Christmas Card Class Dec 7 starting right at 9:30AM before afternoon Christmas Papercrafting gift giving ideas

These are the Christmas cards  I have ready for a class, Dec 7th at 9:30 AM.  The cost is $8 for 6 cards. Please bring your own adhesive and scissors. 

 

 

 

 


   This card is embossed with stamping and some cutting involved. This is a favorite card from year to year.

 This stocking card is so cute. It is also embossed.

This stocking card can be used as a gift card holder or as a Christmas card .

  
This is just like the stocking card above but using different papers and patterns on the embossing, YOU can choose which card you prefer      

     



This quick card  teaches you how to rip paper for a frame vs a straight cut for the cardstock

The picture quality on this card doesn't do it justice, Close to my heart this year made stamps that have sparkle embellishments that surround that image. Such as the star and the tree. And I have used our new sparkle red trim to accent the card also.

 

Who can forget Rudolph?? Not me!!
I love this old paper pack and used it to show off one of my favorite reindeer.

 
Lastly using the same paper pack, and again using a favorite stocking stamp came along this card.

Getting ready for Christmas

 
  


 I copied this from Close to my Heart's Holiday catalog. I loved this tree the moment I saw it. It uses our paper pack Sparkle and Shine. And one of our CTMH cricut cartridges. Just love this.

 

 

  This is a little close-up so that you can see the detail in the yo-yo. LOVE CTMH PRODUCTS!!!!!!!

 

 

       I went to Dayton and crafted with a very good friend. I was able to get these cards done. Here I'm using up an old paperpack from 2011. These cards were all cased from the boards. I love this paper. I'm going to do a Christmas cards/ Christmas papercrafts day on Dec 7-  9:30 to 1200 noon cards and 12:30 to 3PM Christmas papercrafting gifts. Anybody interested???????

Christmas is only 52 days away

  
   I can't believe we are this close to Christmas already. I have bought half of my 6 grandchild's Christmas presents already. So glad to have that much done. SO that put me in the mood for a Christmas LO. I saw a cute LO done by another consultant -Michelle Snyder. I used some of her ideas for this layout. This is a quick layout- no stamping at all. It uses our dimensional elements. And you'll go home with more than half of what we used.

 

 

     This class will be held on Nov 18 at 7 PM. Please RSVP by Nov 10, so that I have enough of the elements for everyone. Please bring your own adhesive. The cost for this class is $12. There will be a cute Hershey tree to make also.

Deb's October Scrapbooking Class

         Ready for a FAll Layout Class???


Our new Huntington paper pack is perfect for a fall layout. Our Sept Stamp of the Month is the perfect choice for this layout. We are using our burlap ribbon as an accent.
Also the new Cricut Artbooking cartridge was used to create the title, flowers and stems. I love CTMH because of the way everything coordinates.
  This class is scheduled for Monday, Oct 21 at 6:30pm. With the simplicity of the layout it should only take 1 hour. The cost is $8.
And this time I won't leave the dessert in the oven( sorry to those that came to my Sept class). I was so excited about the Artbooking cartridge.
  Someone will go home with the stamp set we use.
  Please RSVP by Oct 18th please.

        Fall Events Scrapbooking Layouts

 Fall is my favorite time of the year. Changing leaves, pumpkin patches, and Trick or treat all mean fall fun for me. Here are a few layouts I completed this week.

New Close to my Heart Cricut Artbooking Layouts

I  LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the new Close to my Heart  Cricut cartridge ARTBOOKING . These layouts were done using it. The first one is a First day of school. I just love the fonts that are welded together, and the ruler is adorable. Did you notice the frame around the First day ?? The numbers are cut attached to the frame. There are approx. 16 different layouts that use just a few keys on the cartridge to accomplish the entire layout. So easy!!!!

 

 

 

The next layouts show off the overlays. I think they are over the top. They compliment the pages so well. This layout is using retired paper that matches my Florida pool water really well. And the layout shows off my grandson having fun. Again the layout used just a few keys on one page of Artbooking to cut the pieces for this layout(minus the fish and seahorse). 

