Well, I am SO excited to have finally found a perfect location to begin holding local card classes! It's been what seems like an eternity since moving away from my former home where I held monthly classes for up to 8 at a time for years and years. And by contrast my new home is hardly big enough for ME to stamp solo! So this search for the "perfect" place to hold classes again has taken me a mighty long time. (Believe me, I had a LONG list of requirements as to what I was looking for…… yes, with THIS many years' experience I kinda had those things figured out.)
So it was with a mixture of extreme excitement (and yes, a little nervousness) that I launched my new monthly card class series just one week ago today – right here in Post Falls. And I look forward to working with the lovely ladies I met and getting to know them (and their friends) more in the future. Hurray! I'm back in the saddle – but with the new twist that card class will now always be "pack-it-up-and-take-it-with-me" style.
We'll be doing 6 full-size cards every month: 2 each of 3 different designs. I've added a couple of other fun tweaks, too, but won't go into that here 'cuz I haven't even had a chance to share 'em with the ladies at class. But I did want to share the 3 designs my guests made last week, so I'll bring you this first one today and share the other two later on.
As I was starting to consider what I would design for this first class I met a lady who seemed really excited about joining us and learning to stamp, and she came right out and asked me if we could please do a Christmas Card. Well of course I told her sure thing….. and then as it turned out she never signed up for class. Oh well, I hope the others enjoyed "her" card anyway! 🙂
This features the "Bright & Beautiful" stamp set from the Holiday Catalog, along with the Stars Framelit set in the 2014-2015 Annual Catalog. The upper part of the front is embossed with the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder, and the lower section features a couple of pieces from the "All is Calm" Specialty Designer Series Paper collection. (May I just mention here how much I adore that DSP collection?!?)
I'll be sending a complete review of how we created this card (supplies & step-by-step instructions) to the ladies who attended this class, as well as to my Paper Dreamers team. If you'd like the instructions for how to make my future monthly Card Class designs – come join us at class, host a class for your own friends (yes, we might even be able to swing a distance class; just ask), or join my Paper Dreamers team!
