We got a good layer of snow all over the Gallatin Valley here in Montana and boy is it pretty outside! You know what that means... it's getting closer to Christmas! Many stampers choose to make their own handmade Christmas cards each year and can't wait for new ideas, stamps, techniques, etc. To help facilitate that inspiration, I offer Christmas Card Buffet classes periodically starting usually in July. My latest one is this evening from 5 to 8 p.m. and tomorrow morning from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. If you are in the area, please stop by and if you need specific directions to my house, contact me!
Christmas is a wonderful reason and season to get crafty. There is no shortage of supplies, ideas, cute stuff and amazing artistic elements. My dilemma is keeping my card selections at the buffet limited to less than 20, as that is about all that will fit on the table! If you've never been, I precut the supplies for a card and gather up everything you need to make a specific card that I have designed. The card and the supplies are in a shoebox. You grab the box for the card you would like to make, make it, then grab another box, etc. Some friends come for just a few minutes, make a special card and then head out to continue their busy day. Other friends come first thing and stay the whole time and make 10-15 cards! It's your choice and designed to allow you to choose what you want to do and work at your own pace. I hope you can stop by and check it out. It's a lot of fun and you never know what surprises or promotional specials I may throw in for those that attend ;)
Here are some sneak peeks of cards that are on my buffet this time! Which is your favorite?
This is only a sampling! I will take some more pictures of the rest and show them tomorrow. You can see my ideas are pretty varied as far as style, themes, colors, etc. I like it all and love to play with it all!
If you can't swing by the buffet, you can still get some supplies and get going on your own Christmas card projects. Click on "shop now" to the right and then go to the Holiday Catalog link in the store. You'll find tons of inspiration and just what you are looking for. It's easy to set up an online account and have your order delivered directly to you, no matter where in the United States you live! I would love to expand my customer base and would welcome any newcomers! I'm available for ideas, questions, coaching, problem solving and crafting fun and with all the avenues of social media, distance is a minor distraction, right?!!
Well, I have a busy day ahead of me. Hope to see you this evening or tomorrow morning!
Happy Stampin'!
