Are you already thinking about Christmas cards? I sure am! In fact, I already have all the supplies ready to go to create the Creative Scrapbook Magazine handmade cards to mail to all our advertisers, store owners and team members! Each and every year at The Great Canadian Scrapbook Carnivals – my mom and dad – create our Christmas cards for us!  I am so lucky. This year is no exception. When you attend our events, you will see them both scrapbooking away in the crop area creating hundreds of Christmas cards. YES I am very spoiled 🙂

Cathie Allan
This year the beautiful and extremely talented Cathie Allan will once again be teaching at both our events in Calgary and Edmonton.

Her classes are PACKED with years of stamping and inking knowledge.  Everything she creates starts with white cardstock. YEP – plain old white cardstock. She teaches you to look at your stamps differently, how to take your ink to new levels, how to shade, how to highlight – EVERYTHING associated with stamping and inking. Honestly – if you are looking for tips and techniques to take your stamping new level – whether you are a beginner or a seasoned stamper – Cathie’s class is for you.

Bevy of Backgrounds
One of the classes Cathie will be teaching is called a Bevy of Backgrounds. You will create these three Christmas cards to take away from the class with you. The cards feature a wide array of Clearsnap ColorBox products and the techniques will knock your socks off.

But more than that – you will take away so much knowledge for the next project you create. What you will learn is way beyond a Christmas theme – you can apply these techniques to ANY THEME!