 

       Fall is one of my favorite seasons. I sort of hoard fall colored paper. This paper is from about 9 years ago, but I love it. The tree overlay is awesome Then I used the cut outs of the leaves for a pattern to cut different papers for the look of leaves that are changing color. Again the welded words set the pages off.

       
          This next layout was one of my favorites from the get go. The ornament overlay is so cute. I used background and texture paper for a few frames, and to use behind the cut out ornaments.

                
          On this last layout, I used the same layout as above, but only used cardstock and no patterned paper. I really like the simplicity of this layouts also.                    

              The possibilities are endless with the new cartridge.
If you are interested- you can see my samples and layouts. You can order by going thru my online business account
scrappydeb.ctmh.com. I know you will love the cartridge as much as I do.

 

           Don't you just love the new Designer Frames from Close to my Heart. This kits has the frame, B size stamp set used on the mats, 33 precut kraft paper die cuts, 6 mini clothes pins, and 1 yard of baker's twine. I used brads to attach my diecut shapes to the photos that were adhered to cardstock, so that I can change out the photos and mats and still keep the die cut kraft mat to use again with new photos. I used a E sized stamp set for the banner title( not included in the kit). This came together in about an hour and that is with printing my photos also. LOVE LOVE LOVE this kit !!!!!. It will make a great Christmas present also. The kit sells for $35.95 I still have several pieces of precut dies  and some twine left for another project. You can buy the frame separately also for $26.95

ANYBODY READY FOR CHRISTMAS IN JULY???

 I'm ready for some Christmas in July. Are YOU????
I thought I'd do Christmas cards in July. Something easy, because of all the preparation of getting ready for convention this year. I made over 100 cards to swap in less than a month. I'm planning on a Saturday 9:30am class July 27th, or Monday July 29 class at 6:30pm. We will be making 8 cards for $10. Please RSVP by July 21 so that I can get everything cut and ready for you. Please bring your favorite adhesive also.

 

Then on August 10th at 10am I'm having an open house to show off our new products and idea book. I really love the new stamps and our new Cricut cartridge is amazing, awesome, and then some. You can see the new Cricut cartridge on my blog-debsdistressingscraproom.blogspot.com I will have samples available to touch and feel And I hope to have the Sept class example ready to show off. I am going to try to weed out my stamp sets-I have too many(lol). And I will have some used and new stamps to sell also. I need to make room for new products. Sure hope to see you here at Deb's scraproom. Email me for direction if needed.

  

Viva Convention Layouts

At convention we usually get a stamp set just for the consultants that attend. Corp already had a template ready for us to make 2 layouts. I changed mine somewhat. One of the consultants that I swapped cards with at convention made a Mickie Viva bookmark. I used that on my layout. I have the perfect pictures from the banquet of my new friends and our great food for this layout ordered from snapfish on their way.

 

Then the next layout is also using that same specialty paper and stamp set. It was supposed to be tone on tone(same color stamped ink on same color cardstock), but I used the colors in the paperpack to color the leaves and flowers. I thought it turned out really cute.

Close to my Heart has a new Cricut Cartridge

Just returned from convention and we have a new cricut cartridge. It's so neat.

 Close to My Heart has done it again and has given us

 ANOTHER fabulous Cricut cartridge called Artbooking !

  That makes three CTMH Cricut cartridges,

 each unique and different from the rest. 

 I use mine all the time, and love creating great projects with each.

Artbooking comes with 700 different cuts:

* 30 Themed DOUBLE Page Layouts (total of 60 layouts) all size coordinated

* 10 Themed Mini Albums (8x8, 6x6, 5x7) with minimum 8 pages each

* Full page and partial page overlays (square and rectangles of each overlay) which can also be used as stencils for inking or misting

* Many phrases

* Themed accessory images

 This cartridrge is great for cards, gifts or home décor, can be re-sized and used as pieces for many kinds of projects!  This cartridge was designed with the scrapbooker in mind, but can also used for cards and other papercrafts!

Watch for upcoming projects.
