October’s Christmas Cards Class; or choose the tutorial only.

September 21, 2020

Last week was my first set of Christmas card classes and in 2 weeks will be the second set.

I always enjoy creating the cards for these classes. It can be a challenge to keep them simple but striking! Here's this month's set:

I chose to feature a few new stamp sets or bundles from the 2020 Holiday Catalog.

From top left to bottom right:

Snow Wonder bundle in Misty Moonlight & black
Poinsettia Petals bundle in Real Red & Mossy Meadow
Joyful Holiday with Gleaming Ornaments, Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce & Green Foil paper
Life is Beautiful in Early Espresso & Balmy Blue

Class will be on both October 12th & 16th and we'll make 3 of each card with coordinating envelopes.

If you're not local to Minot, ND you can purchase the pdf tutorial too. Check it out here to see this one and September's too. These tutorials are great for personal use or for class projects too!

All Around Wreath for Christmas

November 10, 2020
Have you noticed the All Around Wreath bundle in the annual catalog? Click here; it's quite the gem! So many occasions are covered in the greetings and die-cuts.

Marilyn made this pretty Christmas themed wreath for our Team Christmas card swap.

She chose to use two shades of green here; Mossy Meadow with Pear Pizzazz along with a few touches of Gold. The pears are heat embossed in Gold powder as well as the shimmery thread.

Other details:
- The greeting is die-cut with the Hippo & Friends dies seen here
- The Vanilla layer is textured with the Pinewood Planks embossing folder
- She used the same wreath die-cut but in two colors, separating them slightly on the card.

Retro style circles layout; super easy! Catch the Live video tonight!

November 9, 2020
Tonight at 7:30 pm Central Time I'm sharing how to make these retro style circle cards on Facebook Live. Click here to join me. You can also see this video below!

Save

Basically you need three sizes of circle dies or punches for the start of this layout. Cut them in half and layer together with the edges meeting on one side. Adhere and add a long greeting between the two.

Watch how on my FB Live replay!

Measurements:
- 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" card base
- 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" Whisper White; the greeting strip is about 5" long and either 1/2" or 3/4" wide depending on your greeting image.
- 1" X 5 1/2" horizontal strip
- Circles from the Stitched Shapes dies are the largest three circles.
You'll want ink, stamps and embellishments that coordinate with your Designer Paper. Remember you could use card stock instead of DSP.

Curvy Christmas & the Postage Punch

November 6, 2020
Check out this easy card using the new Curvy Christmas stamp set and the Postage Punch!

Save

It's super simple! Here's how I made it:
1. Stamp the curvy trees image on the White CS using Shaded Spruce ink. Color the trees with a Light Shaded Spruce Blends marker. Add a tiny star using Cherry Cobbler ink on one tree. Adhere it to the Cherry Cobbler layer and to the main card.
2. Punch out three pieces of Classic Christmas designer paper with the Postage Punch seen here. Adhere to the White CS.
3. Stamp the greeting in Cherry Cobbler ink on a 1/2" strip of White CS. Punch the ends with the Banners Pick a Punch. Add it to the card with mini dimensionals.
4. Finish with a few Holiday rhinestones.
You can see this stamp set here; it's only available through January 4th. And the Classic Christmas Designer Paper is here while supplies last.

Remember that everyone who orders any of these products or places an online order with me in November will receive a free 22 project PDF tutorial featuring the Curvy Celebration products!
