Christmas Workshop Frenzy!

Well, I've been busy and having loads of fun creating a bunch of project samples for the holiday season. There are a number of workshops you can choose from and as I mentioned in my last post, you have a choice of coming into the studio to complete the projects, or arranging for "take out" or delivery ("delivery" will depend on location). I've noted which workshops / projects are take-out only, and which ones you have a choice of in-studio or to collect (or have delivered) to complete at home. (In studio sessions can be one-on-one or small groups of two or three with masks required for the duration of each session.) For take-out options, I will be able to offer contactless pickup at my studio and can coordinate delivery on the North Shore if desired, or optional mail delivery for other locations.

As well as the Christmas-themed projects, I also have a limited number of "COVID Comfort Cards" (these do not have a Christmas-theme) to connect with those around you (see the photos at the end of this post).

Taylored Expressions, one of my favourite stamp companies, has also produced a wonderfully whimsical set of New Years sentiments that I can't wait to play with (stay tuned!).

How it Works

Take-out kits are generally $5 less (some exceptions may apply) than delivery or in-studio kits. Kits for delivery are the same as in-studio options, to cover postage, when required. Take-out and delivery kits will not include the adhesives that are usually provided in-studio. If you do not have your own adhesives, you can purchase a "starter kit" of adhesives for $10 (including taxes). This kit includes a refillable tape runner (double-sided tape), four sizes of foamies, and three sheets of glue dots (36 dots) and in most cases, will cover more than one workshop project.

Each workshop / project is listed below, with more details. Please email me (pamdemoniumstudio@gmail.com) if you're interested in these workshops, and we can coordinate an in-studio session, a take-out pick up time, or delivery. Where there are limited quantities, requests will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

Whimsical Holiday Cards

These six whimsical cards are sure to spread the warmth of the holiday season.

All of the stamping is done and you will have a great time assembling the cards (only one card requires a small amount of colouring).

The cost for this workshop is $30 including taxes for in-studio creation and post-delivery, and $25 including taxes for take-out.

An envelope is provided for each card.

Holiday Card Marathon

The annual Holiday Card Marathon workshop is always popular. You will be able to make three each of six card designs, for a total of 18 cards.

This photo shows three of the six designs, which are a mix of traditional and whimsical greetings.

The cost for this workshop is $45 including taxes for in-studio completion and $40 including taxes for take-out. Due to the bulk of the materials for this workshop, the cost for delivery will take into account shipping costs if going by Canada Post (calculated once I determine your location).

Silly & Snarky Christmas Cards

This workshop is another holiday favourite and adds a bit of a giggle to the Christmas season.

Here are three of the card designs I currently have prepared, but there will be a total of six cards in this workshop.

The cost for this workshop is $30 including taxes for in-studio and delivery options, and $25 for the take-out option. Coordinating envelopes are included.

** Due to the popularity of this workshop, I may need to substitute different designs for some workshop sessions.

COVID Christmas

There is no doubt that 2020 is going to be a Christmas to remember!

I've used some quarantine sentiments, and modified and adapted some traditional images, to create these humourous holiday cards. You will make a total of six cards in this session.

The cost for this workshop is $30 including taxes for in-studio and postal delivery options, and $25 including taxes for take-out. Coordinating envelopes are included.

Please note: I have limited kits for this workshop so if you are interested in completing these cards, reserve a set early so you are not disappointed!

Rustic Chipboard Payload!

What do I mean by "payload?" Well, this workshop includes 15 card kits, and you'll have a number of extra chipboard images to create additional cards on your own.

I've used the same colour-scheme for all 15 cards, each providing a rustic, outdoorsy, Canadiana feel. These cards use simpler design elements for quick-and-easy assembly. All stamping is done, where needed, and there is no colouring required.

I have only FOUR of these card kits available, so act fast. This workshop is available for take-out only and the cost is $35 including taxes (coordinating envelopes are included). As with other take-out kits, adhesives, foamies and glue dots are not provided, but an adhesive started kit, which includes all of the materials needed to create all of the cards, and then some, can be purchased for an additional $10 including taxes. Coordinating envelopes will be included.

Advent Calendar Boxes

Create a holiday keepsake by decorating one of these advent calendar boxes that you can fill with treats for years to come.

Inside are 24 drawers to tuck away a little surprise for each day leading up to Christmas. (The drawers measure 1 3/4" high and wide by 1 1/2" deep.)

For the design shown here, I alternated snowflake adornments for each of the drawers, for a simple, but elegant look.

The cost for this workshop is $25 and I will confirm a specific design with you prior to the workshop.

This project is available for in-studio only, due to the tools and supplies required to decorate the box. (Having said that, if you are not comfortable coming in to the studio, let me know and I'll work with you to create a take-out project version.)

Please note, I have a limited supply of these advent boxes, so please confirm early if you want one reserved for you.

COVID Comfort Cards

It might be hard to believe, but quarantine paper and stamp sets are actually "a thing."

This workshop includes six COVID-themed cards to share from a distance (three examples are shown here). These are not holiday-themed cards.

The cost for this workshop is $30 including taxes when completed in-studio or delivered by post, or $25 including taxes as a take-out project.

Coordinating envelopes will be included.

Please note that card designs may vary slightly due to the limited papers I have of each pattern.

Whew! So, that's a lot of options. If, by chance, you're looking for an option that isn't shown here, let me know and we can discuss a potential plan to create a different set of styles or quantities for your special project.

I look forward to hearing from you and helping you create these wonderful projects!
