I started by using our new Cable Knit Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Have you seen it? It’s extra-thick, and embosses extra-deep. Look for the video from Stampin’ Up! below to get tips and tricks for using it.
Anyhow, I used the Cable Knit folder on a panel of Very Vanilla card stock. It just reminds me of the fisherman’s sweaters that were (are?) so popular with that warm hue of white. Then I cut 6 of the small evergreen boughs from the Pretty Pines Thinlits Dies, four in Old Olive and two in Garden Green. I also cut two pinecones in Soft Suede.

- Gift card/money holders
- Wine/beverage bottle tags and wraps
- Treat packages with treats – perfect for Secret Santa, colleagues, stocking stuffers and more!
- This class will be a project “buffet” where you can choose the number of each type of treat package you want to make. The picture below shows only a few of the available options.
- Minimum class cost is $20 for 5 projects…additional projects can be added on.
