Ann’s Christmas Card Class In this class, we will make four Christmas cards. On one card you will embroider on three Christmas trees. The next card features a circle of poinsettias and the message is “Merry Christmas”. On the next card you will emboss three poinsettias in gold embossing powder on black paper (looks very elegant). The last card features a cute Santa with a bag full of gifts. In addition to your regular supplies, please bring your favorite coloring medium. It is hard to describe the cards, so stop by the store to see the samples. Hope you can make it.

It’s a Monogram Type of Day! Using Altenew Washi Tape and metal dies you will create a gift box set of monogrammed notecards, a couple of gift tags, a gift card holder and a holiday surprise! Please think of who you would like to make the monogram gift set for and share the initials with the store upon class registration. Class fee must be paid when registering.

So if you would like additional monograms to make these projects at home, you can purchase extra cardstock at the store and allow yourself some additional time to cut out your monograms. If you want to bring in your own Cuttlebug or Big Shot, that will also be welcome so several people can cut at once.
