Festive Greetings Class!

I am sure many of you are busy creating your Christmas greeting cards and tags and possibly looking for inspiration or a creative break. So, I wanted to share this info about a class that I am teaching at a crop on November 23rd from 1 - 3 pm in Calgary. In the photo above, at far left is a card that doubles as a gift, the ornament in the center is removable and may be used as a magnet or an ornament. Next center bottom is a gift card holder which incorporates Spirelli thread wrapping. Far right is a square greeting card which also incorporates Spirelli wrapping and center top is a festive tag. The fee is $20.00 for the class. You do not have to be registered for the crop to take the class. Participants please bring your basic paper crafting kit with scissors, double-sided tape such as Scor-Tape, runner tape, foam mounting tape/dimensionals, paper trimmer, and bone folder.

Please register for the Festive Greetings class in advance directly through Sharon by email sharonmreinhart@yahoo.ca no later than Nov. 21st, 2013. On site class registration will depend on availability. Register for the crop OR the classes OR both! This crop is hosted by Joanne Liddy-McTavish and is being held at the Woodcliff United Church 5010 Spruce Drive SW. Contact Joanne to register for the crop at jliddymct@shaw.ca. The fee for the crop only is $40.00 per person.  Hope to see you!

Creatively Yours,

Christmas Angel Ornament

Thought I would stray from cards for this post and share an angel ornament. These ornaments are a breeze to make and great for use as ornaments, gift package decor or even as a beautiful accent on a bottle of wine or sparkling juice.
To begin, purchase the felt ornaments from Michaels (3 for 1.50). Then create an accordion rosette, for this rosette the Tim Holtz die was used. Layer a plastic glittered snowflake on top and then finish with a word accent in the center. Dec. 25th was punched from printed cardstock and layered in the center of the plastic snowflake. To cover the glued area on the back, punch a 1 1/2-inch cardstock circle and adhere to the back. To assemble most of these pieces together I found the use of a hot glue gun made for a quick fix. This ornament could also double as a card by temporarily attaching to a card front. Hope you like it!
Creatively Yours,
