Fire and Ice Christmas Technique Class

August 31, 2012

Today I'm working on the samples for my upcoming class at Scrap Arts (604-980-8811).

It's been so long since I taught a class and it's taking me forever to get these samples sorted out - there is just too much other stuff going on at home right now!

Anyway here are the first 2 sneak peeks from this class called Fire and Ice.

This will be a technique based Christmas/Winter themed class.

We will be making 3 cards and 1 project using the Heat Tool - hence the "Fire" - and with snow and glitter "Ice" added for the Christmas/Winter theme.

I will be teaching this class ONLY twice at Scrap Arts - one in September and the other in October (same class 2 different dates).

Please call the store at 604-980-8811 to register ASAP - space will be limited!

I hope you see some of you soon!

Ornament Wreath

How do you like this ornament wreath that I made?

 You just feed ornaments on to a wire coat hanger.  Then you use the hook in the hanger to hang it up.
I don't really like that the hanger hook is showing....

 And it kind of sticks out quite a bit on the door. 
This wouldn't work if you had a screen door on top of your front door!

I got my ornaments from Bed Bath and Beyond - a package of 41 for $13.99. 

I bought 2 packages to make this wreath (yep 82 balls!). 

You can find unbreakable ornaments everywhere for different price points - I saw some great ones by Martha Stewart at Home Depot - but the reason I choose these ornaments was because of the colour combo (red, green and gold) and there were both shiny and glittery balls in 2 different sizes.

I made this ornament wreath using THIS TUTORIAL.

If you are a visual learner click HERE and HERE for videos.

There are lots of different versions of this oline and I might take mine apart and do it on a wreath form.

I found THIS ONE - without using the hanger on a foam core wreath.

THIS ONE using a green wreath base.

Until Next Time!

Kids Christmas Card Class

I don't many kids classes anymore but as favour for a friend I did a class on Friday night with 8 kids - aged 8 to 14.

Here are the cards we made:

Originally we had allocated 2 hours to make these cards but my schedule changed and I only had 90 minutes.  I was a bit worried but after the kids arrived and tore open their packages they only looked at the sample cards once and they were off.

The older kids got all 4 cards done - their way - in 30 minutes and the youngest - 8 years old - got hers done in 40 minutes!  They were cardmaking machines and all the cards turned out so nice!

I also included a bunch of die cuts and tags - just in case - for the kids who finished early to work on until we were done.

Until Next Time!

Small Business Christmas Cards

For the last few years I have been doing small business Christmas cards as a favour to a few friends.

No big mail outs - just 20 - 25 cards at most.  I use their preprinted company cards as my base and then embellish with stamps, ink and sometimes glitter.


Here is this year's card for Susan at shift strategy + design.

Until Next Time!

It's the most busiest time of the year!

I haven't been doing much cardmaking or even colouring lately!

We have been so busy with the kids and when I do sit down for a few minutes I just want to relax.

During this hiatus from my craft room I have re-discovered crochet.  Here are some the flowers I have been making for a friend's craft sale.

Aren't they soooo pretty!

I've just been using scraps from my kids knitting class days and so I have quite the variety of colours!

As well as crochet I have been asked to do a kids Christmas class.

Here are 2 of the 4 projects I've selected for this class.

I'll share the rest once I've decided on them and made up the samples!

Until Next Time!
