Unwrap the excitement of crafting each day for twelve days with my Have a Crafty Christmas offering. Open one package every day to discover a special holiday card or project to create at your leisure. Each packet contains all of the cut and die cut ingredients you’ll need to complete the day’s special design, including a project sheet with a photo and instructions. In addition, you’ll be able to reuse the packaging for holiday gifting.
For just $75 (+ $10 to ship), you receive twelve holiday themed cards and/or projects, the Traditional Labels Photopolymer Stamp Set, a full package of Traditional Sparkling Sequins, and a surprise or two. You’ll find greeting cards, a gift card holder, a tag, and ornament and more.
Here’s a sampling of some of the bags!
To order the Have a Crafty Christmas offering, complete this Google form. I’ll then send you a PayPal invoice. When the invoice is paid, I’ll order your stamp set and ship your kit in early November.
If you already have the Traditional Labels Stamp Set, you’re welcome to substitute a stamp set of equal or lesser value ($19). Just let me know when you fill out the form. Subject to availability.
You’ll also need Real Red, Old Olive, and Secret Sea ink pads to complete the projects as well as adhesives. (Memento Black may be substituted.)
Complete this collection at your own pace. Reveal and make one project each day, or do them all in one day. It’s up to you! Enjoy your experience!

Want to make your own Christmas cards this year? I’m offering an opportunity to create 21 handmade cards with Stampin’ Up!’s Joyful Days Memories and More Card Pack. There’s no stamping involved, but you’ll make gorgeous cards — three each of seven designs for $50 (add $10 if you want this kit shipped to you).
Two Class Choices
You can pay for this class to go and receive it in the mail. Or, if you’re local to Mesa, Arizona, you can gather to make these cards in person during a work-at-your-own pace atmosphere. (Seats are limited.) Class to be held at or 10 a.m. Saturday, November 1, at my home in East Mesa.
You’ll make three each of the seven designs for a total of 21 cards. If you’re local to Mesa, Arizona, you’re welcome to pick up your class packet to save on shipping.
You’ll receive all of the ingredients, including extra layers, envelopes, ribbon, and embellishments (including a full package of the Traditional Sparkling Sequins) to create the cards, as well as a simple PDF. Created with Stampin’ Up!’s Joyful Days Memories & More Card Pack, these cards don’t require stamping. If you take this class to go, you’ll need to supply your own adhesives.
