Changes to the July calendar

I have made some changes to the July calendar.  I will now have the card and technique classes on Mondays during the day as well as on Thursdays in the evening.  So if you can't get to the evening class I hope the daytime class will work for you.  Most daytime classes will be held at 11:00 am.

If you have any questions, please feel free to drop by or give me a call.  If you would like to receive the store calendar monthly, please come by, send me an email or call with your email address. I will try to have the calendar sent out around the middle of each month.

Hope everyone has a great rest of the week.
Hugs,

Happy Monday!!

Gosh, I didn't realize it has been as long since my last post. My first Copic class is full on Thursday, July 12.  Woohoo!!  I am very excited about teaching this.  I received my shipment of Copic markers so I have plenty for everyone for the class. I will be teaching this same class on Mon., July 9 at 11:00 am if anyone is interested in a day class.

On Thur., July 19 at 5:30 pm, I will be teaching a card class.  It will be the "Magic Message Card".  Please sign up early so I will have enough kits for everyone. These pictures are of the sample I made. We will be using different papers and cardstock.

The cost of the class is $15 and I will provide the card base, patterned paper, white cardstock, stamps and ink.  You will need to bring paper trimmer, scissors, adhesive (tape runner, ATG will work best), ruler, pencil, score board (if you have one), any embellishments you would like on your card.

This card is an A2 size card (4 1/4 x 5 1/2) it will fit in an invitation envelope.

I will be closed on Wed., July 4th. Have a safe and happy Independence Day!!

I will also be closed on Sat., July 7.

I hope everyone has a great week!

Hugs, Delo

First class supply list

The first Copic class at Behind the Turquoise Door will be on Monday, July 9 at 11:00 am , I will also teach the same class on Thurs., July 12 at 5:30 pm.  

 

You will need the 8 Copic markers listed here for the class:

YG63 Pea Green, E47 Dark Brown,  RV95 Baby Blossoms, Y35 Maize

E23 Hazelnut, N5 Neutral Gray No. 5,  E43 Dull Ivory, 0 Colorless Blender

I will provide the stamped image, the base for the card, the sentiment and the ribbon (it may be different than what is pictured).

You will need to bring scissors, pop dots, adhesive (ATG or tape), inks if you want to distress the card.

For each marker bought at Behind the Turquoise Door, you will receive a $0.75 credit for the cost of the class.

My first week!

Today I finished the first week at my new store, Behind the Turquoise Door.  It was a great week and I am looking forward to many, many more weeks of doing this.  I completed four cards this week and have a new album started, I hope to finish this album next week. 

I have set my first Copic coloring class for Mon., July 9 during the day (I haven't decided the time yet),  I will repeat this class on Thur., July 12 at 5:30 pm if there is enough interest in having an evening class.  The image on the card will be very easy to complete and does not take many markers.

If you are interested in learning to use Copic markers or card making come by Behind the Turquoise Door at 121 S. Canal Ste. B (between 10 am and 6 pm) or call 575-706-3447 to sign-up, or just drop by and see the cards for upcoming card classes.

Hope everyone has a safe Father's Day and to all Dads, Happy Father's Day!!

The door!

It's getting closer and closer!!  I wanted to post a picture of my new front door.  I am opening Monday 6/11(wow that's tomorrow).  I will be a work in progress for a while, I am still waiting on my printer, some of my back ordered merchandise and I am working on getting everything organized (is that ever done?).  But I am super excited!!

If you are looking for me on Canal St.  I am in Suite B of the Oakley Financial bldg. I have the turquoise door in a very brown bldg. I am facing Kymera's physicians offices.

I am also listed on the Copic website http://dealer.copicmarker.com/stores so if you can only get here on the web check out this link.

So if you are looking for Copic Sketch markers or anything related to Copics or scrapbooking, come by and check me out.  If I don't have what you need, chances are I can get it.

Hugs,
Delo

Happy Friday!

I just wanted to post a quick note.  I hope to open Behind the Turquoise Door on Monday 6/11.  I have the door painted, my sign will be finished today, my chairs finally arrived, most of my shipments are in (some things are on back order), I am still waiting on my printer and cash box, I still need to get some of my personal things moved and I have to wait until I find out if I have jury duty or not on Monday. All in all I am very pleased with how things are shaping up.
I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful weekend.
Hugs,
Delo

Getting closer and closer!

Today I am at my building painting the door. What color you ask? Turquoise of course!! Things are finally coming together and getting done. I am still waiting on the chairs I ordered so everyone will have a place to sit, I hope they come in this week. I have got several accounts set up with some distributors for paper, adhesives, stamps, ink, cardstock and all of the other things you need for making cards and albums. The backordered items from Imagination International (Copic) will be here Thurs. so my stock of Copics and accessories will be complete. I am not sure when I will get all of the other items but I will open up even if I do not have all of those, since I am primarily a Copic store. I hope everyone had a safe and relaxing Memorial Day weekend. LET THE SUMMER BEGIN!! Hugs, Delo
