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!

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 23^rd  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. 

 

Attendees: Please bring along adhesives – your “regular” papercrafting glue…plus foam dots (3d foam tape), glue dots, etc…or I will have these items available for purchase if you need to purchase them.  You can also pack your “normal” scrapbooking items…scissors, ruler, pencil, paper piercer, etc.

****Another NEW SPECIAL – just for those that come to Christmas Card Day…

There will be a Mystery Hostess drawing for those in attendance that day!!

 For every $25 in product that is ordered, in the morning or afternoon, you will earn a ticket!!! 

PLUS….there will be other ways to earn tickets too (purchasing stamp of the months = 3 tickets, Sept special = 5 tickets, etc) !!

 

Then, on Monday, Sept 25 (once everyone has had a chance to decide on their goodies), we’ll be pulling names for winners to receive $30 of FREE CTMH goodies!!! Yes – there can (and most

likely WILL) be more than ONE $30 winner!!  The more tickets that are entered, the more people will WIN CTMH products!

Find ALL the details of this special day below….oR head on over to my FB event page…

Please send your registration form ASAP,  OR contact me directly if it is the week of the actual event.  

I may be able to take some last minute people!  

See you soon!!

Christmas Cardmaking Day 2016

Christmas Cardmaking Day is ALWAYS a day we look forward to – and this year was no exception!  

We had a smaller amount of people this year – so we decided to try something new!  Instead of going throughout your day with a “group” of ladies and rotating table to table….we decided to make it a “go at your own pace” type of day.  The results were tremendous & it looks like this is now the preferred way to create Christmas Cards on this special day.  

The day always begins when you register, and then pick up your goodie bag filled with some treasures.  This bag is the perfect spot to hold all of your cards you create throughout the day…but it also includes some goodies inside!  

We always include Cricut cuts from our NEWEST Cricut collection!  For this year, this means we were featuring the Flower Market Cricut Collection.  Oh – what FUN!! Inside the Designer paper bags, we had one of our NEW Christmas Overlays, a jingle bell, some sparkles and more!

Here’s a picture of the Cricut cut goodies that were inside their bags.  Notice the 3x3 card – that was to be created sometime throughout the day as time allowed.

Next, after recieving the goodie bag – you would head over to the “Tag making Table” to create a tag of your choice.  Jodi created the variety of tags to choose from, and used our new stamp set “Perfect Presents” in creating them!  These tags also helped us distinquish between our tote bags throughout the day.

There’s always a breakfast cake, donuts & coffee to start our morning off right , and then we have a few announcements to share…and then…

LET the CREATING begin!!

I had 2 fabulous team members help out this day…Jodi Hoover & Kate Fisher.  It was a wonderful day & it worked out so well!!  Thanks to these wonderful ladies for all of their help…we definitely accomplished this day by working together…wahoo!   

Here are the cards we created the first part of our day. 

Jodi, Kate & I all helped in creating these cards!  Our goal is to showcase the newest & greatest that Close To My Heart has to offer.  It’s always so fun to share in the excitement of everyone as we see what FABULOUS products CTMH has brought our way!

To make our morning go smoother – we created these helpful boards to give some tips as the ladies went from table to table. 

I haven’t heard tons of feedback, but I believe these were helpful.   It made the steps of creating a bit easier to follow without a teacher there walking you through step by step.

We had a “harder” card in the morning…I showcased the “new to me” Twist and Pop card…the ladies LOVED it and it really was an “easy” card to make, once we break down the steps on how it’s made. I’ll be showcasing this card in a future blog post.

Of course there were door prizes, and announcements that took place throughout the entire day.

Mid day - we ate our “traditional” lunch of taco soup, with all the fixings and much more. 

It’s always so nice to sit & fellowship with everyone and hear the creative chatter. Then…time to clean up, change over & get ready for the afternoon classes!  

Here are the cards we created during our afternoon session.  We often try and keep these a bit simpler, but still fun & beautiful.

