Cane Creek Recreation Center; $22; In this class you will get to make "A Bag, A Tag, A Box and 2 Greeting Cards!" The box is one that we will repurpose and cover with 2 different printed Christmas papers. The bag matches, using some of the same paper. The tag is a fun, medium-sized tag to make. You can also use this as a card front, if you prefer. The 2 Greeting Cards will be fun to make, using the embossing folder on one of them. All of the items were designed and created for this class! Register here.
