Christmas Card Workshop is Coming!

The Holidays are fast approaching, and I'd like to help you get ahead on your schedule of things to do, and we can have a little fun while we're at it!  I'm thrilled to announce that my Christmas Card Workshop is ready!  Join me on Sunday, November 18th at 2 pm to make your very own Handmade by You cards for the Holidays! 

You'll create 16 cards (2 each of 8 different designs) for only $25!!  Your papers will be pre-cut and ready for you to stamp and assemble at the workshop!  Bring:  small scissors, adhesive and a bone folder.  Snacks and beverages will be provided to get you in the holiday mood!

These cards have been designed without lumpy embellishments which can cost more to mail.  For added "bling" I've applied Stardust Glitz Glitter Gel and I'll show you how to use this on your own cards.  Since this gel can take awhile to dry, and you don't want to smudge your beautiful cards, I'll give each person their own bottle to take home.  You can use as much or as little as you like, depending upon your tastes.

These cards are 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 and the card bases will be provided to you as well as the envelopes.  We'll use a variety of Cricut shapes, My Reflections papers, and My Acrylix stamps to assemble them completely at the workshop.  After the workshop, you will just need to apply the Glitz gel at home and let them dry before addressing them and sending them off to people far and away! 

Each workshop is limited to 6 participants, so register quickly to make sure you get a spot!  Class must be paid for at time of reservation, and all reservations must be made no later than November 1st to ensure that products arrive in time for the workshop.  Payment may be made by Paypal, cash or check.  Just email me first to ensure that I have reserved a space for you, and let me know how you'd like to make payment.

**You can also sign up online if you are in my Meetup group!  http://www.meetup.com/Cary-Papercrafters/  

Christmas In JULY!!!

Feelin' the HEAT?  When we moved to NC 7 years ago, we left New England in the middle of a blizzard at the beginning of December.  We arrived 3 days later in balmy North Carolina to temperatures in the 70's.  Wow.  We knew we were HOME.  No more snow to shovel, no more ice to chip off the sidewalks and steps.  Yay!!

But it does get hot in the middle of summer, doesn't it?  To take our minds off the heat, let's have Christmas in July!  Well, we can prepare for Christmas, anyway!
