January Projects and Creativation News!

Good Morning!

Well, we made it to Phoenix on our whirlwind drive across Texas, New Mexico and then to Arizona.  It was a beautiful relaxing drive…BUT…I was so glad to see the lights of Phoenix last night.


I have a few things to share with you all the next few days…First, two new projects for January.  All the projects are preorder so that I can order the paper.

These projects can be found in my store and will be shipped no later than Feb. 1st and at that time the tutorials will be emailed to you...If you purchase the projects without paper (Comes with SVG files to cut your own paper with your digital cutter.) then they will ship out next week.

Over the next few days, I will be revealing all my CHA or Creativation projects, as I always do, starting tomorrow morning when the show opens...So excited to share them with you...Hope you like...See you back here tomorrow...

OK, back to The Gentleman Crafter January Projects...First up is...

The Valentines Violin!  








For those of you who requested a violin... for about 2 years now...It's Here!  Yahoooo!  The paper on the Valentines Violin will not be what is shown in the pictures above, however, I do have a bit of this paper left and if you email me, I could cut it in this paper collection.  As soon as I find a collection of paper for this violin (this weekend) I will sell the kit with paper.   

You can purchase the Valentines Violin HERE!

Or Here:



Luminary House Collection:  Ski Lodge!




The Ski Lodge is an addition to the Luminary House Collection...We are building a VILLAGE...LOL  Each month there will be a new house, castle, cottage or building for you to choose to add to your village collection.

The Ski Lodge is a romantic building covered with Authentique paper.  Sadly, it has a pair of skis that are propped up next to the front door.  They didn't make it into the picture but are included with the kit.  Looks so cute.  Just add a couple of battery operated tea lights and it's magic!  

When you preorder this kit, it will come with all the supplies needed to make it and a tutorial with .SVG files (To cut on your digital cutter) that will be emailed to you when the kits ship.

If you would like to purchase the Ski Lodge with paper click HERE!

Thank you so much and see you here on my website tomorrow to start the Graphic 45 CHA-Creativation Reveals!  Yahooo!
