October 17 Card Class - Christmas Cards, Caron

Here are the cards from this past Card Class. The theme was Christmas Cards. It's hard to believe that Christmas is just around the corner! For those of you who weren't able to make it to class, or just simply purchased kits, there are still a few spots left for this Saturdays Card Crop. October 27th, 12n-8pm, $5.00, includes snacks and drinks. I'll have lots of new Christmas Card samples for you to look at, plus some Cards from the "past". Copy the ones I have on display or create your own! Hope to see you there. I can't wait!

This first card has a pocket on the front. Be sure to put adhesive only on the sides and bottom of the patterned paper to make a "pocket". Adhere the ribbon strip across the top of the patterned paper. Make the bow by taking the middle sized ribbon and putting a glue dot on the back center of the ribbon. Bring the sides into the center and flip the ribbon over. This creates the bow. Trim around the snowflakes and add one to the center of the ribbon bow.

The greeting that slips into the pocket is simple. I used glue dots on the ribbon to adhere it to the front/back of the greeting. Adhere your other snowflake on the front of the ribbon.

This second card looks more difficult, but is simple to assemble. Start by glueing the patterned paper to the top of the card (dots). Second, matte the Happy holidays with the green strip of cardstock and adhere to the top of the card. Using foam tape or pop dots, adhere the matted pattern paper to the top left of the card. Before you do this, you will want to punch three holes and tie the ribbon through. You will also notice that the green and patterned corners that are in your kit are at the top left of the square, and at the bottom right of the card. Place the green corner at the very edges, and then the red patterned paper corners just slightly off these.

This card is simple to assemble also.

You'll notice that I put the ribbon through the button and tied it in a knot. A simpler way to do this would be to tie the ribbon in a knot and glue dot it to the card. I also used a glue dot to adhere the button.

Before you add your greeting to the top of your card, you will want to shape the dotted ribbon in a "V" and staple it to the upper lefthand corner of the greeting. I also used foam tape or a pop dot to pop up the greeting on this card.

Again, a very simple card. Before you adhere the red cardstock to the top of the card, you will want to adhere the patterned paper and the ribbon to the cardstock. You will need to trim the ribbon or just tuck it behind the cardstock and gluedot.

Punch three holes in the scalloped circle and tie ribbons through before adhering to the front of the card.

This stacked Christmas Tree is easy to assemble. I angled my pieces of the tree, but you could leave them straight also. It's totally up to you. Trim out the star and adhere to the top of the tree.

Tie the gingham ribbon in a loose knot and put the brad through the knot and spread the brad apart. Then gluedot the brad and ribbon to the bottom of the tree.

I hope you guys enjoy these cards. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to leave them at this blog and I will get back to you.

Blessings!
