Christmas Card classes are starting in September!

I know it seems early to start on Christmas cards but I have many people that start them way before this.  I am definitely NOT ready for summer to be over!  I want to hang on as long as I can!

I hold two Christmas Class sessions per month from September through early December.  I know many of you wonder how I can do this during Covid-19 but my classes are not large so there can be quite a bit of space between people.  And masks are encouraged.  

Here are my first set of cards for September's classes:

Sept cards Save

I'm featuring the Snowflake Wishes bundle, the Tree Angle stamp set & Triangle dies, the Evergreen Forest embossing folder & Toille Christmas and lastly the Merry Moose bundle.  

They'll make 3 of each card with coordinating stamped envelopes for a total of 12 cards per class.  Most people come to all 4 month's of classes and end up with 48 beautiful Christmas cards ready for addressing.  

Sept cards Save

The class dates are September 12th at 10 am and 16th at 6 pm.  Please RSVP by September 7th to attend.  

If you cannot attend class locally in Minot, ND you can choose to order the pdf tutorial for these cards.  They're designed for both  crafters and for demonstrators to use in their classes. Check it out here.

  • Amazing Bag of Bones Halloween & Pick of the Patch swap cards

    We held our monthly Team swap last weekend and I'm excite to share these amazing swap cards with you.

    First up is a gorgeous card made by Candace that features the Bag of Bones bundle. 

    Sept Candace Them bones Save

    She added a strip of the new Them Bones designer paper seen here to her Cajun Craze textured layer (Exposed Brick) and created the gorgeous blended background circles for her skeletons. I believe she used Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry and Starry Sky and blending brushes.  

    Her skeletons were heat embossed with White powder on Black cardstock, then die-cut with the Bag of Bones dies.  The bats on the yellow moon are die-cuts from this same bundle. 

    This bundle was out of stock for a bit but it's back now! See it here.

    What a fabulous card! 

    Lastly today is a sweet card by Candace who featured the Pick of the Patch bundle seen here:

    Sept Candy Pick of the Patch Save

    I love her out of the box color choices of Pretty Peacock, Blackberry Bliss and Pumpkin Pie. She used the new Deckled Circle dies for the background of her punched pumpkins.  Her ribbon is new as well – a Vanilla and Black gingham seen here.  

    The photo barely shows off the pretty and new Distressed Tile embossing folder.  It's a new favorite for many!

  • Two Neat Cheerful Daisy Fun Fold cards by Barb

    Barb was our Artist of the Month for my Flowerbug's team in August and made this super neat card with the Fresh as a Daisy designer paper and the Cheerful Daisy bundle seen here.

    August Barb Fresh as a Daisy fold Save

    It uses a long piece of the designer paper, scored and folded to create most of the card.  She cased the idea from Patty Bennett. 

    She added two layers of die-cut daisies to the folds using layered circles as a base for them.  

    Measurements:

    Start out with a 5 1/4" X 12" piece of designer paper and score it at 2", 4" and 6".  Adhere the paper together on the score lines. Then add to a full card base measuring 4 1/4" X 5 1/2".  Now embellish with your die-cuts or punches, layering them in different heights.

    The inside has a die-cut from the Scalloped Contours dies.  

    Next is a beautiful Double-Decker fun fold card featuring Blueberry Bushel and White.  

    August Barb Cheerful Daisies double pop up Save

    I made a card like this on a recent video; see it here.  

    This card looks a bit intimidating – at least it did to me – until I tried one.  It's actually quite easy.  

    August Barb double pop up Save

    Measurements:

    • Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"
    • White front 2 1/2" X 3 1/2", die-cut scalloped rectangle 3 1/8" X 4 3/8" finished, front texture 1 7/8" X 5 1/4" 
    • White box for double-decker 2 1/2" X 3 1/2" score every 3/4" and form into a box 
    • Blueberry Bushel 2 3/4" X 3 3/4"
    • DSP 4" X 5 1/4"
