25 Days of Christmas Activities- A Garland of Pockets $30.00

This is a garland of 25 handmade pockets featuring Echo Park Paper Company collection Everybody Loves Christmas. Each of these pockets is handmade-a few of them are actually hand stitched (we did that part for you!). We also added some wonderful exras like felt, pom poms, jewels and jingle bells. This project is a wonderful way to highlight all of the fun Christmas traditions in your family, each day has a tag or card insert for you to write something to do that day like decorate the Christmas tree, make Christmas cards, drive around and look at Christmas lights, make cookies, go caroling, watch a special movie, etc. We also provide you with a list of ideas to help you fill up those 25 days. For more views of this project watch our YouTube video at the bottom of the post.



In addition to your regular tools like paper trimmer and scissors, bring both wet and dry adhesive for this class, foam tape or pop dots, brown chalk ink or distressing ink, Scor Pal or scoring tool and ruler and a hole punch or Cropadile.








Merry Christmas Shadow Box- $40.00

Well our favorite designer Tim Holtz has done it again, this time with a set of new shadow boxes called Configurations. Each box can be removed so you can re-configure the project however you like it-brilliant! We combined this cool new shadowbox with the Holly Jolly colletion by My Minds Eye for a truly beautiful Christmas display. We also added in some vintage looking ornaments, jingle bells, beautiful ribbon and trim and so many more fun details. We are still working on our sample and will post a new picture as soon as we get it done. This project will look spectacular on your mantle, as a table centerpiece (it is decorated on the back) or even hanging on the wall. The finished project is two pieces, 8.75 x 10.75 inches with space for a 5x7 photo and many smaller photos.


In addition to your regular tools like paper trimmer and scissors, bring both wet and dry adhesive, brown chalk ink or distessing ink, Scor Pal or scoring tool and ruler and non stick craft mat. Paint and paint brush are provided with this kit.
