Here it is, not even the 1st of December and I’m wanting to think past Christmas!!! Gosh, I’m almost as bad as those big box stores, aren’t I??? Hang with me for a minute please. I’m still decorating for Christmas so I’m not quite as bad as Wally World where the Valentine stuff is hovering at the backroom doors just waiting to mysteriously appear the day after Christmas. We have our 5 trees up, 4.75 of them are completely decorated (the remaining .25 takes a ladder to finish, and it’s already in my dining room waiting to be used this afternoon). That leaves the olive wood Nativity set and greenery/lights to fix the whole “Deck The Halls” thing. And the presents, and the wrapping, and the Stocking Stuffers, etc. See, I’m FAR FROM READY!!!!
Turning Christmas DSP Into Winter Themed Cards!!!
I’m still working on Christmas cards, but I have a pile of DSP from this year’s mini catalog remaining. Do you????? With the arrival of the Jan-April mini catalog just a month away, we are going to want to shift gears to spring themed paper, so this month we need to address how to get our Christmas DSP under contol and used.
THINK WINTER THEMED CARDS!!!! We still have New Year’s ahead and you need a few cards for that – seeing how you may have received a Christmas card from your brother-in-law’s third cousin on his mom’s side that you have no clue who they are but they sent YOU a card! New Year’s cards are perfect for them!
How about winter birthday cards??? Sympathy with a winter look????? Thinking of You???? I’m pretty sure there is a red background pattern in the Joy Of Christmas DSP that would work as a mat for a Valentine’s card too!!!! Don’t just assume Christmas DSP is finished when Dec. 25 arrives.
Winter Themed Card Class – December 7!!!!
So this week we are going to think how to turn our remaining DSP into winter themed cards, such as the one above using the One Horse, One Sleigh DSP. Our December card class – both available IN PERSON and ONLINE – is scheduled for Thursday, December 7 and yes, we will be using current DSP to turn into cards besides Christmas. This class will create 8 cards (two each of 4 different designs) that you can use in the months ahead while winter is here!!! Card kits are FREE with a minimum purchase. RSVP me by email flickoftherist@gmail.com, texting to 660-651-6997 or messaging me on FB to sign up.
Final Thoughts…..
I STILL am working on Christmas cards! I’ve close to 100 made, just putting them together and will finish that today during the Chiefs’ game. BUT I’ve more to make. I kind of think it’s tacky to send a card I made in a class to one of my paper crafting friends. What if they TOOK THE CLASS where we made that card??????? Tacky, Tacky, Tacky. So, I’ll need to churn out some last minute cards to send as well, but I’m getting there!!!!! Come back this week to see what other cards and ideas we can use to get the Christmas DSP used and in order!!! Have a wonderful Sunday, find time to do what you love, and God Bless!!!
