Christmas Creations

I had so much fun doing my Christmas Creations classes this year.  Sometimes I wish Christmas lasted all year so I would have a good excuse to make more Christmas projects!

Here's a few of the items we made from the class on Monday night...

This was the candle holder we made using the Big Shot and chimney flashing!  I love the way the metal flower petals multiply the glow of the candle. 

The Flower Folds die was used to make the flowers and Mini glue dots and Pop Up dots were used to assemble.

The tin was filled with 5 note cards and matching stamped envelopes.  The inside was also decorated with the Always Artichoke cardstock and a matching mini reindeer tag on the inside front cover.  All the cards used a Vintage style.  The reindeer was from Winter Post and the sentiment from Elements of Style.  The fabric wrapper was from the Deck the Halls Designer Fabric series and the large button was from the Deck the Halls Big Designer Button collection.   
  

I think this was my favorite project of the night...easy yet elegant.

I used Lovely Letters and Gold Embossing Powder to create the letters.  I also used the Baroque Motifs stamp set, the Ornament Punch and two size circle punches.  Old Olive and Real Red Craft inks were used to create the design on Very Vanilla cardstock.  The cord was retired product from a few years ago but can be purchased in any major craft store to complete the project.

 

Some of the ladies that attended the class chose to use their last names in place of "BELIEVE".

Check back on Friday to see even more Christmas projects perfect for gift giving.

Sneak Peak * Christmas Creations #4

The 4th class in the Christmas Creations series of classes will be held on Monday, October 18th.  The projects in this class series have been so much fun to make and I know you will enjoy them as much as I have.  Want a sneak peak of what you will be making??  Of course, you do so here you are....

The first project is a box stamped with the Serene Snowflakes stamp set and filled with hot chocolate mix.  Of course, hot chocolate isn't complete without marshmallows so I had to add a Sweet Treat cup filled with mini marshmallows.  The tag is made with a retired stamp set but it was so perfect, I couldn't resist using it.  Isn't this stinkin' cute!!??  I hope I find one of these in my stocking on Christmas morning!!

In this class, you will be making five unique projects.  Here's one more sneak peak but you'll have to register and attend if you want to see the other great projects...

I was not the original designer of this adorable Polar Bear card but I couldn't resist copying it for this class. Everyone on your Christmas card list will love getting this card. 

Just click the link below to register for the class.  The cost is $25 and all materials are supplied.  Class size is limited to six and your payment reserves your seat so don't procrastinate.  Put this date on your calendar today and plan to join the fun!

Totally Techniques Class

One of the monthly classes on my calender is the Totally Techniques class.  One of the cards for the month of September featured the Punched Art technique.  With this technique, we made the Lamp Post card using Stampin' Up! punches, the Lovely as a Tree and Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp sets, the Merry Details Sizzlet, White Taffeta ribbon, dimensionals and brads.  I cased this card from another very talented demonstrator but not sure now who that was (so if it was you, let me know if you'd like credit).

If you are interested in attending an upcoming Totally Techniques class, shoot me an email.  In each class, you will make two cards using two new techniques and will receive a 6" x 6" Technique Reference card to keep for future use. 

The Technique classes are usually scheduled for the third Thursday of every month but there are some exceptions.  You can view my class calendar on my website at www.oh2bstampin.stampinup.net.

SNEAK PEAK * Christmas Creations Class #3

A few days ago I promised you a sneak peak of the upcoming Christmas Creations Class (Sept. 29th) so below you will find a bit of a sneak peak but with a twist.  In the first project, I decided to make my sample using retired papers just to get an idea of how easy/difficult it would be for my customers to make.  So in the actual class, your paper will be completely different (much prettier!) because I will be using current Designer Paper from the Christmas Collection in the Idea Book and Catalog.

