December Stamp Class

With all the hustle of holiday shopping, it's nice to feel a more comforting side of the Christmas season with hand-stamped projects.  There's something about making and sending these special cards or little packages of hand-made joy are can be so special and endearing.  And if you love a little glitz with your holiday crafting, then here's the perfect class for you!

 The upper left card shows off one of the beautifully glossy Frosted Floral Designer Papers on both sides!  Add some coordinating stamped and die cut leaves and flowers plus a silver bow and strip of glimmer tape, and you have a simple yet unique layout to make and send your good cheer along this year.

The lower left card has a peacefully neutral color combination and natural feel with a hint of shine.  You'll love the little punched leaves tucked into the front flap that coordinate nicely with the gold twig embellishment as well as the partially embossed circle among the tree trunks on the inside.  Note that this and the previous card could also be wonderful thank-you cards to send after Christmas gifts have been opened.

The hexagon box (upper right corner) is the perfect 3" size for a very special small gift or collection of holiday candies, and can be used again and again.  Look carefully how the die cut candles in the front of the box are done in Christmas colors rather than in typical birthday themes. The spray of snowflakes on top is from the limited edition Snowfall Thinlits dies, which are only available through Nov. 30th and then they're gone!  Don't miss ordering this wonderful set with its matching stamps before then; we'll do more with the stamps and dies next year but you'll need to get them now!

The last card on the lower right is very sophisticated with its black, white, and gold colors.  The snowflakes are all from the same Snowfall Thinlits dies set, cut from white velvet, vellum, and gold foil.  Add the jeweled center, gold accent beads, and sparkly black ribbon, and this card will please those who love a more non-traditional, glamorous look. You could also easily make the bottom band into a pocket and turn this into a gift card holder, how special is that! 

So mark your calendars and bring a friend, there will be two classes to choose from this month!
