February Card Class Club- Water coloring

 


New Year, New Style of Card Classes!

February’s class will included the items for Water Coloring!

For 2025 we are giving you a choice between 2 stamp sets and are featuring different Techniques with each card class! You can add the bundles to your kit or order separately. 


Memorable Blooms Bundle with Kit $91


Darling Dinos Bundle with Kit $76


When you order the bundle with the kit, you can pick one Sale-a-bration product from the $60 list!

This club you can join at any time and pick and choose what classes to attend. There are club perks (see below)!

This club is being co-created by Lynda Day, one of my most talented Stampin' Friends! We will take turns designing each month. If you attend her class, you will be getting the exact some thing, just a different video. 

Below are some answers to some frequently asked questions. 

How Card Class Club Works?

Each month starting on the 1st I will open up registration for the next class. You have until the 10th to register and send payment. To sign up you use the monthly link: CLINK REGISTER BUTTON BELOW:https://forms.gle/UjgwwRbFerEkCmRD6

After the 10th I order all of the supplies, make the kits, and send out by the 25th of the month. You will get a pdf with the Tutorial (which you will be asked not to share) and a video showing how to make the cards (that you can share). 

There will be a Facebook Group option if you want to join to share your card creations and to see others cards made.

What Comes in the Kit?

In the kit you will get the paper product supplies to make 8 cards in 4 different designs.

Kit Includes

- 8 cardbases & envelopes

- died cut shapes

-$20 worth of Stampin' UP! products (embellishments, tools, ribbons, DSP, etc.)

Not in the Kit

-Inks

-Stamp Sets (unless you order it part of your class)

-Adhesives

-Scissors

-Clear Blocks


As a club member (you join my card club just by attending your first class) there are some extra perks! 

When you sign up for your 6th class (doesn't have to be in a row), you earned the stamp set from that class for FREE. 

Example: You attend 1. January 2. February 3. March 4. April 5. May 6. June 

Your JUNE kit would come with the stamp set used for the kit for FREE that month. 

There are BONUS Perks for Royal Hearts Stampers Team Members. Let me know if you want more details about that when you sign up for the class. 

Join by February 10th!

Happy Stampin' Everyone!!!
