A Very Busy November Workshop

Let's get it started!!! Because December is such a busy month, our November workshop is our final workshop for 2012.  I decided we'd make two cards, one gift card holder and a notepad.

I cased the idea for this notepad from Holly Krautkremer (Stampin' Up Demonstrator).  The notepads were purchased from Michaels. 



Some of the gals gave there notepad as a gift.  I made several as appreciation gifts to family and friends.  Wow were they a hit!  I wish I had made more.  If you would like the directions for this project, send your request to sjsmith20@frontier.com and I'll e-mail them to you.  Thanks Holly for sharing this cute design!

The twist fold card has become very popular.  Not only is it a greeting card but you can enclose either a gift card, check or cash.  I found this one on Sandi Maciver's Blog and just knew my gals would love it.

This cute little snowman is from the No Peeking stamp set and was perfect for the holidays.  But you can make it for any occasion.

In our holiday catalog, Stampin' Up introduced bundling coordinating products together for a discount.  I used the Ornament Keepsakes stamp set and Framelits Dies to make this beautiful card, and by purchasing them together I saved 15%!
