Christmas Card Club 2012

Who is thinking about Christmas yet?! Well, I am! Each year in early December, I aspire to send handmade Christmas cards to all of my family and friends. Without a doubt, I never succeed! Making beautiful hand crafted cards can be time consuming and December is usually crazy enough as it is. So, this year I am trying a new approach. I am going to start making my Christmas cards in July and I would love you all to join me! I will be starting a Christmas card club with our first meeting at the end of July. We will meet the 4th Monday of each month in July, August, September, October and November. At each meeting, we will create 8 beautiful Christmas cards. This will give you a total of 40 cards handmade by you and ready to be mailed out in early December! Following are the nitty gritty details:

 
What you will receive: materials and instruction to complete 8 handmade Christmas cards and 8 coordinating envelopes 
When: First Monday of each month
Where: My house on Vermontstrasse on Patch; Bldg 2504, Apt B2
Cost: $12 a month which totals $60 for five months OR $50 for five months when you pay upfront

RSVP: by the second Monday of the month. This is essential as I sometimes need to order extra supplies for a class. I will send out a reminder email each month. 

Our first meeting will be on Monday, July 23. That means I need to know if you plan to join us by Monday, July 9. If this sounds like something you are interested in, please let me know!

Handmade Holiday

Starting tomorrow through December 16, Stampin' Up! is offering several bundles at a discounted price. All of these bundles can be used to create beautiful handmade gifts for the holidays including jewelry, picture frames, handmade packaging and of course, cards!

Scallop Oval Punch + Christmas DSP = Delight!

Christmas Card Buffet

I know a lot of people feel they missed out on the creative bug when they were created. However, there is something about Christmas that brings out that creativity in almost all of us! It is so special to be able to give a card to someone you made with your own two hands.
For this holiday season, I am going to be holding a Christmas Card Buffet. At this class, you will be able to choose from several card designs and craft them yourself. While all the details are still being hammered out, below you will see a preview of your choices. What type of Christmas card is your favorite? Are you a traditional gal? Do you prefer modern and funky design? Whatever your style, making cards for your loved ones is an excellent way to unleash that creativity!
