Winter 2024 - Handmade Greeting Cards Workshop, February 21 & 24, 2024

Hello everyone,

Hope you are doing well. 

Below is a brief recap of the cards we made in class. Our next class meeting will be on Wednesday March 6 and Saturday March 9. See you then.

Take care,

Connie

Sabastian Seahorse: Spray some Distress Mica Stain colors (Snow Flurries, Merry Mint & Wonderland) onto non-stick mat and spray some water to dilute the colors. Place the mixed media card panel to pick up the colors. Use a dryer to dry and set the colors, and pick up additional colors as needed. Dry card panel well and stamp seahorse with Nocturne Versafine Clair ink, add clear embossing powder and heat emboss image. Die cut with stitch frame die and assemble card with sentiment as shown.

Turtle Iris Folding: Follow the Turtle Iris Folding pattern, use two different color/pattern papers (odds with blue floral and even with the wavy pattern) to complete this card.

St. Patrick Shamrock: Die cut shamrock on green card panel and stamp shamrock leaves using clea Versamark ink. Assemble the gold shaker panel by wrapping some cellophane sheet to make a pouch, put some confetti in and seal the package. Adhere it to the back of the green panel. Glue the die cut shamrock leaf onto the opening. Add ribbon and sentiment to finish card as shown.

Red Roses: Place and secure rose stencils onto cream card panel. Use Memento ink pads (Rose Buds, Rhubarb Stalk, Bamboo Leaves and Cottage Ivy) to sponge colors accordingly. Die cut card panel and add sentiment and ribbon to finish card as shown.
