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.
To purchase this class and/or reserve your seat for the in-person class, please complete this form. Payment must be received to reserve a kit. Send either of the following payments: I accept Venmo (@Kim-Quade), Zelle (kimqskards@gmail.com or 402-617-7955), PayPal (kimqskards@gmail.com), or cash.
Note: I’ve priced this class so it’s affordable for you. I’d prefer not to send invoices as there are extra fees involved. Please see payment options above.
These kits are ready to be mailed and/or picked up now.
Thanks so much for your interest in this class. Please let me know if you have questions. I can be reached via email at kimqskards@gmail.com.

With the turn of the calendar to September, many cities, towns, and states can expect a shift to lower temperatures. The foliage begins to turn colors. Fall is on the way. My card sample today reflects those changes. Stampin’ Up!’s Gathering Together 12 x 12 Specialty Designer Series Paper definitely captures the beauty of fall. The colors include: Basic Beige, Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Early Espresso, champagne, and Old Olive.
