Christmas Card Workshop

Sometimes I feel like I'm skipping over Autumn and Thanksgiving in order to prepare for Christmas....  However, I know that if we make Christmas cards that we need to start creating early.

And so I announce my 2019 Christmas Card Workshop.
I made 5 simple cards and you can take it from there - jazz them up, change the stamps, change the colors, whatever you would like.
The cuts are basic cuts that will allow you to cut and create lots of cards in a short amount of time with just a few supplies.



To create 25 cards, you will need just two packs of paper and card bases:

X254 1/2 pack (25) White Cards & Envelopes

x9009 Mix-in Paper Packet (Nov./Dec. catalog)

CUSTOM12 Custom Cardstock Pack—12 Sheets
                        6 White, 6 Candy Apple Red


And the rest of the design is up to you!!   You can make 25 cards all the same or you can make 5 of each design and change the designs as you go.  

The stamp colors I used are:
Z6512 Evergreen Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad 
Z6513 Green Apple Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad 
Z6509 Candy Apple Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad 
z2805 Black Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad 

And I used the following stamp sets:
C1804 Merry Christmas Tree p. 31 $14.95
CC12181 Retired Stamp Set (was available Dec 2018)
CC9191 A Dash of Joy (was available in September 2019)
D1878 Cedar & Pine—Scrapbooking p. 19 $18.95
C1800 Holly Jolly—Cardmaking p. 8 $14.95
C1810 Holiday Trimmings p. 37 $14.95

If you don't have the retired stamp sets, you can substitute lots of other stamp sets.  If you come to my workshop, I will have these stamp sets available for your use.  I will also provide lots of choices for inside sentiments for your cards.

Add in some bling and markers you are ready!
Z1263 Bitty Sparkles

Z3274 Clear Sparkles
Z3565 Holiday Loose Sequins

I will be having a workshop for these cards on November 16th from 9-1.  The cost is $10 and your purchase of needed supplies.  You are welcome to use my stamp sets and inks.  However, please be mindful that we will all share supplies, so for example if you are going to be making 25 Christmas Tree cards then please bring your own inks and stamp set because you will spend most of your time stamping!! 

You will be supplied with cutting directions and lots of sample cards and whatever assistance you need during the workshop.  And you will go home with your Christmas Cards all finished!  

If you are at a distance, you can order the supplies for the cards you would like to create and I'll make sure you get the cutting instructions emailed to you.  Gather a few friends and make a fun day of it!! 

Happy Crafting, 
Lisa.
