Upcoming Events

Here at The Crafty Scrapper our goal is to provide excellent classes and fun crops for our customers. We try to keep this events page up to date and accurate. There are occasions where we make a mistake or a class has to be canceled. We will do our best to notify you of any changes in the class scheduling. To assist in this, please be sure we have accurate contact information for you when you sign up for a class at the store. 

Classes and crops are designed for adult participants unless otherwise noted.

 

Friday Night Crops

Call the store to reserve a spot, then come on in and scrap. Bring your supper, snacks and supplies. Use our tables and tools.The store us open until midnight so you will have plenty of time to work on your projects.

On the rare occasion that no one has signed up for the crop by Thursday night, we may cancel the crop.

Classes 

Signing up for classes or crops requires pre-payment; please call or stop by the store to sign up. Fees are non-refundable. 

IMPORTANT: Classes by store teachers must be canceled 48 hours in advance for a store credit less 10% fee. Within 48 hours a kit will be available.

In this class, you will create a whimsical and fun piece of Art that has so much character. You will use paint and ink sprays on a 9x12 inch wood panel canvas, which adds to the interest as you can see the grain of the wood, giving the piece a textural quality like nothing else.

Cameo- Making Your Own Cut Files - Anita Scroggins

Saturday   August 9th   10:30am-1pm   $35

Are you tired of cutting out your stamped images? During this class you will learn how to create your own cut files using scanned images. These files can then be used in other programs that support SVG files. We will be working in the Silhouette Studio software.
Prior to class students will need to scan two stamped images. Stamp a medium sized stamp (@ 4x4) using black ink onto white cardstock and scan. Choose a simple design that is one single image for the 1st scan, and a more complicated design that maybe has individual pieces for the second. I will also have images we will learn on.
