Card Class Club October- A Child is Born

 


Card Class Club Creations!!!
Check out October's cards and join me for November's kit! 
A Child is Born
Each card shows a different way to use similar images!


This card shows a one ink only method for that Nativity image by spotlighting it with the Spotlight on Nature Dies. 


This card features the Stampin' Blends. Our Alcohol based markers that create easy coloring. 


This card might be my favorite. Not only are we showing some specialty paper (vellum and glimmer) but we heat emboss the Nativity image and then torn around the edges for this "rustic" look. 


This one features just the manger and is a fun fold! 
You can get all of the supplies I used to make these cards over on my online store. Use the images below to take you there to shop!
