I own Creative Design and Peddlers Den in Somonauk IL. Somonauk sits on the county line of DeKalb County and LaSalle County. Our customers travel up to an hour and a half to take classes and shop at our store. I have been stamping and teaching stamping for 15 years. Stampscapes is my all-time favorite.

QuickScapes
Beginner skill level.
This is a brayered backgrounds class in which you will use Stampscapes images, and do some basic scene building. A good beginners class for those who admire Stampscapes, and a good choice as an introduction to scene building. You will make 5 or more cards. Class will be cancelled if fewer than 4 are registered 1 week in advance.

Hand Blended Backgrounds
This is not a typical Stampscapes class, but is a good beginner's class for those who are interested in progressing on to an intermediate or advanced Stampscapes class. In this class you will use Clearsnap Stylus handles and white foam blending tips to create hand blended backgrounds. You will then use both Stampscapes and other images and verses to make attractive, inspirational cards. You will make 4 cards. Class will be cancelled if fewer than 4 are registered 1 week in advance.

WinterScapes
For experienced stampers. This is a great Christmas card class, or cards for any winter occasion. The scenes feature bare branched trees, evergreens, cold, crisp monochromatic color, and cold, icy glitter. Techniques include masking/scene building, glittering, and use of the tonal applicator ti add simple, layered color and dark bordering. Suitable for beginner/intermediate skill levels. Three cards are made. Class will be cancelled if fewer than 4 are registered 1 week in advance.

Ledges & Lakes
An intermediate level class. Participants will use masking, the tonal applicator, and blending tips to create and color these scenes. May include woodsy and/or tropical scenes. 3 cards will be made featuring rocky ledges and lakes. Class will be cancelled if fewer than 4 are registered 1 week in advance.

INTRO TO STAMPSCAPES

Each student must bring a tonal applicator stamp, 3 stylus handles with 6 new blending tips, detail scissors, a 6" soft rubber brayer, acrylic blocks (including long and large) and tape runner.

BASIC MEGA CLASS
