Christmas Card Workshop

This past week, I had my Christmas card workshop.  I used what was called "The One-Sheet-Wonder" that I found on Deb Valder's site:  http://www.stampladee.com.  As much as I love CTMH's beautiful Christmas paper, I fell in love with the jewel tones in the Sangria Paper kit.  Then match that up with very blingy gold embellishments and I think it makes for a wow-factor.  Here are the cards:

Christmas Workshops - Part 2

The second Christmas Workshop this year was the annual Christmas card workshop with the new Sparkle & Shine papers only available until December 31st (as are all the Christmas stamps in the Holiday Mini Gift Guide).

This workshop was from Vicki Wiznuik, an amazingly talented Canadian consultant.  There were 5 styles of cards.  The first set is done with the Striped side of the bulk paper.  Here is the result:

The second side was done with the polka dotted side of the bulk paper. What a different look!
