Christmas Card Making Class

Crafters start planning for Christmas early......so you could say I am a bit behind with it nearly being August!!However, inspired by my Stampin'Up! colleagues I am running a monthly Christmas Card Making class this August, then in September, October and November.  In each class we will be making 8 Christmas Cards ( 2 each of 4 designs plus envelopes) so if you want to attend all 4 you would have 32 handmade cards by November.   Each class is £10 to include materials and refreshments.   These are the cards we will be making in August using the Delightful Decorations and Contempo Christmas Sets

 I will use different stamp sets for each class. Please email me if interested and I can let you know times/venue , my lovely crafty ladies are booking up fast!

Christmas Training Swaps...in July!

Yesterday was our quarterly Team Meeting in Peterborough, and our theme as it's July was Christmas!!  As daft as it may sound to non crafters, if you are making all your Christmas Cards, it is nice to have an early start to them.  I really look forward to these meetings where I meet up with fellow demonstrators who are so inspiring and lovely, and so very generous in allowing you to share their ideas. We take with us 'swaps' so that we can share our projects and as promised I would like to share mine with you.

 I made 43 like these, using the Jolly Holiday Designer Papers, and Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive Card Stock , the stamp used on the outside is from the 'Winter Post' Set.

 A closer peak at the little card holder...........

Opened up, you will see the slot, punched with the 'Word Window' punch, measured to take a standard gift card.  Decorations on the inside stamped from the 'Winter Post' and 'Season of Joy' set.
I had such fun making these, and they can easily be adapted for any other special occasion or birthday whether it be male/female or childrens.   I am now inspired by other ideas which I will hope to incorporate into my Christmas classes.....hope to be back soon.

Hi, Sorry for the delay in posting...I have been busy preparing class kits and then my swaps for our up and coming 'Passionettes' meeting in Peterborough!  I am really looking forward to seeing my fellow demos and swapping ideas, our theme is Christmas in July, so that should be fun.  In the meantime a very quick post with a little scrapbook that I have made using the lovely SpringtimeVintage papers from the current mini, teamed with the seam binding ribbon and some jumbo eyelets. Card stock is Rose Red and Certainly Celery. The idea was cased from You Tube, so credit goes to the lovely Laura who came up with the original. However here is my quick version.

I love the fact that it will take 4 tags that you could put photos or messages on, yet still fit in an envelope!
