City Sidewalks Holiday Card Workshop



The City Sidewalks 20 card workshop is ready to go!
Like my fall workshop with Swan Lake, it uses just a quarter of a pack of the X7213B City Sidewalks My Reflections paper pack plus cardstock, extending this beauty to up 80 cards if you cut up a whole paper pack.

How to get it

  • RSVP w/ payment to one of my Saturday workshops on October 8th, 10-3pm or November 12th, 12-4pm
  • Order a pre-cut kit to pick up or arrive via mail
  • Order the supplies on my website and get the instructions for free.  

Want just the cutting diagrams and the ability to use this with your own friends & customers?  Keep reading!  Then hop on over to my website.


This snowflake is 3" in diameter!  And the silver glitter paper cuts beautifully without a lot of glitter floating around the house. This workshop uses the brand new Snowflake Thin Cut dies from Close to My Heart and just a little M-sized stamp set!

Here's the second snowflake.  It's a bit smaller at 2" but just as beautiful.

Workshop Details:
  • 20 cards:  3 each of 6 designs plus 2 of design #7 
  • 20 card bases & envelopes
  • All papers pre-cut
  • Includes your choice of M-sized stamp set
  • 1 pack of red enamel gems included (tons left over)
  • Cranberry & Peacock inks needed, available at my workshops
  • Full color assembly guide included.
  • Bring your favorite paper adhesive & mini-glue does
  • Place your order by Friday, October 28 & receive your choice of a second mini-stamp set for free!

Here's the 5 recommended stamp sets for this kit.  They're also available in Spanish & French.
View them on my website here and let me know when you place your order.

20 card kit: October 8 or November 12 or local pick up in Everett, WA 




Deadlines
Kindly order your kit at least 10 days before a workshop if at all possible so I have time to order supplies and cut your kit.  Kits will be shipped just after the 15th or 30th of the month, depending on when I receive the supplies for your order.  I may need to order your stamps and or snowflake thin cuts.  This kit will only be available until December 10, 2016.

Leap Into the Holidays!


Every year, I say to myself, "I need to get a jump on the holidays."  This year, let's do it!

1st Leap Day:  Saturday October 8, 2016  10-3pm in Everett at Pinehurst Baptist Church.  
2nd Leap Day:  Saturday, November 12, 2016, noon-4pm at my home in Everett

If you want to attend the October leap, please RSVP by October 1, 2016.  There's no crop fee, but you will want to bring a snack and or potluck lunch item to share and your craft tools & supplies.  We'll be joining a few ladies from the Pinehurst Baptist Church crafting group.  

The plan is to bring or order kits to work on of your choice.  I won't be teaching a specific workshop.  I will have a small basket of adhesive & other items to buy.  Please plan & pre-order. 

The Close to My Heart Holiday Expression debuted last week and has some wonderful kits and of course I've cooked up a couple of my own.

Everyone can order these kits, even if you're not local or attending.  Shipping may vary and some items may actually be a little less if directly shipped to you if you have a lower sales tax.
