Christmas Is Coming!

For our November class, we made 2 Christmas cards and a festive treat holder.

 This card is quite simple and uses Garden Green, Cherry Cobbler and Crumb Cake colours with the holly taken from Hang Your Stocking stamp set and the rest from Merry Mistletoe.  The DSP is Be Merry.

This card was a bit more complicated and required some careful lining up of the elements of the quilted star. For this card we used one of the this years In-Colors; Lemon Lime Twist which went well with Real Red and Garden Green.  This also matched in well with the Quilted Christmas DSP.  The stamp sets used were Christmas Quilt and Star of Light.  The ribbon is called Quilted Christmas (a bit of a common theme going on here!!) And the Quilt Builder Framelit Dies were used for the cutting of the elements.

Our 3D project was to make this cute little stocking using the Trim Your Stocking thinlets and the Cable Knit embossing folder.

Christmas Card Making Workshop

I held my annual Christmas Card Making Workshop at Frampton on Severn on Sunday 15th October with 10 attendees. We made 20 cards (5 designs and 4 of each) and a tealight holder. We had 3 new crafters and I think they enjoyed their bit of 'me' time.
I have posted the projects that we made for you to see.

For the cards we used Quilted Christmas DSP and everyone had 1/2 a pack of this paper as part of their Goodie Bags well as some Metallic Enamel Shapes and all the card stock required to make all the projects.  The colours used were Real Red, Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler. The stamp sets we used were Christmas Quilt, Hearts Come Home and Hang Your Stocking (and matching thinlets).
The tealight holder was made using Night of Navy cardstock and Vellum stamped with Basic Black Archival ink.
I normally run this type of workshop each year in October ans start to advertise it in July so look out next if you would like to come along.

Octobers Christmas Card Workshop

Our annual Christmas Card making workshop was held at Frampton Village Hall on Sunday 16th October and attended by 13 crafters of all ages, some of whom had never been to a class before so it was great to have some new faces.  Below are photos of the cards we made.  By using the Crumb Cake Notecard set, we were able to make 4 cards of each of the the 5 designs.  We also made small gift box containing 4 tea lights.
