Lots of Cheer card

Here's one of the cards we're making at my Christmas cards class tomorrow and next week Wednesday too.  It features the cute Lots of Cheer Christmas stamp set from the Annual Catalog.  

My colors are Balmy Blue, Cherry Cobbler, Black and White.  The Stitched Nested Label dies add a fun twist to this simple card.  The snowman image is colored in with Blends markers.  The Balmy Blue strip is textured with the Swirls & Curls embossing folder.  

They're making three each of four different cards.  Here are the rest of them:

If you're interested in the written pdf tutorial you can get that here.  OR get the actual pre-cut cards kit in the mail; I have three left here. 

Have a fabulous weekend; I hope you save some time to stamp!

Feels Like Frost; September's Cards kit to go

I'm super excited about this month's cards kit to go.  It features the absolutely gorgeous Feels Like Frost specialty designer series paper on page 42 of the Holiday catalog. See it here. I couldn't wait to use it!  

Isn't it amazing?!  It features photographic imagery on one side and hand drawn designs on White with silver foil on the other.  It has 12 designs and you receive 4 of each one for a total of 48 sheets in 6" X 6" size.  

Here are the 10 cards I designed for this months pre-cut cards kit to go. 

I used the Frosted Foliage stamp set and dies bundle (seen here) for many of the cards.  It's 10% off if you purchase the bundle.  You can substitute any stamps you like but if you choose to get the bundle to go with the kit I'm offering it for an additional 10% off!  

The kit includes $20 in product (before tax & shipping) including the following:

• a pre-cut kit for 10 cards including all pre-cut and die-cut pieces
• 1/2 package of the 6 X 6" Feels Like Frost Specialty Designer Series Paper
• 1/2 full spool of the 3/8" metallic ribbon
• the new Shimmery Crystal Effects
• 1 spool White twine
• A complete written pdf tutorial with photos, directions, measurements and supplies list (sent via email)
• It does not include stamped images or jewels like rhinestones. 

I used the Frosted Foliage stamp set and dies bundle on most of these cards.  But you can easily substitute your own greetings and images to finish these cards. 

 

***RSVP to receive this product based kit to go by September 20th by paying with the link below.  The cost with Priority Shipping is $35.  For locals it's $28.  The kits are ready to go out at the end of each month.

Christmas cards classes with a kit to go or tutorial options!

Are you starting to think about Christmas yet?  I know some people start VERY EARLY!  When it comes to making Christmas cards it's best to start early, especially if you need to make a bunch to give or mail out.  
I start my Christmas card classes in September and run them through early December.  At each class I offer a group of 4 cards and they make 3 of each of them.  Here's the first batch for September's classes:

Aren't they great?!  (If I do say so myself!)  I am pretty fussy about the projects I made at my events.  I have to love them or I'm just not satisfied.  

The class dates are September 14th at 1:30 pm and the 18th at 6 pm.  Cost is $25 and includes stamped envelopes.  

For the first time I am also offering this class as a 'kit to go' for those who cannot be here at my class in Minot, ND.  I hear from many of you that wish you could attend my local classes.  Now there's a way to accommodate you, as well as I can that is.  

****This kit is available on my Tutorial Shop here while supplies last.  The cost is $25 plus $8 for priority shipping.

These kits to go are available to locals and long distance customers and include the following:  Pre-cut cards, die-cut, textured and punched pieces, ribbons, designer paper and envelopes.  (They do not include stamped images per SU policy or jewels such as pearls or rhinestones.) You'll also receive the written tutorial that includes photos, measurements, a supplies list and step by step directions.  

If you just want the written pdf tutorial here's the link to that.
