GIFT BOXED CARDS

DATE:  SUNDAY, December 5th

TIME:  1-3 PM

COST:  $20

Hold on a moment while I adjust the new flab garnered from my Thanksgiving dinner!  Whoa!  Why do we eat so much in one day?  I hope you all enjoyed your turkey day as much as I did.  I got to spend it with my kids and granddaughter down the Cape.  A great day!

Now that we've gotten Thanksgiving out of the way, we are in full swing for Christmas with decorations, party planning and gift giving.

Did I say gift giving?  Do you have that certain someone who tends to be difficult to buy for?  They "need" nothing and they "want" nothing.  But we are compelled (and determined) to give them a little something to open up and Christmas.  I have the perfect gift for you to give!  Check out below the gift box set of 4 cards/envelopes that you will be creating with your own two little hands.  

First up is the "pizza box" that you will create.  The photo below is simply a sample of what it will look like on class day.  I will choose different designer papers to decorate your box with.  HOWEVER, I'd like to offer the opportunity for you to bring your own designer paper if you wish.  I can't guarantee what I'll be cutting for you and you may have a favorite/special paper that you'd like to use.  If you do choose to bring your own, PLEASE LET ME KNOW so that I don't cut any paper unnecessarily.  You don't need a large piece - an 8-1/2 x 11 will more than take care of it.  You'll also need to send me a photo of the paper so that I can match ribbon to it (unless you have some at home that you'd like to use).

Here's the box...

And the following photos are in groups of two cards each for the inside:

You may have noticed a soft, shimmery shine to the colored background of these cards.  Well this is a technique we will be doing as well.  Check the newsletter for additional information.

Oh boy!  We are in full swing with Christmas cards, aren't we?  It's never too early to get started on them.  In keeping with the season, I've created three easy, semi-easy, more complicated (in that order) cards for you.  

Our first card involves layered dies.  I've been a little fascinated by them and decided to take the plunge and purchase one.  Super simple!  You can create a card in minutes with this type of die and they do make a visual impact.  I think the most difficulty you'll have with these dies is choosing which papers/card stock to use!  Since it's for Christmas -- sparkle and shine are the order of the day.

And our next card is very simple as well.  You know I'm a proponent of getting the most from your embossing folders.  I love this one in particular as you can use it for many different occasions.  This one is a 3-D (they are fantastic folders!) and I've added some ink to bring out the details.

And our third card is a little fussier than the above two.  There will be stamping and embossing as well as learning to make this creative card front.

Here's the card closed -- note the pull tab to the right.

Pull on that tab and a message appears!

PLEASE NOTE:  There is one opening left for this class.  Please email me at deedee.maligno@gmail.com  to reserve this last spot.  Or you can do one-stop shopping and use the PayPal Button below to pay and reserve your spot.
