Get Ready for the New Year!

With the holidays over and January in full swing it's time to start thinking about your New Year's Resolutions! One resolution I am going to be working on is building up my card collection so that I can send a handmade card to my nearest and dearest this year on their birthdays!

If you would like to make this same resolution we can work on it together at my classes! If you plan ahead and get the cards for the birthdays in February done in January and the cards for the birthdays in March done in February and so forth, you will always be on top of your cards and birthdays! Since my classes are monthly it would help to give you the means and ideas for your cards for the birthdays in the next month!

Let's make 2011 the year of handmade cards! Hope to see you at my next class, January 22th at Roberts Crafts in Washington, UT!

December 12th Card Preview & Supply List

December 12th 2009

Card Class Supply List

Supply List

• Paper Cutter
• Patterned Paper (I will be using 6 coordinating patterns on both cards)
• Adhesive
• Ruler
• Ink pad (I will use black)
• Stamps
• Corner Rounder
• Ribbon 3/8 inch -1/2 inch wide, at least 8 inches long (Optional)
• 8½ x 11 White Card-stock or pre-made, blank cards. (I’m working with card sized to 5½ x 4)

We will be making two cards if time permits. Both cards call for several different patterns of paper. I use double sided paper from the same line so I know that they will all match, but you don’t have to. For example, for the cards I’m demonstrating in this class I used a several sheets of patterned paper (double sided, so there are two different patterns on one sheet) of the “Eskimo Kisses” line by BasicGrey. You can use what you want though.

Any of my cards would work great for Holiday cards! If you want to get started on your Christmas cards feel free to bring your Holiday paper! I will be at Roberts 15 minutes before class begins to answer any questions and give suggestions on products.
