Clear Christmas Cards in a Box Class

Hello December!!!  Can't believe that this is my first post in December.  I had been sooo very busy the last few weeks trying to finish up all my Stamp Club Meetings and classes early so that I can tend to personal stuff before Christmas is here.  So, Friday was my last club meeting and now I am able to post again. 

Today I want to share with you the Clear Christmas Cards in a Box Class that I offered the last week of November.  It was a big hit!  I was actually so surprised at how many people signed up to take the class.  The class comes with 6 Clear Cards, 6 matching envelopes and the box.  I charged $25 for the class if it was pre-paid or $30 at the door.   Just a warning...this post will be picture heavy so keep scrolling down!

I used the Treat Box that you can find on the Clearance Rack, cut the top off and made the lid for it using cardstock and Letters To Santa Designer Series Paper.

I used the Window Sheets for the cards and also taught different techniques like how to color the rhinestones, dry embossing with the Big Shot, Embossing with the heat gun, using Smooch spray, distressing and a lot of other cool stuff.  

I am taking a break from classes in December but will be back for more classes in January.  Hope you like what I shared with you today!

Thank You

This is a card that I made last year around Thanksgiving that I had forgotten to share here on my blog.  Since the stamp set I used is still current, I thought it would be nice to share.

I want to wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving!  This year, I am thankful for my family, good health and great friends.  I feel blessed and I hope I can be a blessing to someone else too in my own little way.

Thanksgiving Wreath

Today's project is a labor of love.  My friend and I got together to re-create the wreath from the Holiday Mini Catalog and what we thought was an easy project to do, turned out to be a 4 day project, well, at least 4 hours per day.  I love love love the way it turned out though and I am glad that I had a friend to craft with while making this project because I probably would have given up finishing it if I was doing it by myself.

Like I said on my last post, I have been using the Spice Cake Designer Series Paper a lot lately and this is another project made with it.  I think this is the first time I have used a DSP this much.  I usually just hoard them :-)

 

Of course I had to put my own touch to my wreath so I put some butterflies all over it.  I really love the way it turned out.  I hope you do too!

Simply Scored Class

Last month, I offered my customers a deal for a Simply Scored Class.  If they bought the Simply Scored from me, the class fee was only for $5 (just to cover supplies) but if they weren't interested in buying the Simply Scored and still wanted to take the class, the fee was $12.  I had a few people take me up on my offer and today I want to share with you the cards that we made at the class.

I am currently IN LOVE with the Spice Cake Designer Series Paper from the Holiday Mini Catalog and I just can't stop using it.  I am also loving the Pool Party and Soft Suede colors.  I think they are soooo pretty!  I got the card idea with the Dahlia Fold from Stampin' Connection and the step cards were my original design.  The Step Cards are 3x3 cards and having the Simply Scored Tool just made it soooo easy to make.  I also used a whole lot of Basic Pearls for these cards.  They just made the cards look a little more elegant.

Supplies Used For This Project:

Paper: Pool Party, Soft Suede, Pear Pizzazz, More Mustard, Very Vanilla Cardstock and Spice Cake Designer Series Paper

Ink:  Pool Party, Soft Suede and More Mustard

Accessories:  Simply Scored Scoring Tool, Big Shot Machine, Finial Press Embossing Folder, Paper Cutter, Modern Label Punch, Word Window Punch, 1" Circle Punch, 3/4" Circle Punch, 1 3/4" Circle Punch, 1/2" Circle Punch, Circle Punch from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack, Victoria 5/8" Crochet Trim Ribbon, Basic Pearls, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Snail Adhesive and Stampin' Dimensionals

Stamp Sets:  Teeny Tiny Wishes and It's A Wrap Holidays

Case-ing Twila Davis

I want to share with you a CASE of a card that I received as a swap from my friend and  fellow Ustamp Designer Twila Davis.  I had the chance to meet her at the Stampin' Up Convention in July and she is such a sweet and awesome person.  She is so talented and I love all her projects.  If you get a chance, please visit her blog and check out her stuff!

 

 

The only thing I changed about Twila's original card was the popped up butterfly and the greeting in the middle.  Other than that, I left everything just the way she originally designed it.  I used this card for one of my clubs in July.

Paper: Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Certainly Celery, Marina Mist, Whisper White

Accessories:  Big Shot Machine, Square Lattice Embossing Folder, Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder, Butterfly Punch, Large Oval Punch, Certainly Celery 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon (Retired), Basic Rhinestones, Snail Adhesive and Stampin' Dimensionals
