The "patterned paper" created eight cards and one gift tag.  I later stamped a 2" x 8 1/2" piece of Whisper White using the same stamp set, I used it to decorate the gift bag.  I loved how the gift bag turned out, well worth the thirty minutes to create.

I will be posting more pictures of the various cards.  If you are interested in purchasing my OSW Class Planner, please email me.

The circle and scallop circles used in the gift tag and bag were from another manufacturer's dies.  The butterfly and pine branches were not Stampin' Up!.

CHRISTMAS CARD WORKSHOP

Friday, November 6

10:00 am - 12:30 pm

Create 19 beautiful, unique Christmas cards, a treasure to give and much prettier than a box of store bought cards.

Here is a sampling of the Christmas cards I created over the last week. It took me five complete nine-hour days to cut, design and create the cards using the Stampin' Up Scrappin' Christmas Jingle Kit.

The cost of the card making class is $35 and will include my designs, instructions, use of my stamps, inks, Big Shot exclusive dies, hand punches, 19 card bases, envelopes and all the extras needed to complete the 19 cards. Extras include brads, dimensionals, ribbon and cord. All you would need to bring is your enthusiasm and adhesive.

If you are interested, please email me. Payment deadline Monday, October 19.

The pdf paper layout instructions are available for purchase at $10.
