Walkin' (Stampin') In A Winter Wonderland

I did it! I finally got the first batch of projects done! "First batch?!" you say. Yes, I have ideas for so many cute cards, I just can't stick to the few I did. It's silly, but I spent hours and hours learning how to use that electronic diecutter, so while no one at church signed up for my card class (what?!), at least I made myself learn how to use my cool new toy, so we can all play next Friday!! The trouble will be limiting myself to what will fit in my van!! I wonder what it costs to rent a little trailer from U-Haul... (you think I'm kidding)

Here goes -

Snowmen Card - newsletter style
$1.25 each - newsletter style, $1.10 each - card style

Flip up the front, and this is the next view.

Flip this layer to the left, and you see the newsletter.
On the left of the newsletter is the family photo. This card is my favorite! I learned the most making the photomat and the oval ribbon tags on this one.

Nativity Card - $0.75 each or $0.95 each for newsletter style

The inside of the card.


Easy Sticker Thank-You Cards - $0.25 each
These are about 3-1/2" x 3-1/2".

Cellophane treat bags - $0.20 each

other patterns, and we can make the tags and ribbons to match

Gable-style Gift Boxes - $0.95 each
I love the fat little Santas! About 8"x4"x5"
other patterns available, and we can made the tags and ribbon to match


Oh, if you want any color changes (like burgandy & gold thank-you cards, etc.), or any changes otherwise, let me know, and I'd be glad to make them! And don't forget that the envelopes come with the cards, even though they aren't pictured here.

Gotta Go!

Update: going to church, will post samples later. Thanks!

Pulling An All-Nighter

Yes, you realize this means that I NEVER went to bed last night! I had a brief nap on the floor of my craftroom, but I am carrying on! But I conquered the mongo learning curve of my electronic diecutter, finished my first, and biggest, project, and am now seriously picking up speed. I've got until 1pm!

Card Class Sign-Ups

Good morning ladies! I just got my big die shipment in last night, so I will be crafting all day, and posting projects here as I complete them, so stay tuned!

Cards - we will be doing a snowman card, a snowflake card, a nativity card, a thank-you card, and perhaps more.

Ornaments - we will be doing a cute photo frame ornament.

Neighbor/VT gifts - we will have cute treat boxes, both large and small, as well as cellophane treat bags with tags.

Please check here throughout the day, but I probably won't get most of them posted until later tonight.

Thanks! And feel free to comment!

You can also email me at beckyscraftroom@yahoo.com, if you want to sign up that way.

Chrysalis

Boy, after a two-and-a-half-year hiatus, I feel renewed and ready to craft again!! I am putting together a card-making class for my local church group, so that's keeping me busy for now. I am still planning on auctioning off most of my older dies and craft supplies on eBay, and I will introduce new kits, too, if I can.
