October In Person Class for Christmas Cards - Part 2

 

In October, I'm planning to hold both an In Person and an Online Christmas Card class. I'll have two price options. You'll have 4 designs and you can choose to make 1 each of the 4 designs for $25 or a minimum $30 order from me or you can make 2 each of the 4 designs for $50 or a minimum $60 order from me. The registration deadlines are as follows:

In Person: Monday, Oct. 24 by clicking HERE.

Online in the Okanagan: Monday, Oct. 24, by clicking HERE.

Here's the third card I'll be featuring: (The first two can be found HERE.)

This card, with its Cherry Cobbler and gold theme, uses the Brightest Glow bundle including the Brightest Glow stamp set and the Labels Aglow dies. The background DSP is from the Lights Aglow 6" x 6" Specialty Designer Series Paper, enhanced by the Glimmer 12" x 12" Specialty Paper.

The second card uses the Ringed with Nature Bundle:

I really wanted to try making a rustic Christmas Card with this versatile set. I originally made one with all Crumb Cake card base and tree rings but it lost a lot without the contrast, so I used Very Vanilla instead. The Tree Rings Hybrid Embossing Folder that embosses and die cuts at the same time is very cool, and I love all the great little embellishments and sentiments you can add.

Slimline Pansy Petals Suite Card

 I haven't made a slimline card in awhile and I was looking to use some of the fabulous Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper. Some of it is so intense that it doesn't work on a smaller card, but the larger 3 1/2" x 8 1/2" dimensions of a slimline card seem to be the right proportion for the intensity of design.

I'm actually using the sketch of the last Freshly Made Sketches challenge, but of course I didn't get this posted in time for the deadline, needing to post my Monday Morning Live project instead. But I really like the simplicity and classic lines so thought I'd use it anyway.

Here's a closer look at my design:

• Centered in the 3 1/2" x 8 1/2" Thick Basic White card front is a 7 3/4" x 2 3/4" piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock and centered on that is a 7 1/2" x 2 1/2" piece of Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper.
• Across the bottom about a 1/2" from the bottom is a piece of Evening Evergreen Open Weave Ribbon.
• The die cut pansies are made using the Pansy Dies from Thick Basic White, Pale Papaya, Fresh Freesia and Bumblebee cardstock. The leaves are from Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen.
• The sentiment is from the Ornate Thanks stamp set and stamped in Evening Evergreen on Basic White cardstock. It's trimmed on either side of the sentiment and the ends are punched with the Lovely Labels Pick-a-Punch.

June's Paper Pumpkin Kit looks amazing! I can hardly wait to get it! It coordinates with the Expressions in Ink Suite, and since that Specialty Designer Series Paper in not even orderable right now because it's so backordered, if you get this kit at least you'll be able to get some materials that are along the same lines! But to get it, you have to subscribe to Paper Pumpkin by June 10, and the way the Expressions in Ink went on backorder so fast, I'm thinking the sooner you subscribe, the better! Don't worry, it's so easy to manage your subscription, pausing or stopping whenever you want to online! Here's a link to use: Paper Pumpkin
