My name is Brandi Rush and I am a teacher for the Poppy Seed Projects Temple and Family Portrait classes. On this blog you will find information about how to host your own class and earn FREE PICTURES!
All 4 projects shown on this blog can be made at your class and apply to your hostess benefits!
HOSTESS BENEFITS:
As a thank you for hosting a class, you get 10% of the total sales to be put towards any picture(s) of your choice! For example:
15 pictures = 1 free picture, and 1 picture at 50% off
20 pictures = 2 free pictures
32 pictures = three free pictures, and one at 20% off
As a bonus, you will also receive a $10 gift card to Poppy Seed Projects if anyone at your class books a class of their own! **Redeemable once their class has occurred. Please let me know if you are booking a class from someone's class or your hostess may not receive her gift card.
In striving to comply with church rules, hostess benefits DO NOT apply to ward sponsored activities, but we do offer ONE free picture to the person who scheduled the class and collected the orders, as long as it is approved by their ward first!
PROJECT #1 Temple Portraits
PROJECT #2 Family Portraits
When finished, the Temple and Family portraits are 26” x 32” (POSTER SIZE) and the cost is $57 (including tax and shipping). This includes the frame and all the supplies you will need to make the pictures! These take 2 to 2 1/2 hours to complete.
Here is a general overview of the process:
1. Paint the pieces of the frame black
(Participants are welcome to bring another color if they choose – we use interior latex, satin finish).
2. Glue the print (or matting for the Family Portrait) to a wood board.
3. For a Family Portrait we then glue the 11 x 14 picture you bring with you and apply the vinyl of
your choosing.
4. Apply a gallery style, glassless finish to the print.
5. Construct the frame and attach it to the print.
We walk you through the process step-by-step, and do our best to make sure everyone loves their picture and has a good time making it!
The temples we offer can all be viewed on the left side of this page and are listed alphabetically.
Samples of our Family Portrait project can be viewed on the right side of this page.
Make sure to scroll down to see all the projects we offer!
In order to finish during the class, make sure you arrive on time. You can complete two pictures in the time frame of the class – but if you are doing more than two, you will need to make arrangements to pick up your frames in advance (if available) or bring along someone to help.
PROJECT #3: Picture Plaques
Picture Plaques (shown below the Family Portraits on right) are wood plaques that are routered around the edges which you will paint in class. As with the Temple and Family portraits, I provide black paint, if you would like another color please bring it with you. You provide an 11 x 14 or 12 x 12 picture which will then be cropped to 10 1/2 x 10 1/2 (we have a template) and mounted on the wood and then you apply our texture cream which gives it either a linen or canvass finish - depending on your preference.
The cost for these is $13.50 each including tax and shipping.
PROJECT #4 Greg Olsen Picture Plaques
For a limited time only, we are offering Greg Olsen prints, five to choose from, to be mounted on our Picture Plaques. The assemble is the same as with our Picture Plaques (see above) but the price for this project because we provide the picture is $17.50 which includes tax and shipping. These projects may be viewed below the classic Picture Plaques.
I teach occasional classes at the Logan Hobby Lobby located at 1575 N. Main St. but I do most of my teaching at classes hosted by individuals just like you! Click on the page link above for information about the Hobby Lobby Classes.
FOR ALL CLASSES I NEED THE ORDER AND MONEY NO LATER THAN TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE DATE OF THE CLASS! A travel fee applies to all classes 30 minutes or more from my home and varies according to distance.
