You Can Make It! – Santa’s Workshop Cards. This is another post that is specifically aimed at people new to card making. BUT it is also full of great information on making lots of Christmas cards QUICKLY, so don’t stop reading just yet! The first thing to talk about is the ‘You Can Make It’ Product groups. These are in both the Annual and Autumn/Winter Catalogues and include everything you need for a selection of projects. The great thing about these is that you only have to use one Item Code and you will get EVERYTHING in the selection. Depending on the selection, you may need to add your favourite adhesive, but that is all.

Today I am looking at the Santa’s Workshop Cards selection on page 21 of the Autumn/Winter Catalogue. It is such a great selection for some really quick crafting AND, there is no need to be a confident stamper, because there is no stamping involved!! Perfect for a beginner.

The Santa’s Workshop Memories & More Cards and Cards & Envelopes work brilliantly together. These alone mean that you can make 20 amazing cards straight off the bat. Add a second set of the Cards & Envelopes and you can make 40!! The Memories & More Cards include 4 sticker sheets, so you can add some little extras along the way. But there are also the Enamel Shapes, which are just too cute. I did add a bit of Vegas Gold Shimmer Paint and some Wink of Stella, but these are only because I love BLING!

Santa’s Bags are the perfect size for mini gift giving. They are made of 100% Cotton, stitched in red and with a white drawer string. I would probably change the white draw string for the Garden Green and White Baker’s Twine, but that is just me! I have checked if you can stamp on the bags with Classic Ink and you can. The ink does not spread at all, but whether it would be permanent if you heat set it I can NOT guarantee. For waterproof, you are best using Stazon.

I really love this little set and the fact that it includes everything you need for so many wonderful Christmas Projects is just ideal. All for one item number. And one item number means that if you place a large order and get an item half price, this will count as one item!!! BONUS!!
