Sally Penley Mini Masterpieces Class on Zoom!

 

Sally Penley is bringing back the Mini Masterpieces class on Zoom!! The workshop for this popular and fun, 5-layer process for creating little art masterpieces will be held on Saturday, October 17. These are great for holiday cards! Participants will receive 6 card masters for displaying their little gems. No art experience necessary. 

Hey, this is Dianne, and you may know, this class is my favorite class ever. I have made MANY cards using my Mini Masterpieces that I learned how to make from Sally. If you have not taken this class, please consider doing so. I recently took a book class from her on Zoom and absolutely loved it! Also, I do recommend if you don’t have all the materials you need for the class, definitely consider paying the $20 extra (plus postage) for her to send them to you. It’s very worthwhile. Check out the information on this flyer.

You can also die cut your Mini Masterpieces, as I love to do! For lots of examples of Mini Masterpieces on my blog, click here and please scroll down. Here's one of my favorites. You will not regret taking this class.

Sally Penley Classes Including Mini Masterpieces!

Hi everyone! Even though Art 'n Soul is closed, we still want to let you know about some amazing classes here in Olympia. If you are local to Olympia, or can travel here, Sally Penley has a fabulous roster of classes coming up. She is a super talented graphic artist who has been doing beautiful calligraphy for over 40 years. Sally teaches at her studio in downtown Olympia at Bucks 5th Avenue Loft and Gallery at 209 5th Ave SE, Olympia.

Did you see our post with the fabulous Mini Masterpiece cards and using the gorgeous Sally Penley calligraphy stamps? If not, you can see it here. Sally has a class coming up this Sunday, August 26, showing how to make those Mini Masterpieces, and if you have never taken a class from Sally, then you owe it to yourself to do so. If you have taken a class from her, then you know how good they are. Sally taught at Art 'n Soul a number of times, and we highly recommend her classes. 

Here is Sally's upcoming schedule of classes. She also has an amazing class called Fun with Sumi coming up on Thursday the 30th. You don't have to already know how to do these things, Sally will show you, and you will have a fabulous time.

If you are interested in any of Sally's classes, you can email her at sally.pen@me.com and she will send you a flyer and sign up form for whichever class you are interested in. Treat yourself! You will be glad you did.

Magenta New Collection with Calligraphy Stamps by Sally Penley

I am so thrilled to tell you that the new Magenta Autumn-Christmas collection is available at their online store. You can access the collection here and you can click on Stamps or Stencils to view the new products. You will want to look at all of them because there are lots of great new stamps AND stencils in this release.

Not all of the stamps and stencils in this release are just for Autumn and Christmas either! There are a lot of things that you can use year-round, like many of the great calligraphy stamps by Sally Penley. Sally is a graphic designer with a BFA in Design. She has been doing beautiful calligraphy for 40 years, and she is graciously sharing some of her work with us in the form of rubber stamps. Now the many of us who cannot pen these words so beautifully on our own can at least purchase her stamps and use them to make amazing cards.

One of the other artists who has designs in this release is Ellie Knol, a Dutch designer who has been on the Magenta design team for many years. Some of my very favorite stamps were designed by Ellie. In this release, she has some beautiful flowers (daisy and rose) in two sizes, and a fabulous new floral background stamp that you will love. There are also new designs from Helene and Nathalie Metivier, who have designed for Magenta from the beginning, and have some really beautiful new designs for you. You are going to love this release!
