October Class

 Tag It Tuesday! We're making boxes of Christmas gift tags this month! They can be used as:  a little gift, a hostess gift,  at home for yourself, or you can "Elf" a couple neighbors. Have you ever been 'Elfed', 'Frosted', or 'Socked'? It's such a cute idea, to spread some love on your neighbors.

For Elf gifs you can: 

• put somc candy in a jar a tie a bow
• bake or buy cookies or pumpkin bread etc.
• Cookie mix in a jar (see ingredients below)
• make some Christmas cards or a box of tags

Put your gift on neighbors front porch with a sign and directions for the neighbor:

1. Enjoy you treats!
2. Place your "I've been Elfed" sign on your front door.
3. Now you have 24 hours to make 2 copies of directions, 2 elf signs and 2 sets of goodies to share with friends or neighbors.
4. Secretly deliver to 2 neighbors who haven't been Elfed
5. Watch how far this spreads by Christmas!

You've been Elfed! https://app.box.com/s/ue32tgk9ye6za7ssc735z3yqh7xszyh4

Assembly:

1. It is important to note that you will need to snip on the 9" side.  The folds won't work if you do it on the opposite side (along the 8-1/2 side)

2. Fold on score lines and burnish with bone folder to get crisp edges. Glue tabs in making sure to leave the largest tabs on the outside of the box so it looks nice.

3. Use Tag Topper punch to make the two cs tags. Use the punch on two DSP pieces to glue to one side of each cs tag.

4. Glue to the short ends of the box, then glue handle on the inside (behind tag).

5. Use embellishments and/or a bow to decorate the box.

6. Make 12 tags: If using Tag Topper punch, trim cs to 2 x 4 first. If using dies, grab paper and diecut:)

September Class

 Here are the projects we're creating this month. Using Sophisticated Sled, Hang An Ornament and Spotlight on Nature.

New Scrapbooking Products!!

 Hey There! Did you hear? We have a new companion scrapbooking brochure to the September–December 2024 Mini Catalog!  We are excited to introduce the September 2024 Scrapbooking Brochure.

Scrapbooking is another way to meaningfully craft. Preserving memories in a scrapbook album not only keeps your memories recorded and safe, it’s also a great way to share your memories with family and friends! The potential to strengthen relationships through scrapbooking is just one of the many reasons that makes us so excited for this new scrapbookingbrochure.

As mentioned above this brochure is a companion to the Fall Holiday catalog, meaning products in the brochure beautifully complement and coordinate with some mini catalog products. You’ll also find exciting new product lines like Two-Tone Cardstock in Stampin’ Up! colors!

This is a digital-only scrapbooking brochure, full of scrapbooking essentials and exciting new products. The products inside coordinate with products from the mini catalog (and some online only products, too!). With Workshop Kits and some new product releases Two-Tone Cardstock, we hope this adds variety and inspiration to your holiday crafts this year!  

Happy Scrapbooking!
