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.

Christmas Card Buffet

The following cards are going to be in the mix for the several card workshops I cam doing for my Christmas Card buffet.  Some are easier than others.  I absolutely love the Shimmer Brushes and I did some of the card using the Stickles Glitter Gel.  They are useful for somethings but what I tried to use them for, I was disappointed.  I have fun designing the cards and enjoy when others take delight in them as well.

Christmas Card Buffett

17 Cards are in this $15 buffet.

Sign up for a 2 hours session.  You can make 1 or 2 cards of the 17 offered.  You will probably make from 6 - 12 cards during that time.  We will start on time and you can't start making a new card 5 minutes before ending.  You can make what you can in 2 hours.  10 people can come at one time.  I timed it and most of the cards will take between 10 - 15 minutes. The cards that use markers may take longer depending on how long you take to color the image.

You will work as an individual at your own speed.  You will pick up a packet which has the pieces cut out. There will be a sample and instructions. You will share the inks, blocks and markers at the table.  You need to stamp and sometimes cut and then put the card together.  This is the first time I have tried this.   I have cut 5 of each of the cards.  Once the cards are gone they are probably gone unless I still have some paper left to cut new cards of that style. This will be a first come first serve basis.

The dates I have open are: October 5,6,7,8,14,15,19,28 and November 4,5,6,10,11,18.  Groups of 3 - 10 can come during the day or at night.  If you place an order over $20, I will waive the $15 for the workshop. Email me if you are interested. 

These are the 17 cards:
