Christmas Card Class

Christmas Shaker Card and Ornamental Gift Tag Class

On Saturday, Dec 8th, 2018, 10 am - 12 pm, we will be making 4 Christmas shaker cards and 4 coordinating tags designed by my director Lisa Stenz.  She creates beautiful projects and has given me permission to share with my customers.

Shaker Cards are so fun to send and you just can't help but shake them.  The gift tags are so beautiful that you may want to just hang them on your tree as ornaments.

Check out this video showing the cards close up and in action.

I love Christmas Villages so I decide to make a cottage.  To create this, I used Cricut Season of Joy Digital Collection.  The main part of the house is made of Kraft paper and the door, roof and trim are made from the Tis' the Season Paper Pack.  The chimney is not part of the Cricut design.  I added that myself.

To add that old world look, I textured bricks on the house with Opaque Matte Texture Paste and then sponged some color on them using the Candy Apple Exclusive Ink Stamp Pad.  I used White Glitter Paper for snow.

Of course, to celebrate the season, I added a Noel Wreath from Cricut Season of Joy Digital Collection.  I love all the images in this collection.  The greenery above the window is called Holly Border.  It is from Cricut Artisty Digital Collection. New England Ivy and Candy Apple cardstock go so well together with little red pearls.  Our white core cardstock makes the greenery look like they have a dusting of snow on them. It was hard to stop adding more things to this little cottage. You can really get carried away!

I love dabbling in mixed media. When Close To My Heart came out with Opaque Matte Texture Paste, I just had to play with it. 

I created a brick stencil using Cricut Artbooking Digital Collection and Stencil Sheets. 

The leaves are made with the texture paste by spreading the texture paste on cardstock, let it dry for about 30 min., then stamped the oak leaves into the texture paste.  The oak leaf is from the stamp set Grateful Heart Cardmaking.  I painted the leaves with Goldrush, Pomegranate, and Fern using Close To My Hearts Exclusive Inks Stamp Pads. 

To give the card a little sparkle, I embossed the words with Ranger Gold Tinsel Embossing Powder on vellum paper.  The sentiment came from Close To My Heart October Stamp of the Month, Thanks & Giving.
