July Holiday Stash Builder - Kelly

Another installment of the Holiday Stash Builder is coming up.  This month we will be focusing on the Sizzix Tim Holtz Colorize dies.   

What is the Holiday Stash Builder?  This is a monthly craft session in which you will be able to make holiday cards curated from some of your favorite brands.  Each month we will focus on select products from one of those brands.  This will include a combination of stamps, dies, stencils, embossing folders, etc.  Kelly will have inspiration cards using these great products that you can follow but you are also encouraged to be creative and come up with your own designs.  Here's the fun part of this program - you choose which cards you make.  Kits will not be prepared in advance.  You will stamp, die cut or emboss using the selected products from the inspiration cards.  You only have to bring some basic supplies and your creativity.  Pre-registration required.  See details below.