The back left card, with the star – uses the EXCLUSIVE, only available in October – Stamp of the Month from Close To My Heart!  We used our NEW Gold Overlays, and gold heat embossed the star, AND used our new “color of the year” Sea Glass.  If you’d like to see a close up of this card – CLICK HERE.

We had 5 tables to create your cards at this afternoon and some of the ladies finished a bit early.  We had lots of items displayed to browse and see NEW CTMH goodies, and also had a table they could go to, and stamp sentiments in the insides of their cards.

Of course – EVERYONE is excited for the Grand Prize drawing…this year it was Janet!!  Wahoo!

A huge THANK YOU to each of you that joined us in our annual Christmas Cardmaking Day!!  As always, we love to hear your comments & any ideas you may have to improve this event each year! 

Thanks so much & blessings on this day!

Christmas Cardmaking Day - 2015

What a LOVELY day we had, as we had our ANNUAL Christmas Cardmaking Day in Lancaster Co this past Saturday!

My team & I make this a “Customer Appreciation” day, and enjoy treating our customers (really, friends ) extra special this day!!

Everyone received a goodie bag when they arrived….and then headed over to this table to create a TAG for their bag.  These stamped images came from the October Stamp of the Month stamp set – Twinkle. 

Next, they took the rest of their Artistry Cricut cut pieces (see photo below) and stamped some of the images, pieced the other Cricut pieces together to create some GREAT embellishments to use in future crafting! 

Check out the ADORABLE 3x3 card they made with our NEW diffusers that go along with our Embossing folders!!!! 

These NEW GOODIES arrived the week of card day, so I quickly figured out a way to incorporate them into the Christmas Cardmaking Day’s creations. I’m so glad I did – diffusers were new to MANY of our attendees that day!!

There was plenty to see & ooh & ahh over, as they roamed around the room.  We even had some Christmas music playing (until our CD player quit working )

Of course, there was some scrumptious breakfast goodies, drinks,  and candy for anyone to snack on too!!

Then it was time to create!!!  We divided up into 5 different groups, and stayed as a group the entire day. 

There were 6 different stations in the morning, and 6 in the afternoon….meaning there was an “extra” table to head to when you had a few extra moments.  

I’ll show you a QUICK peek of the projects we created in the morning…

We had our “traditional” lunch of homemade taco soup with all the fixings…and of course LOTS of other goodies too   The Pumpkin Torte made by Sheri, is ALWAYS a HUGE hit too!!!

Then we went back to our CRAFTING and enjoyed the rest of our afternoon creating this set of goodies!! 

Each “class” throughout the day lasted 25 minutes, and we were finished our day by 3:15pm.  We appreciate EACH person that joined us for this day and know that it is something everyone looks forward to each year!!

The past two Christmas card days (we’ve had 7 of them!) we also have a table set up in honor of Operation Smile. We as consultants, donate handmade cards and ask the attendees to feel free to donate what they can and 100% of the proceeds go directly to the kids!!

This year we raised $74.50, just through our handmade cards!! 

We also had the current Operation Smile stamp set there, so everyone could see how ADORABLE it was!!  I know I’ve already received an order for that stamp set!  So thankful CTMH is donating $7  to O.S. for EACH of these stamp sets that are purchased!!  Wahoo!!! 

(click on the picture of the stamp set below to get this ADORABLE stamp set, and $7 will go DIRECTLY to the kids at Operation Smile!)

If you like what you see, we’d LOVE to have your join us at NEXT YEAR’s Christmas Cardmaking Day event!! 

We had a new location this year, which would hold a lot more people …so spread the word, bring your friends & mark the down Saturday, Sept 24, 2016 and plan to join us then!! 

If you like what you see, and would like to know what products we used to create these goodies – please CONTACT ME….or feel free to head to my website & browse around at all these FABULOUS, new products that Close To My Heart has…you won’t be disappointed!!

Have a wonderful day & many blessings to each of you!!!
