Sharlene A: November 1, In Person, Claus and Company

You know Christmas is near when you see the Big Guy himself! Mr. and Mrs. Claus, along with their band of merry elves, are the stars of these sweet holiday cards—and oh, don't they make you smile!

Spend a joyful day playing with colored pencils and Gamsol on pre-stamped images as you create fancy fold cards (including a z-fold and a step card) and a festive tag. And of course, no Christmas card is complete without a touch of glitter! We'll be using the new Jamie Rodgers Crafts Gemstone Glitters to add stunning, easy accents that sparkle with holiday cheer.

It’s a day filled with fun, creativity, and festive magic.
