather Campbell coming to teach a class and even though the classes are full. You can still join us Saturday morning for a "meet and greet" between 9:30 - 10:30 prior to the class along with the store full of Avery Elle samples from their latest release! Hope to see you on Saturday!

Distress Ink - Ground Espresso!
The August ink color of the month: Ground Espresso is perfect for Fall! I love to watercolor using his ink. Here are a few cards that we created over the weekend.
The road was created using a wide watercolor brush and I put his ink in a palette type container and added a little water. After the road dried, I used my white pen and created the dashed lines. The truck die by Savvy Stamps and the acorn brads come in a package of 10.
.
The September color has been revealed and will be available in our stores soon!
Check back to see what we create using the new color! You can call our Tukwila store if you would like for us to put on on hold for you. Thanks for stopping by!

Lawn Fawn Release!
The Lawn Fawn release has arrived and there are so many good sets to choose from! I can't wait to make some fun samples but here are 3 sets that I think stand out! These ghosts are going to be fun to play with from the Booyah set!
This snowglobe set called Ready, Set, Snow screams shaker card! We have some fun new white chunky glitter and beautiful sequins that will make our cards sparkle!
Another great clear set is going to be the Toboggan Together! Deer and penguins together in a set couldn't be more perfect! Follow our Instagram and Facebook for upcoming samples using these new sets!

Happy Mail
Snail Mail equals Happy Mail! We couldn't agree with this any more! Congratulations Mary Coleman who recently won our Facebook contest! We hope you enjoy one of our new snowflake stamps.
This is a cute card and good to see how you can easily only ink a portion of the stamp to use for different uses. The mini-envelope is a die from Savvy Stamps. Other stamps used: 1364C snail, 1480C happy mail, and 1387L long chevron. Fresh Ink colors used: charcoal and mango.
