Fine Print Please Read

This is a Pre-Paid Event ONLY - Please understand that I must order all the materials necessary for the class in advance.

When you register with payment, I purchase materials for you, reserve your space (potentially turning other customers away), and prepare the materials for your projects.

In the unfortunate event that you are unable to attend I will be unable to refund your money. However, you will receive a packet containing all the materials to construct the projects. If  you are unable to pick up your packet before 90 days from the first day of class, your packet will be donated to the local church preschool for scraps.

If you registered without payment, and your payment is not received by the last day of registration, you will be taken off the attendee's list and no product will be ordered for you.

For any Classes to go - When your order is received with payment (if you send a check I will wait until it has cleared) I will cut all consumable supplies and package them to go on Monday's. I will then ship on Tuesdays - along with sending you the tutorial on the same day I ship out your items. example: if you order on a Tuesday, your order will be cut and sent the following week.

Thank you for understanding

Color Your House With Love ~ So Stampalicious Preview Day 3

I made mine into a card... However, If the sun seems to peer right into your window, give it something pretty to look at -- and through. These translucent  hearts are easy to make from waxed paper and crayons. In return, sunbeams will color your room as well! Although I have found that if you use our awesome Stampin' Up! watercolor crayons... they  are not so translucent :( but that does make them really fun for cards! 

I like to make the other kind with the kids using just your normal every day Crayola crayons. Which they do turn translucent. The kids have a great time playing with the colors the sun shows throughout the room when we have them hanging up in the window. 

What do you need for this? EASY! 

If you just want to do the hearts you will need: 

• Wax Paper
• Crayons
• Iron
• Grid Paper ( or something to protect your tabel and iron)
• Big Shot
• Framelits Hearts

If you would like to make the card as well, you will need:

• Twitterpatted DSP
• Crumb Cake CS
• Whisper White CS
• Early Espresso Classic Ink
• Blushing Bride ruffled ribbon
• Stampin' Dimensionals
• Blushing Bride Ruffled Satin Ribbon
• Snail
• Decorative Label Punch
• Basic Jewel Pearls

Well Then! On with the show shall we??? Join us over at So Stampalicious for more tutorials!
