Christmas Card Fun

Wow....once again it has been FOREVER since I have posted.....ugh.  Sorry

Today I would like to share some Christmas Card Kits.  I want to thank fellow CTMH Consultant Brenda Rose for sharing her inspiration.  She is so talented!

Now on to the cards.  There are 18 different cards in each kit, all cut, die cuts and stamped for you. You just need to assemble them using the guide that I have put together for you.  These great cards feature our Picture My Life Christmas Overlays, Clear Sparkles and glittery snow flakes made using our Snow Flake Thin Cuts. 

I have created two versions of the cards...one using the elegant Sea Glass and Gold colors of the Oh Deer paper pack and the other using the more traditional Christmas colors of the City Sidewalks paper pack.  Both have sparkles and glitter!  (of coarse!)  Each kit includes card bases & envelopes, a full pack of the Picture My Life Christmas Overlays, Clear Sparkles, pre-cut papers, pre-stamped images and Snowflake die cuts out of our sparkly glitter paper.  Before you know it you will have 18 hand made Christmas Cards to send to friends and family.

The kits are $30 each plus $6.45 for Priority Mail postage. (Local peeps can make arrangements to meet up and save the shipping costs.)  Or you can come to one of my Chat & Scraps or Card Buffets and assemble them in my studio.  Click on the Calendar tab above for my schedule.  Both versions of the kit are all ready to go....drop me an email at Susieque@sbcglobal.net to order.

Here are some close ups of the cards......

Thanks for looking....hope to hear from you soon.....

New...Project Kits

So I have been busy in the Glitter Queen's Studio and I want to share with you what I have come up with.

I have decided to design and offer Project Kits using Close To My Heart papers and embellishments.  My kits will include everything you will need to complete the project, including all papers, embellishments and a workshop guide created by me with all cutting guides and assembly instructions you will need.

Here are my first three kits.  Each kit makes six layouts and features a different CTMH paper pack. Click on the 'Project Kits' tab above for all of the details and how to order.

Thank you for looking.  I hope you saw something you like.
