Hi Crafty Friends! This post has all of the cards from BOTH class videos. My goal with this online class is to help you get your Christmas Cards created with plenty of time to send them out this year.
All the prep work is done for you! There's minimal stamping, and it's mostly assembly. There is also no embellishment included with this class - this allows me to ship these kits out faster (don't have to wait for an order to arrive) and you get to use up what's in your stash!
You'll make (8) different cards in this class. Envelopes are included. Each day's cards feature beautiful, but different papers and colors.
Here are the cards -
NOTE: I usually do not provide measurements for my online classes, but this is a special, quick release class and I am not making a PDF...so enjoy!!!

Our third card is a WOW, but simple. The Copper foil really makes this one stand out. The Merriest Frames Hybrid folder/dies really does all the work here (HINT: this hybrid folder/dies set will be on sale 60% off on December 1st!). I've got a different fold for the base, which adds a little more interest.
I embossed the greeting with Copper embossing powder to tie in with the foil.

Watch the video from Day 2 - click HERE if there is no video below.
Snowflake is glued on the square layers, and that's all popped up. I used a post-it note to mask off the stamp, so I could get just the words "Tis the Season". Stamp that in Fresh Freesia.

Next up, you'll build your own snowman out of circle punches. Hand-cut and build the hat from Black scraps. I wanted the focus to stay on the gorgeous Snowflake Vellum. This iridescent pattern is so pretty! Layer it directly on the same size piece of Basic White, so it really stands out.
Paper measurements:
- Tahitian Tide: 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored and folded in half at 4 1/4"

Add some Gold Holly Leaves and Red Rhinestons to the hat. Finish off with Classic Matte Dots in black for his eyes and mouth.
Greeting is popped up, but nothing else.

Last card is probably my favorite. All this stark white and GLITTERY paper is so sparkly and pretty!!! I also give a demonstration of how I watercolor on regular Basic White Thick cardstock. You probably can't tell, but I did pounce my Clear Wink of Stella pen all over my birdie.
