2017 Christmas Cardmaking Class with Krista :)


Our ANNUAL Christmas Card making day  is now called a Christmas Cardmaking Class  


I am EXCITED about this year’s event – as I will be running things a bit differently this year!

2016-9-24 Christmas Cardmaking Day - cards in afternoon  DSC_2922

I know many of you were hoping the Christmas Card Day would continue, & I enjoy this day so much, that I couldn’t quite let it go either…so we will try a NEW way to create Christmas Cards together this year!!
 
We will be turning this into a Christmas Cardmaking Class! 



This event will take place on Sat., September 23rd  and you will choose 1 of  2 times to come join me! Would you prefer to create your Christmas Cards in the morning or afternoon?


Our morning class will run from 8:30am-11:30am and the afternoon class will do from 1pm-4pm, Which one works best for you?



Come join me for a day of teaching and FUN as we create Christmas Cards together using our BRAND NEW stamp sets from the 2017-2018 Annual Inspirations Idea Book! The plan will be to create 8-10 cards during our time together.

Here we go!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today I will be sharing a set of three cards I created, using NEW PRODUCTS from this GORGEOUS, New Idea Book!  

Take a look....



I used the floral designer paper from our BRAND NEW Whimsy Fundamentals for the base part of these cards.  By adding some black cardstock & coloring in these flowers with our wonderful ShinHan alcohol markers, they turned out to be some beautiful cards!! 

Feel free to CLICK HERE to check out all of the patterns in our NEW Whimsy Fundamentals palette!  I love the new feature on our websites, where each individual paper in a paper collection is shown!


On this 3 card collection, I used a NEW stamp set called "Happily Ever After".  


What a PERFECT stamp set for celebrating the joyous occasion of getting married!  I was excited how these flowers turned out...I don't see myself as a very good colorer, but really liked these purple hues! 

Also - I know I'll be using the word "Celebrate" for more than just weddings....recently, I stamped this word on a birthday card too! :) 


I also wanted to use our NEW "Color of the Year" color...Bashful in this project.  Take a peek on this "Best wishes" card, I used the Bashful Glitter paper, as well as the Bashful pearls!  Hooray for a NEW Color Of The Year! 



The final close up of this card, there isn't much to say ;)....it's just a simple card.  I chose to use different embellishments for all 3 cards...just to be different :).  This card uses our Gold Glitter Gems. 




I hope you enjoyed this card, and were INSPIRED today!! :) 
Now it's time to "Hop" on over to Janna's  Blog to see her beautiful creation!
