Card Buffet (Workshop)

 

 

Here's my newest workshop!  I'm going out on a limb here and trying something crazy.  I'd love it if a few of you girls that read this regularly (you know who you are) would grab a few friends and sign up for this one.  It's a pretty long one (three hours) so it would make for a good girls afternoon or night (wine anyone?).  For those of you with a small person (I mean child, not vertically challenged), you could divide the cards between you and each make 4.  I could also make up a few special kid-friendly options if you let me know you'd like that.  This workshop obviously offers a greater selection than the others due to the higher volume of cards you'll be turning out.  The difference here is that I won't be instructing you on how to do certain techniques.  Of course I will help you if there's something unfamiliar, but I won't be standing up there teaching everyone like I do in the other classes.

 

So take a read and please send me a reply if you're interested! 

 

Fee:  $25 each or free with $60 catalogue order
3 hours
This workshop requires a minimum of 4 participants, and a maximum of 8

This one's a doozy, but well worth it!

The way a card buffet works is that I will have 10 different selections for you to choose from.  During the workshop you will make 8 cards, choosing whichever styles you like the best (multiples are okay too, if you really like one style).  The cards will be displayed with containers behind each, full of all the supplies you need to complete them, ready for you to use.  You take a box to your seat and craft away!  Each buffet will feature a different selection of cards for you to choose from, so when you fall in love, we can book you another one right away! :)

If you wish to make extra cards once you have completed your 8, the charge is $2.00 per additional card.

"Quilting" (Workshop)

  

Quilting

Fee:  $15 or free with $30 catalogue order 
1 - 1 1/2 hours

If you're looking at this page, chances are you're a quilter.  Congratulations - you have more patience than I can ever hope to!  I love all of the little details you find in quilts, so why not do it with paper too?  In this workshop you will use a series of coordinating patterned paper (to match the season, of course) and embossing techniques to create a "quilt" for your cards.  You will try three different layouts to give you a variety of styles.  Once your quilt top is ready, you can choose from a variety of sentiments to finish it off.

Altered Journal (workshop)

Good Things Come In Small Packages (workshop)

1 1/2 - 2 hours

In this workshop I’ll show you how to make a little box with 6 mini cards (3" X 3").  These are great to have around to send note, attach to a gift,  or to give as a gift itself. 

Boxed Goods (workshop)

Fee:  $20 or free with $30 catalogue order
2 hours

This project is a box filled with 4 full sized cards and envelopes.  The idea is to choose one stamp set that you love, and use it to create a myriad of different images.

This set uses "Elements of Style" with Pear Pizzaz and Very Vanilla.

Here' another example using "Always" with Perfect Plum and Very Vanilla.

Paper Bag Album (workshop)

Fee: $20 or free with $30 catalogue order
2 1/2 - 3 hours 


This workshop is designed to take the better part of an afternoon as it is quite an involved project.  Using paper lunch bags you will create a beautiful album ready to be filled with your favourite photos.  This is a wonderful gift idea.  You could put the pictures and journaling in yourself, or give it as a canvas for someone to fill.  This project is great for a wide range of skill levels.  You can make it as simple or intricate as you desire.
