Gala Class Christmas Cards!

 Hello, My Stamping Friends!

I know that everyone is busy with baking, shopping, and sending those pretty Christmas cards you've been making!  I wish I could be so efficient as my friends that have their cards arriving by 1 or 2 days after Thanksgiving!  But, Ree?  I'm afraid not!  We have a cold spell coming next weekend and I think that will be perfect for Ree!

We had a fun gathering last Friday to create 6 cards--2 each of 3 designs.  We die cut, fussy cut, colored, embossed, heat embossed and fancy folded.  We especially enjoyed each other's company. The best!!!!

Time to Make Cards!

 Hello, My Stamping Friends!

We are enjoying a beautiful sunny Florida day, this Dec. 8!  I'm preparing for tomorrow's Christmas Card Gala class.  We'll make 2 cards each of 3 designs.  We'll emboss, heat-emboss, die cut, and my favorite, fussy cut.  I love fussy cutting because it gives you a few minutes of relaxation and concentration.  The room goes quiet as everyone snips their project.

We still have classes this month in Cocoa Village, Cocoa Beach and Titusville.  Email me to join one of our classes (reenathan6@gmail.com)   Our SOS stamp club will enjoy our annual dinner, prepared by me, and swaps meeting at the end of the month.

For your inspiration, here are some of the Thanksgiving and birthday cards I received in November.  One thing that really amazed me were two cards, one made in Ohio and one made in South Carolina and they are so very similar!  Cindy and Nancy you must have been on the same wavelength!  I love your cards!!

Cindy, my SIL/Demo created the first card in Ohio and also created the beautiful fall design.  Oksana, my "teacher" created this beautiful floral card.  I love that Paper Pumpkin Kit!!

This pretty Christmas Tree card is from Demo Nancy in S. Carolina!  My DIL, Kathy, found this great "Flamingo Card" at a gift store. Friend/Demo Linda made this beautiful floral easel card.

Here is Nancy's version from S. Carolina.  This darling Christmas card is from Demo/Charlotte.  I love the snow!!  Another spectacular card from Linda!

All of these gals are so creative!  They inspire me!!

Here are some of the (shhhhhhhh) Stampin' Up coffee mug holders and gift card containers I made for my Downline team.  They are the best!!

Have a great day and I'll be back in a few days to report on our Christmas Gala Class!

Stampin' Smiles and Hugs,
Ree
