Last Chance for Winter/Holiday Mini Catalog

 Hi all!

Today starts the Last Chance Sale!  This sale runs from December 1st until January 3rd, 2022 or while supplies last!

Click here to go to my store and see what's available and what is on sale!  If your order is under $150, please use hostess code:  WF7WYJV2.  Thanks!  and Happy Shopping!

Also, just a bit of an update:  there will not be any classes in December.  I am pretty busy getting ready for Christmas here at home and at church and going out West to see my son.  Yes, we usually only see my son once a year, but this year I thought I would like to celebrate Christmas with he and his family.  It will be a bit early, but I'm looking forward to it.

My son's family, loves, loves, loves Christmas!  So to that end, I have been busy crafting surprises for my 3 grandsons, who are 9, 7 and 4.  Here they are on Thanksgiving visiting their other grandparents, who happen to live on a golf course!

So I baked them cookies, bought them candy and assorted little toys for them to explore and play with.  

Here are the 3 pizza boxes that I decorated - each contains a giant, frosted cookie!

Next, I used my November Paper Pumpkin to make really cute treat boxes - these contain fun candies and of course a candy cane!

These were so much fun and so easy to put together and I think they look great.  I know the boys will love them.  

Here are the bags that I put together - they have fidgets, coloring books, crayons, light up necklaces, all kinds of things - all Christmas themed.  

The green square tin on the right hand side, contains 4 different kinds of Christmas cookies.

Not pictures - 2 lb. box of Fannie May select chocolates.  They have a sale on 2 lb. boxes every year around Thanksgiving...my husband left church early so he could get a couple of boxes.  

I know that sounds like a lot of cookies and candy, but this family of 5 will descend on this like a bunch of monkey's on a cupcake.  

So besides classes in November and a craft sale that I donated cards to, this has been a very busy November - baking and cooking and wrapping.  

Hope you have a wonderful Holiday Season!  (I'm not wishing you a Merry Christmas, because Christmas isn't here yet!)

Blessings,

Sheryl

November Blog Waddle from the Stray Ducklings - Happy Holidays!

 Hi All!  

Welcome to our November Blog Waddle - the Holidays are upon us!

The inspiration for this blog hop is the Holidays!  I use Pinterest to give me inspiration when designing my cards.  Here is a card that I found to be so beautiful in it's understatement of images:  

This card uses the peaceful season Designer series paper.  The catalog does not do it justice.  It's in blacks and grays and silver, which you think, not too christmassy.  But when put together with the coordinating stamp set, it is gorgeous and so unique looking.  I used Evening Evergreen as the base of my card.  The layering piece is Smokey Slate.  I stamped the cabin in Memento Tuxedo black and die cut the trees in Evening Evergreen.  The sentiment was stamped in Evening Evergreen and I punched it out with the Essential Tag Punch - it fit perfectly!

Here is another card I made using the Gingerbread and Peppermint paper - using an technique that has been around a while - the penny spinner.  This card delights both old and young.  It's so much fun to watch it spin!  And it's easy to make.  There is a die in Beautiful Trees die set that works perfectly to cut the slit in the card.  I actually used the retired Word Window Punch.   Sandwich a dimensional between two pennies and the card front.  Give it a good shake and voila!  We have a spinner card.  I originally got the idea from Dawn Olchefske.  

Here is her YouTube video explaining on make the spinning mechanism on the card and the shaking technique (essential to make it spin!)

Here is my card.  I cut out a star cookie with Cinnamon Cider card stock and the frosting with the coordinating die, out of basic white..  I sponged the edges of the cookie to make them looked more "baked".  

Both of these cards were from my October 2021 class.  You too can make beautiful cards like these with my classes.  Contact me if you would like to experience the world of card making...I'll warn you.  It's addicting!

Hope you enjoyed my cards today.  Waddle on over to Nancy Legate  and see what inspiring cards she has!

Here is a list of all my dear Ducklings who are participating in this months blog hop:

November Class is Now In Session!

 Hi all!

I'm really excited about this months cards - we are going to do a Stamp-A-Stack of Christmas cards!  I'm using a layout called 6 x 6 wonder - you take 6, 6x6 pieces of double sided designer paper and make 14 cards from these with 5 different layouts.  I'm taking 2 Christmas 6x6 papers, the Gingerbread and Peppermint DSP from the Winter Mini-Catalog, and also the Tidings of Christmas 6 x6 paper found in the annual catalog.  Here are the two types of cards you can make:

Gingerbread and Peppermint:  Colors are Old Olive, Basic White, Real Red and Cinnamon Cider.

Tidings of Christmas:  Colors are Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen, Cherry Cobbler, Sahara Sand and Basic White with some Gold Foil thrown in for impact.

In this class you will receive:  

 - 14 card bases

 - 14 envelopes

 - 1/4 package of  Designer Series Paper (12 sheets of 6 x 6 paper)

 - 2 yards of red satin ribbon (Gingerbread class)

- 1/2 sheet of gold foil paper (Tidings of Christmas class)

- 1 packet or Red Rhinestones

 - 2 sheets of Stampin’Dimensionals

Cost is $35.  

For either one, there are 5 different layouts.  

Let me know ASAP if you are taking the class and which Class - Tidings or Gingerbread.  I need to order supplies.  

Dates & Times - Since this is a busy season, I’m offering several dates and times.  You will need to bring your paper snips and adhesive to class.

Tuesday, November 16th - my home 10am - 2pm (limit 6)

Friday, November 19th - Morton Christian Church - 10am - 2pm

Saturday, November 27th - my home - 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm  (limit 6)

Tuesday, November 30th - my home 10am - 2pm (limit 6)

Don't let the number of cards to make intimidate you....the fun is in the stamping and deciding the elements to use and the paper.  Everyone's will look a little different.  

Let me know if you want to take the class and when.  

Hope to see you soon in class!
