Class time will focus on demonstrations and questions as well as creating samples using bond paper. This will help participants assimilate the techniques and overcome the fear of using expensive papers and materials first. A selection of fine art papers will be displayed at the first class. A materials list will be provided at the time of registration. Come and explore three unique and creative card designs that are simple, versatile and surprisingly easy to complete.
Participants can create a new look for each one by selecting various materials.
Next, learn about blind embossing techniques that transform plain paper into beautiful monogrammed notes. These notes will be lined with colorful writing paper which will also be used to line the envelopes. The pop-up box card conceals a simple watercolor card. When the card is tied with a ribbon and mailed in its translucent envelope, recipients will feel like they have received a gift. At the end of the class, students will have completed seven cards and have the ideas and tools to create many, many more.
