Video Tutorial: A non-traditional Country-styled Christmas Card

Hello crafting friends!  Today I have a great little Christmas card and tutorial for you all.  I made this card for a class recently, and I had some great feedback on it!  So I thought you would like to see how I made it, and it might inspire some creations of your own!  I adore the Buffalo Check background stamp... it immediately changes the mood of the card as shown in this example!

I've also used the In the Pines bundle, and of course our fabulous Black glitter paper for a real "wow"!

Poinsettia Place Online Class: Sign ups open NOW until Friday 30th October


 Welcome to this month's Online Class!  If you love learning how to create your own gorgeous cards, but enjoy having a little direction... then this class is for you! I've prepared 3 gorgeous projects for you, together with a video tutorial to take you through them.  I did two of these projects at my Face to Face classes here in my home studio earlier this month, and I know the girls really enjoyed them.  But I also know that a lot of you are unable to get to my classes either because of distance or other difficulties, so this class is a great option for you!

There are 2 options to be part of this.... 1. a "Tutorial Only" option, and 2. All the supplies sent out to you via the mail. I've included details of each option below. Please note you do NOT need to own this bundle to do the class... you can substitute with supplies you may already have. 

My latest Online Speciality class is here!  This one features 3 cards PLUS a 3D project to make up.  There are two options to take part:


1. Tutorial Only - $20


No matter where you are in the world you are welcome to purchase the "Tutorial Only" option. I have set up a Paypal button for this. You will get the link to the video tutorial, and can follow the instructions using whatever stamps and products you have in your stash. (Please note I have used the Love of Leaves bundle. There are 3 cards in the tutorial that feature products from our current Aug-Dec mini catalogue, in particular the Poinsettia Place suite of products. But there are other products used as well. The cost for this option is $20aud. I have set up a Paypal button for this below.
2. Class pack and Tutorial.
If you are in Australia and would like me to send out the materials to make these projects as well as the video tutorial showing how to put it together then all you need to do is place an order of $50 or more with me through my ONLINE STORE and when you check out be sure to use the Host Code CYNYAD63. This Host Code will identify that you wish to be part of the class so that I can send the materials out. Click the SHOP NOW button to go shopping!

BUT PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO LIMITED SUPPLIES I HAVE TO PUT A CAP ON THIS CLASS - THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS WILL BE 15. AFTER THAT THE CLASS CODE WILL BE TURNED OFF AND NO MORE PACKS WILL BE SENT.
Please note that the materials sent out will include the die cut or punched shapes needed for these cards.... all you need to do is stamp them and assemble them together.

Video Tutorial: In the Pines Woodgrain card

 



Hello friends! Today I have a great little card for you. I made this one live on my Facebook page earlier this week, and I have posted it to my YouTube channel too. The video link is below.

I am showcasing the gorgeous "In the Pines" stamp set, and I've paired it up with some fabulous woodgrain paper from our "In Good Taste" paper pack. I think this card would make a fabulous card all year round... although this time I've made it more Christmassy with the Seasons Greetings sentiment. And how good would this combo work for masculine cards!!??

If you are in Australia and wish to purchase any of these products, please click the SHOP NOW button!
I hope you enjoy my card today! Click the picture below to view the video. Have a great day! Linda D

Video Tutorial: How to create a Sparkly Poinsettia Card

 


Today I have a new tutorial for you.... I've included all the instructions to make this lovely card.  This particular card was so popular when I uploaded it to my Instagram and FB pages.  So by popular demand I have created the below video.  

The card uses the Poinsettia Place bundle of stamps and dies, as well as the Snowflake splendor DSP - which just happens to be on sale right now (until the end of October). 

Here's a close up of the card, and I hope you enjoy the video.
