December Stamp Club - Sign Up NOW!

Wow!  Christmas is just around the corner.  During December, we will continue making Christmas cards, but if you have some other needs, you can adjust the designs to suit what works for you.

Here are the options for cards we will be making. I will be posting more information about each design in coming days, but wanted you to see what I am offering. The class includes ONE of each of the card designs that I am showing - but you have options based on your needs.



The photo of the two cards above coordinates with the photos to the right and below - showing that they actually opens up to a shadow box on the inside!

More cards will be shown after the details of the classes!

December classes will meet on the following dates - all meeting in my home craft studio in Prescott Valley, AZ. If you are out of the area or can't make one of the days, I can prepare a pre-stamped kit with photo/video instructions for you to assemble at home (shipping also available).

Thursday, December 6
Saturday, December 8
Monday, December 10
Wednesday, December 12

All classes start at 9:30 am and run until early afternoon - mostly because of the social time we all enjoy!!!!

 This card uses the beautiful Sugarplum cardstock - the Color of the Year from Close to My Heart.  In addition, silver embossing has been added to the cardstock, and a die has been cut from silver foil paper and backed with a white shadow.

It is so special to get a card in the mail instead of an electronic message.  I love this "Old School Text" stamp set, and have adapted it for both Christmas and Valentine's Day.  In addition to the stamp set, I used the new Decorative Border Dies to give it the look of coming out of a spiral notebook!  You can see the inside of these cards on the right.

Hope you can join us for one of these classes.  It would be great to have you!

Cathedral Window Christmas Card

Recreating quilt patterns on paper is really fun.  The cathedral window pattern is beautiful, and pretty easy to put together.  On top of it, what a great way to use up your scraps!

For this card, I used the 'Tis the Season papers from Close to My Heart.  I love the bold traditional colors in these papers.  Since all papers from CTMH are double-sided, I selected four pieces of paper plus the cardstock.  Mixing up the papers from your stash would create a wonderful design as well!

I created a video showing the process for creating this card, and variations you can use.  

I hope you find it helpful if you want to try this.

The beautiful sentiment used on this card is from the new stamp set from Close to My Heart -

Christmas Blessings (CC12181)

I used the new Candy Apple Red (Z6509) and Fern (Z2850) stamp pads.

Thanks for stopping by my little corner of blog land.  Have a great week!
