I took this class at my Local Stamp Store and i was blown away the things that we did..We used our stylist and paper and a smoother and she had butter flies stamped on black paper for us already and we painted with PE and Floor wax i know its in the resources but then we took our tools and on the back broke the fibers and molded the butterfly so that the wings curled and them we either attached to hair clips or cards etc... then the next thing we did was took a stamp and shaded the images with markers and then on another image. the same image we colored and cut out then we put TONS of hot glue on it and laid it over the whole image and it gave it this kinda puffy look. It was a cute frog. I will be posting to gallery but it might be hard to see and i will try my best to explain how to..
She called it paper shaping and my friends thought it was like origomi at first when i told them the name. BUT NO WAY...I think she did give us typed instructions and if i get the chance i will scan and save and try to post it..Lets just say it was a AWESOME PRESENT To Me for my BD Yesterday....
Every time she showed me something i was like wow. and since i am still learning i was like a Kid in a Candy Store

Classes are a blast. I remember years ago I never took them because I figured I'd rather spend the money on actual supplies. I kicked myself when I finally realized how much I'd missed out on! Supplies are great, but KNOWLEDGE is priceless! All the ways to use my supplies that I never would have figured out on my own....
My advice is that you do it at home as soon as possible. I have taken so many classes where the technique was so easy or simple that I thought I could do it at home but by the time I get around to it I'm lost. Good luck. Sounds really neat. Please post in your gallery
sounds really neat-- Eager to see what you learned in that class. I've attended a bunch and it's true, you really need to do the technique or whatever again ASAP just to imbed it for the future.
i tried this morning to do it again and of course i couldnt find my glue gun when i needed it lol so i have to get another one but i am going to scan the directions in computer and when i do i will let you all know and then you can PM if u want to see them
