Art Journaling 2019 with Cherri

Nov8

Sisterhood, Little Sisters, and introducing All Star Sisters

Art Journaling returns in 2019 with three groups at Artsy Stamps and Papercrafts – and continues with the gathering of two established groups, The Sisterhood and The Little Sisters.  Plus, a third group is now open for new participants – the All Star Sisters.

The Sisterhood will meet monthly January through April and work on UFO’s (Unfinished Objects), plus Patsy will provide one product or technique demonstration at each session.  This is the fourth year of a returning group.  The fee will be $5 per session donated to one of Patsy’s animal charities.  It is an art fellowship full of love and laughter.

The Little Sisters and the All Star Sisters will both have six bi-weekly sessions from January through March, meeting every other weekend – Little Sisters on Sunday and All Star Sisters on Saturday.  This year’s project will be based on Cherri’s journal “Autographs from a Bird” (on display at Artsy) which includes paper engineering, techniques and products.  The students provide all their own supplies, while Cherri brings mentoring, demonstrations and many things to share.  $60 for all six sessions, and payment must be made by December 30th to hold your spot.

To begin each student should collect “Cherri’s Tool Box”, which can be found on her blog.  In addition, on Session One each student brings 10 pieces of color coordinated 12×12 cardstock printed on both sides and a good 12” personal paper trimmer.  From there, each week Cherri will post on her blog the next session class plan.  The All Star Sisters must speak to Cherri before joining to assure the class work and homework is a comfortable level for them and that they understand the process (stampincherri@comcast.net).  Maximum 8 on the new group.

Little Sisters journaling begin February 18

Feb9

The LITTLE SISTERS CLASSES are Sundays, from 12:00 to 3:30p at Artsy Stamps & Papercrafts in Loveland, CO.  Cost is $40 for all FOUR sessions, students provide their own supplies. Little Sisters are doing three signatures (instead of 5), which requires 9 pieces of 12×6″cardstock to begin. If your cardstock has a design that needs to be upright, be sure to cut the cardstock horizontally so when folded in half, you don’t have any cats or dogs laying on their backs. If you are not sure, just bring the 12×12″ sheets to class and I’ll help you cut.  Also bring to class your mini wall calendar that will be used as journal images (or whatever other image set you have selected).

  1. February 18
  2. March 4
  3. March 18
  4. April 15

Please read the following three blog posts for the Sisterhood.  The only difference for the first Little Sisters’ class is the 9 pieces of 12×6″cardstock, which will then be folded in half to create a 6×6″ journal.  I’ll have a class plan for the four sessions at our first meeting. The front doors will be open at 11:30a, so we can start at noon.

January 5 — THIS AND THAT

January 5 — TOOLBOX

February 8 — SISTERHOOD BEGINS.  Please look at the photos and bring specialty paper, if you like.

See you soon my little ones!  xoxo Cherri

Sisterhood begins Sunday, February 11

Feb9

 

Be sure to double check the January 5 posts regarding “bring to class” and “toolbox”.  In addition, if you like bring some vellum, mulberry, hand-made, or other special paper to sew into each signature, as shown in the photos below.  I will bring some vintage sheet music to share.  Also, bring to class your mini wall calendar that will be used as journal images (or whatever other image set you have selected). And, if you like, bring last year’s journal for show and tell … or anything else you would like to share.  I’ll have the front door of the store open at 11:30a so we can start at noon.

Sisterhood & Little Sisters Journaling 2018

Oct17

“A Scrappy Tag Book” (inspired by Somerset Studio’s Jul/Aug 2017 issue)

Overview ….  Session 1, we will build our journal book by sewing 5 signatures together and then binding them with a scrap of muslin fabric. Session 2, we will create background color on 12 tags using Distress Oxide Inks and mount them into the book to sturdy the cover and fronts of each signature.  Sessions 3 through 6, we will ART JOURNAL.

There are two challenges.  FIRST is to use images from a mini wall calendar (approximately 8×8 inches or smaller).  They can be found at most stores selling wall calendars; I bot mine at Barnes & Noble.  I also used a book postcards from the same artist (Alphfonse Mucha).  Resources are shown below.

The SECOND challenge during weeks 3 to 6 will be to share a stamp, die cut or anything that goes with the others’ journals based on their theme and color.  In other words, if there are twelve sisters, each will share a little something with the other eleven.

BEGIN by collecting cardstock to go into your journal.  15 pieces of 6 x 12 inch CARDSTOCK (not text weight paper) will each be folded in half  horizontally to create the book size of 6 by 6 inches.  Each signature will have three of the 6×12 inch pieces (3 sheets x 5 signatures = 15 pieces of 6×12 inch cardstock).  Signatures can all be from the same line of paper, or like mine, they can all be different.  I used one of line of Graphic 45 for a signature, and two different lines of G45 for two other signatures.  The last two signature cardstocks were all mixed up with colors that went together.

The SISTERHOOD DATES are Sundays, from 12:00 to 3:30p at Artsy Stamps & Papercrafts in Loveland, CO.  Cost is $60 for all six sessions, students provide their own supplies.

  1. January 28
