Christmas Wishes

With Christmas fast approaching, I am always keen to make elegant, fast, easily repeatable cards to send to friends and family!

This year I have been exploring the many different ways to stretch the I Wish Simply Sent kit from Stampin' Up!. You can see just a few of these cards below. So far I have made 20 different cards! I have been using the 12"x12" textured cardstock for the embellishments and layers, as well as the patterned papers and fabulous die cut stickers! I have also used some ribbon, punched shapes, a few buttons, brads, eyelets and glitter. The beauty of Stampin' Up! is how well these things all co-ordinate - takes away so much of the guess work! I just added A4 cardstock card bases in Real Red and Old Olive - and have heaps of the kit left. I think could probably manage to make at least 50 cards! This will definitely make a serious dent in the cards I need to Christmas as well as easing the boredom of repeating the same card design!

Are you interested in making of of these cards with me? I will be running a class teaching you 24 of the card designs. Imagine - 24 different cards from just one class!

Here are the details

When - Sunday 29th November 1pm - 5pm
Tuesday 1st December 10am - 2pm (repeat class)

Where - my house in Penrith

Cost - $50. This includes all materials for 24 cards and envelopes, use of stamps, ink punches and embossing materials and refreshments.

This class will need to be booked and fully paid by Monday 23rd November to ensure I have enough supplies!

What to bring - Please bring your choice of adhesive and dimensionals, a paper trimmer and a good pair of detail cutting scissors.
