Come in and create a few Fan-cy fans, perfect for giving as a gift or for keeping cool this Summer.  You'll create a gorgeous card too!

Imitation Leather Journal with Donna on Saturday, July 19th from 10AM - 12PM

Learn a really fun technique of turning cardstock into leather and create a fun mini book with your new-found knowledge.  You will complete one book, but Donna will give you the opportunity to create more book covers that you can complete at home.  This is a fabulous technique!

By the Sea Cards with Guest, Kathie DeLuca on Sunday, July 20th from 12-3PM

Come and make these beautiful watercolored cards in this fun class with Kathie!  We will be using Distress Stains as our medium to create these mini works of art.  We will pair it with some beautiful papers from Graphic 45 By the Sea Collection, and then add some cute embellishments to make 4 amazing cards!  If you would like to order this Time Holtz stamp set by Stampers Anonymous just let us know and we can have it waiting for you on the day of the class.
This class is for any level of stamper.


There's no need to stay inside to keep cool, come play with us and learn something new!

Celebrate Spring with DeNami stamps

Yes, it’s still winter but DeNami released their new stamps in early January and they just scream Springtime! 

I made several cards with this new release and using a couple of die cutting techniques to make these cards ‘swing’ into Spring. 

We’ll also be utilizing a new die cut set from Sizzix that will make these cards easy to cut and assemble but it will look like you spent hours creating them.

I'm teaching this class at Kept Creations in Whitman, MA Sunday, February 9th from 1-3pm. Click on this link for the DeNami class or class the store to sign up 781-447-4010.

Bring out the quilts the cool weather is here

I just love this time of year. The leaves start changing and the temperature starts to drop. It's fall and I it's a great time to get out those warm quilts out to take the chill off.

I stumbled upon this steel cut die a few months ago and couldn't wait to make a class out of it.

It looked so versatile to use for cards. Three different patterns makes it so you can make so many cards for so many different occasions. At this time of year you can use them for fall/thanksgiving cards along with those holiday cards coming up just around the corner.

I created a class with this die and will be teaching it this Sunday, Oct. 13th from 1-3pm here at Kept Creations. We'll be making two cards with a little homespun look. If you haven't signed up for this class call the store 781-447-4010 or you can sign up via the website using paypal.

Hope to see you this weekend!
