In this workshop we will be making 5 hand stamped cards with envelopes.
We will be using different techniques and embellishments such as Nestabilities, Copic Markers, paper glaze, snow markers, stickles, paper flowers, and more.
Class Dates:
The gift card sale is running Monday, December 5th thru Saturday, December 10th.
Last year's cocoa & a card was a real hit so I am doing it again if you missed out!
Stop by anytime during the week of December 5th - 10th on the hours posted below:
This is a new Changito monkey stamp for Christmas, I couldn't resist using him in our card class this year!
This stamp is perfect for adding embellishments to. I put the snow marker on his hat and glossy glaze on the light bulbs to make them shine. (Hard to tell in the photo...)
Of coarse, he needed the perfect sentiment to go inside!
Leanne made this very pretty Christmas card with one of the newer embossing folders in this year. If you use the "core" paper you can sand it to show the color underneath. 
These are 2 more of the cards that Rose and I made at last Sunday's Christmas card class. I love the look of elegant snowflakes.
This one used a set of snowflake dies from My Favorite Things. Its hard to tell in the photo, but the colors are light blue and navy... (sort of looks like black).
We popped up the lighter ones and added some sparkly gems.
This one uses a stamp set with 3 jumbo snowflakes. Again, navy blue, light blue, and white. The top layer is popped up to look more dimensional.
This is the reindeer card we are making at the card making class on November 20th. I just love this stamp because he is so whimsical looking without being too girly. The little red gem on his nose adds just the right touch.
I give quite a few gift cards around the holidays, but always feel like the presentation is a little lacking. 
Once you stamp your image, use the coordinating die to perfectly cut it out.
I really love this background stamp and have wanted to make something with it for a long time. I pulled out my Versamark pad which was also collecting dust! The Versamark pad leaves a watermark effect if you arent using it to heat emboss with. In this case it makes it look like I stamped the grass in all 3 colors.
Learn how to make this 4x4 mini book for Christmas.
All the pages fold up to fit inside...
...but stretch open to be viewed.
There are lots of hidden tags, brads, ribbons, and sparkly gems added to this project! We will also be doing a little stamping and some die cutting for this too.
This Theo stamp from Stamping Bella is another card we will be making at the Christmas card class at my shop. He's such an adorable bear, and I love being able to use the masking technique. His sack (green polka dot) is the reverse side of the plaid paper used on the bottom of the card.
The fuzzy on his Santa suit is the new Ultra Fine Flower Soft. This product is perfect for anything Christmas or snowy.
I was so glad to see My Favorite Things come out with a Die-Namics set that had number dies!
This stamp/die set has 6 clear stamps with it that you can use to give your numbers a "print". The music notes were perfect for this specific card. There are also words that will let you spell out different phrases, such as "you're 2 cute", "Happy ___ Anniversary", "Look who's turning ___", "Class of ___", and more...
Card class #2 is a regular style card class at my shop.
You will be making 5 cards with envelopes (different cards from the above class #1) for $15.
Class Dates:
I know I've posted cards before using the Pumpkin Spice die cut, but its one of my all-time favorites. Not to mention that Cuttlebug quit making it years ago, but I was able to find a supplier that still had a few left. 
After Tyler saw this Snoopy card he really wanted to give one to his 1st grade teacher. Besides Snoopy being on it, I think he liked the Flower Soft (autumn) on the leaf pile.
I also wanted to have him give her a little treat with the card for Halloween. I just got in a bunch of the SRM tubes and clear stickers. These stickers are see-through so you can decorate the tubes and still see what is inside.
The tubes come in 3 sizes...
It seems Riley the Moose can do almost anything... they must have 200 different stamps of him doing anything you can think of. I've been getting more in each week to add a little variety.
These are just a few of their dimensional embellishments, so cute and easy!
Doodle Twine has been arriving too, there are single colors and assorted sets.
I've been ordering in some cute Riley the Moose stamps for fall. I have been mixing them with some of the words from the Pure Innocence little girl stamps.
Here are a few of the Fall and Thanksgiving ones.
