Christmas Gift Cards

This year I gave my teenage niece and nephew gift cards for Christmas. I have discovered this allows them to get something they want which is usually quite different to what I think they might like.

I made each of them a gift card in the form of a waterfall card using the stamp set Holiday Lineup. I just love the characters in this stamp set and although it requires a bit of colouring the final product is well worth it.

The first card used the Christmas Elves with each one saying a short message. This meant I only had to colour the elf that was speaking on each section of the card. As you pulled down the card the full message was revealed.

The second card used the Snowmen and worked in the same way.

The gifts were well received and everyone was happy.

WORKSHOPS AND CLASSES

I run all kinds of classes and do traditional workshops or "Parties". A Workshop is free. A hostess (that could be you) holds the event, sends out invitations and provides simple refreshments. I demonstrate 2 projects (usually a card and a 3D item) and everyone gets to make them. Orders are placed, and the hostess can order Hostess benefits - free Hostess-only stamp sets or merchandise from the catalogue!

A Stamp-a-Stack is exactly as it sounds - the group get to make a stack of cards in a short amount of time. They can be held in my home or yours, cost is $20 (cash) for 8 cards.

A Technique Class is where you can learn more complex stamping techniques. You make a technique sample, 1 or 2 cards with envelopes (depending on the complexity) and take home technique notes for $20.00 (cash).

Stamp Club - 6 people are needed to make a stamp club. Stamp Club meets every 2nd month. You make a project each meeting. $50 is required to be spent by each club member on Stampin' Up products every meeting. Each person gets a turn at receiving the hostess benefits. We meet at my house, I supply tea/coffee and the Hostess for each gathering provides light refreshments. Contact me if you are interested in being in a Stamp Club.
