Christmas Gift Class November 28, 29 and December 1

I hope you can join me for some cute stocking stuffers, mini gifts and gift card holders as we get in the holiday spirit with Hot Cocoa, muffins and Christmas music!  I'm offering 3 choices of day and time this year, but class is one week earlier.

You'll choose only the items YOU would like to make from a variety of choices. You might enjoy: Snowman Soup, M & M tubes, gift card holders, lip balm holders and more. 

Please let me know your choices as soon as possible because I may need to order some things for the class.

December Technique Class and Stamp Club

Join me on Thursday, December 6 at 6:30 p.m. or Friday, December 7 at noon. Please let me know if you are able to make it or not by Tuesday at 7 p.m. I'd love to see you all here!

$10 for 4 projects or free for 6 month/$25 stamp club members or with a $50 order. Only $5 with a $25 order as well...


First, is this torn edges card. I got the idea from my friend and stampin' idol, Janine Tinklenberg...Her card was a one-layer card with masking, but I love torn edge snow, so I did it this way.

 

Next is this Alcohol Reinker form of Emboss Resist. This was a lot of fun---I hope you like it too.

 

I loved a very similar card to this by my friend Kim Bolzenthal, so I changed it from Soft Suede to Cherry Cobbler and simplified it just a bit by using four punched images instead of three slightly taller images. I hope you like it!

We will also make an easel card with a small 2013 calendar on it.

 

Christmas Stamp A Stack #3 November 15th and 16th

I hope you'll be able to join me on November 15 or 16 for Christmas Stamp A Stack #3! As usual, Thursday at 6:30 or Friday at noon are our meeting times. Just let me know if you need a Saturday option, and I hope you find some cards in this batch that you like.

Stamp A Stack events are 16 cards for $22, and you'll need to provide your choices (Please use the bolded name I used above each card.) with your RSVP by Tuesday, October 16th at 7:00 p.m. Please plan to make at least 3 of each card you want to make.

Prepayment is required for a Stamp A Stack, so you will need to pay even if something comes up unforeseen for this class as I will have already cut paper and supplies for your cards. (There will be a time for you to come stamp them before Christmas-we can work it out.)

The cards include minimal bling, so you may want to purchase an extra pack of bling...You might also want to bring your envelopes (or order ahead for the nice quality Stampin' Up! ones) and stamp them to match your cards...

Come to Bethlehem in Purples

Cherry Collage (Please note: we will make this card at December Stamp Club)

Shimmer Ornament

Ornament Class Saturday, November 10th at 10:00 a.m.

 I'm offering a new class this year specifically for the ornaments made with the ornament die.  It will be on Saturday, November 10th at 10:00 a.m.  If that time doesn't work for you let me know--I may be able to move the class to a different day and time.

This is the most difficult ornament which uses the Candlelight Christmas Specialty Desinger Series Paper. We will use two of the sheets of paper for the class, and you can use the remainder for other projects and scrapbooking.  You will also get a bottle of Green Glue the liquid MonoMulti glue.  The class fee is $25, and includes the remainder of the supplies that you need for the ornaments as shown. We'll listen to Christmas music and have hot cocoa and cookies for this event.

We'll stamp this ornament:

This simple ornament is shiny and sweet.

This woven background card uses the MOJO397 sketch.

I saw this on Pinterest, and thought it would be fun to add to the inside.

These Ascending Rectangle cards are everywhere, so I thought we might as well make one too! :) I read Lyssa Zwolanek's tutorial for size instructions.  Thanks Lyssa!

 

Our last fall card uses the Tweet Leaves stamp and the Core'dinations Cardstock with sanding block.

Christmas Stamp A Stack #1 September 20th or 21st

I hope you'll be able to join me next week for our first Christmas Stamp A Stack of the year!  As usual, Thursday at 6:30 or Friday at noon.  Just let me know if you need a Saturday option.

Stamp A Stack events are 16 cards for $22, and you'll need to provide your choices (Please use the bolded name I used above each card.) with your RSVP by Tuesday, September 18th at 7:00 p.m.

Prepayment is required for a Stamp A Stack, so you will need to pay even if something comes up unforeseen for this class as I will have already cut paper and supplies for your cards. (There will be a time for you to come stamp them before Christmas-we can work it out.)

The cards include minimal bling, so you may want to purchase an extra pack of bling...You might also want to bring your envelopes (or order ahead for the nice quality Stampin' Up! ones) for stamping to match the card....especially if you do the snowflake card.  I really like that look.

Gatefold Red Ornament
I think you can see that this card is a gatefold since I had to use my pointer finger to keep it flat for the picture. :)

Blue Snowflake MOJO258

 

 

No longer available due to designer series paper

 

 

 

Holly Peace **

 

**Please note that the pearls at the bottom of the card can not be used if you plan to mail conventionally with one 44 cent stamp, and they would probably tear the envelope when put through the sorting machines.  You may also want to move your Peace sentiment to the bottom left corner, but you can decide that when you are making the card.

 

 

 PineWood Rustic

 

If you prefer, you may also do a couple as birthday cards with the Happy Birthday sentiment and no Riding Hood Red Scalloped edge.

 

 

September FrankenFlowers Technique Class and Stamp Club

September FRANKENFLOWERS Technique Class and Stamp Club Meeting
$10 for 4 projects or free for 6 month/$25 stamp club members or with a $50 order.
Thursday, September 4th at 6:30 p.m. or Friday, September 5th at noon....Join us for lots of Halloween fun and projects!

We'll make this Frankie card using the Googly Ghouls set with the Howlstooth and Scaringbone Tangerine Tango and Basic Black stripe designer series paper.  The top is a green woodgrain from the Orchard Harvest designer series paper.

 

This fun little Frank has PURSE-onality (bad I know!)...He was designed by my friend, Missi Roeber. She won a Stampin' Up! contest for her awesome idea! (She also made pumpkin and bat treat holder purses.)

 

 

Our third Frank is this grey 6X6 scrapbook page.....It uses the Basic Gray and Basic Black striped ribbon which I love. Since I will place this on a 12X12 page for scrapbooking, I elevated the BOO.  I think it looks cute on a plate holder for the season. I will put a Halloween picture from a previous year in it to display. (Frank isn't glued so that he can be placed in relation to the picture.

 

 

Finally, we'll make this Christmas card which uses the Christmas Blessings Set and sponging with Champagne Shimmer Paint.

 

You'll have to come to class to know what the fourth Frank is. :)
