Christmas Card Buffet

 I am doing a modified Christmas Card buffet.  My orders from CTMH won't be in until next week so I am sharing what I have now.  Please look over the cards and see if there are some you would like to do.  Look back in a week and see what the additional cards look like.

I will do Zoom classes in November.  I will do 5 cards per session but can do more than 1 session on any given day.  It will be $15 for 5 cards if you can come and get them or I am close enough to bring them otherwise postage will be added to the cost. You can choose 1 of each card you wish.  Those who pay early can request which 5 cards they want to do at their session. You can choose how many sessions you wish to do your cards.  I am limiting the number of cards that I am cutting out.  I can cut more but the papers may vary.  

Here are the samples so far.  I am looking forward to having a great time with you on Zoom. You will need adhesive.  The following will help you out to embellish and make your cards PoP.  I will stamp and will do the backgrounds for the kits.  You will have to do some coloring and cutting.

 Our Spectrum Noir Triblend alcohol markers are beautiful for blending.


3D thin foam can be used and the cards will still go through the mail.

The Tombow tap runner is what I regularly use.  If there is something that needs a few seconds to get into place or there are thin lines that need to be adhered, I prefer the Green liquid Tombow.  This is like "2 way glue" in that if you put it on a project and let it dry before putting it anywhere, it will be like 3m sticky note pads.  This is great for masking.  There is also a blue bottle but it is always permanent.

CTMH has a variety of shimmer brushes.  Gold and Sliver are good ones for these projects and many more.

CTMH now has Stickles Glitter Glue and Liquid Pearls.  The silver Z3562 or Icicle Z3785 Glitter Glue and the Carnation Liquid Pearls Z3799 are great for these Christmas Cards.

Make a special calendar!

 Every year CTMH has a great calendar bundle of Cut Above 12 12x12 pages, stamp set and calendar blank.  This year it is called "Movements like these and is available until Dec 31 as supplies last.

I will do a Zoom class with anyone purchasing the bundle from my website.

The Cut Above kits mean you don't stamp - just adhere the punch outs and stickers to the base pages provided.  The cutting guide is simple and really makes a superior present or calendar for yourself.

Check it out!