  

This project will include a Double Pocket Purse and tucked in the pockets are items you/your friend will need this Christmas...a mini book to store your addresses, shopping lists, menu plans and more, postage stamps and even Christmas tags.  You can always add a few personalized items as well but this will be a fun start to a fun project.

One of the other projects will be this beautiful Christmas card (thanks to Robin Merriman for the idea) featuring the Christ Is Born stamp set.  Come and learn how to make this beautiful two-tone poinsettia.

You can register for this class by sending payment through PayPal (my account address is oh2bstampin@yahoo.com) or by mailing payment to me at 9981 Mila St., Denton, MD 21629.  There are only 5 seats available and your payment reserves your seat in the class.  This class will fill so don't delay.

If you are interested in this as a "Class on the Go", gather together 5 friends and I'll come to you.  All payments for the Class on the Go would need to be made 15 days in advance to insure I could order all needed supplies.  Feel free to call me for more information at 410-479-4348.

CHRISTMAS CREATIONS CLASS #2

I absolutely LOVE Christmas and making Christmas projects.  Just thinking about Christmas gets my creative juices flowing.  This past Monday I held my Christmas Creations class (2nd in the series) and I think I enjoyed the class as much or more than my customers.  Here are some of the projects we made:

  

Some of the materials I used in the class are retired but very similar product is available either in the Clearance Rack on my website (click on Shop Now and then Clearance Rack in the left column), the current Idea Book & Catalog or the current Holiday Mini Catalog.  You can view the catalogs by clicking on the appropriate links in the left hand column here on my blog.

 
  

I am going to fill this little memory book with Christmas pictures from my past.  The inside has six 5"x5" pages but you could fill it with lots more.  The center of the snowflake and the curlique on the "R" features our new stick-on jewels but it's hard to see them in the picture.  Love the bling!

This little goodie box can be filled with sweet treats, small cosmetics, votive candles or bath soaps.  The possibilities are endless.  Both of these projects were made using the Big Shot die cut machine...my absolutely FAVORITE product that we carry. 

The Felt Snowflakes, Corduroy Buttons and Chocolate Chip Satin ribbon are available at the Clearance Rack (link in the previous paragraph) while supplies last for a fraction of the original price.   Please be sure to indicate me as your personal demonstrator when ordering...thanks!

This picture does not do the card justice AT ALL!!  The entire surface is covered with Shimmery Paint Mist and is totally sparkling!!  The stamp set is Come to Bethlehem...my favorite Christmas stamp set  in the Idea Book.  Quick and easy embossed card.  Also uses the Top Note Sizzix die cut for the More Mustard accent.

The next Christmas Creations class will be held on Monday, September 20th at 6:30 p.m. and there are only five seats available.  If you want to make some fun Christmas projects but are unable to attend the class, all you have to do is gather up 5 friends and I will bring the class to you.  The class fee is $25 (must be paid 15 days in advance for Class on the Go; 7 days in advance for class in my home) and will include 4 to 5 projects.  Checks in the mail or credit card by PayPal or cash are accepted.  Check back in the next few days to see a preview of some of the projects we will be making at the next Christmas Creations class.

Delightful Duos Chalkboards

One of the classes I recently held in my home was the first class in the Delightful Duos series.  In the Delightful Duos classes, we will be making two of each item...one to keep & one to give away.  In this particular class, we made Decor Element Chalkboards.  

I wanted the girls to be able to use their own creativity so they had a choice of Designer Paper and embellishments to use.  Below are some of the completed projects they created.  The chalk holder at the bottom of the boards is actually a business card holder from Target!   I think they all did an excellent job.

 

   

Totally Techniques

This is one of the cards we will be making in this month's Totally Techniques class.  I was having so much fun that I made several versions. They all basically use the same supplies just in different colors. 

The Totally Techniques class is held every 3rd Thursday of the month.  Call 5 days prior to class to register.  Cost is $10 or free with a $35 order.  We make two cards and two technique reference sheets each month.

 

 The second card we will be making is just in time for Easter.
