Craft Group Christmas Preparations

In the crafting world we’re already getting ready for Christmas. The TV Craft channels are advertising Christmas products and the paper suppliers are selling their Christmas paper ranges so at our meeting on Monday 15th August we will be starting on our first batch of Christmas cards.
You will need to bring a selection of Christmas papers with small patterns and some plain – you will not need large pieces so can use up your scraps for these cards. You will also need square card blanks, white and coordinating coloured card for matting and layering, bakers twine or embroidery thread in colours which coordinate with your papers, and ribbon and bling to embellish.
In addition to your basic crafting kit you will need a pencil and something with which to draw a circle, the inside of a roll of double sided tape is ideal, and also stamps with Christmas greetings (and ink) or peel offs if you prefer and foam pads.
Finally please bring along all the star punches you have as we will be using a selection of different sized stars to make our cards.
