It's a Hunky Dory Christmas! Several of you have asked me about the new Foil Trimmed Hunky Dory Card Topper Kits and how to use them, so I'm going to be teaching with one of their beautiful new Winter/Christmas Kits. I have been experimenting with these kits at home and I have fallen in love with their quality and wonderful designs. We will add in layers, ribbon and various embellishments to create stunning cards that are trimmed in foil, yet not hard to make. All you need to bring to class are your craft mat, personal paper trimmer, scissors, a variety of adhesives (including pop dots), and a glitter gel pen or Stickles for snow. Everyone will make the same kit in class (Deerest Wishes Winter/Christmas kit, which is a little fawn winter scene with silver foil trim). Then there will be extra kits in different designs available for purchase at class with a 20% student discount. The packages say you can get "at least 2 cards out of the kit," but I have experimented and have been able to get 5-6 cards per kit (depending on the designs). The kits are due in the store soon, so watch for my samples to come out after the Appleton trip. This class will include 5 cards. Instructor: Sue Benner Cost: $22 10/12/19 Saturday 10:30am
