Graphic 45 Christmas Caboodle












































































































This Graphic 45 Christmas paper is wonderful! Love it! Had to make a caboodle of cards! Those of you who know me, know I get excited about paper.....sometimes it even talks to me (not out loud, of course!) and begs to be used on a paper project. When paper begs, I listen....I've finally stopped trying to resist...it's futile. At any rate, we're going to make 12 cards in this class, so that should help everyone get a good jump start on your Christmas card list this year...unless you're someone who is going to send out oodles of cards, then you can take the Christmas caboodle coming up in November, and get some more done!


























Here's what to bring to class besides your basic crafting kit:


1/16th hole punch OR brad setting tool

Sentiment stamp

Clear stamp block (if needed)

Linen or Fabric like background stamp

Antique linen distress dye ink

Black dye ink

Red dye ink (Fired brick distress ink)

"Stamp" scissors (have the postage stamp edge)
