Christmas card / stamping 102 class supply list
In this class you will make 8 christmas cards, but the focus will be on techniques to make your stamping stand out a little more. I called it stamping 102 because it isnt totally basic ( I could probably use some totally basic tips myself i.e. how to get nice clean images) I will be discussing flocking, glittering, embossing, coloring, and a resist technique all in relation to your stamped images.

If you don't like or the shop runs out of the suggested stamps, feel free to substitute any image and sentiment stamps. Just alter the embossing and flocking and glittering accordingly - I used reds on the santa costume, white or clear on the beard, black or clear on the belt and shoes, and green on the pants. So if you choose, say, a deer stamp - get brown flocking.

you will need
2 pieces of red cardstock: Image
3 pieces of white cardstock

and one each of the following:

choose one or more of the following: I will use all of them, but feel free to choose the one(s) you like the most, although I recommend the red flocking as top priority because I used it a lot and it helps with getting used to the idea of the glue pen.

I have the doodlebug glitter assortment, but in this project I only used red glitter. (I would have used the white but I couldnt find mine)

Glossy Accents is my new favorite thing and I could buy it by the gallon, but they also sell it in a mini bottle in case you just want to try it. I am including links for both sizes here.

optional: I will use some of these, but you can substitute other tiny alphas if you prefer.

other that you will need to have: AT LEAST one black DYE ink ink pad and one black pigment ink pad for edges - I prefer this color box kind. and of course a clear block to use with the clear stamps if you dont have one already

other products of interest:
I use an old broiler pan as an alternative to the glitter tray, or you can just be careful to keep your flock or glitter or embossing powder on a scrap paper, but if you are worried about mess you could get a glitter tray. I use the doodlebug glitter assortment that was listed above, but here are other glitter assortments. I use plain clear microbeads, but here is an assortment if you are interested. I dont have white flocking powder, but I would have used it if I had it.

Also - I make the cards to fit 'invitation envelopes' that I got in a big pack at Staples. those envelopes are 4 3/8 x 6 3/4 so I make the cards 6x4.5 so that I can get two cards out of each sheet of cardstock. You can either go buy some invitation envelopes, or remember to resize the cards when the class starts and use these A2 size envelopes (you would need to make your cards about a half inch smaller on the long side.)

Do you know when this class will be scheduled yet? I just realized I may not be around much on Sunday, but would love to do this class.
