Longmont Senior Center - February 24, 2025

Once a month I do a class at the Longmont Senior Center with a fellow teacher, Cathy Hansen. We offer a Christmas card every month which gives them a bit of a head start on this year's Christmas cards! This month was my month to design the Christmas card and here's what I came up with:

Additionally, there were some Real Red and White Adhesive Backed Peppermints to add to the front! The card base is Old Olive with a layer of Mossy Meadow. The dsp is from a pack of Christmas paper called Season of Green and Gold. The stamp is a Lily of the Valley digital stamp that I colored with Stampin' Blends and scanned. The inside has a basket of holly and a sentiment (also computer generated).

This is my second card:

I used one of the images from Mixed Florals stamp set that I had colored with Stampin' Blends and cut out with a die from Scalloped Contour dies. The dsp is from the Toadstool Gardens 6x6 set of paper and it is embossed with Botanical Swirls from Creative Expressions. The card base is Gorgeous Grape and then a layer of Peach Pie. The sentiments, both inside and outside. are computer generated. The front sentiment was punched with the Oval Punch and then layered onto a Scalloped Oval Gorgeous Grape punched piece.

This is a very popular class and fills up very quickly. You can register online at the Longmont Senior Center website.
