Christmas Card In July Workshop

Saturday, July 25th
12:00 p.m.
$35

Registration deadline:  July 12th


Let's get a head start on our Christmas cards this year!  In this special extended workshop you'll make 15 fun and easy cards to get you ready to start celebrating the holidays. (The above picture highlights just a few of the cards you will create.)

We'll be using Picture My Life (PML) cards in this workshop, a wonderful option for card makers.  They give non-stampers of variety of fun images, but can also be "dressed up" by those who do love to stamp. The layout ideas in this workshop can be used with any of the PML cards, for any occasion.

BONUS:  If 15 cards are not enough for you, I am offering bonus kits to all workshop participants for $25.  You'll get the supplies and cut-to-size papers, cardstock, and envelopes to make an additional set of cards.  Stamp the images during the workshop and assemble at home.  That will give you a total of 30 cards (or more)!  You must let me know BEFORE the workshop if you would like additional kit(s). Are you interested in making the project but can't make the above date?  Contact me to purchase a kit!
