There are not too many supplies needed for this class:
- Value pack of cards
- 2 pieces white cardstock
- 4 pieces red cardstock
- 2 pieces green cardstock
- 1 border punch or scalloped scissors
- Red and green ink for stamping
- 1 set holiday stamps
- Acrylic block for stamping
- 12" paper trimmer
- Paper adhesive
- Black pen
- Scissors
- Black or brown ink pad for distressing
- Foam Adhesive
- Notepad for note taking
The joy of this class is that it is even more fun to take with a friend. You can share all the supplies needed (except for the paper and the paper cutter) and have twice the fun!
If red and green are not your first choice (or you just want to stand out from the crowd) feel free to bring other color combinations. And Operation Christmas Card doesn't only collect Christmas cards. Alternate cards for other December celebrations will also be gratefully accepted. Cards for Yule, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa etc, are also needed.
This is a wonderful program for our troops but if you do not want to craft your own Christmas cards (or just don't have the time) you can always bring some store bought cards (with handwritten sentiments) for donation. There will be a donation box in the front of the store. Please donate cards with unsealed envelopes. And remember, if you have created a card in Spanish, French or German, please list this on the outside of the card. Michael's will be collecting cards for Operation Christmas Card through the first week of November. This is also a wonderful class / Boyscout / Girlscout / Brownie / service project.
If you will be unable to attend this event but still want to learn the techniques covered in this class, another class will be scheduled at the store with another instructor on the 22nd from 12:00 - 2:00. We will also be scheduling a crop night for later in the month.
