Signs of Love Valentine Cardmaking Workshop
The month of February is all about Valentine’s Day and the ways we choose to show our signs of love. Creating handmade personalized Valentine cards is one of those ways and in this workshop, you will create 10!
The techniques you will learn include how to layout and cut the printed paper for the ten cards using the layout template/map. How to design each card using the double-sided patterned paper including adding the stamped sentiment for each card. You will explore the use of color using markers and learn about die cut hearts using a double-sided adhesive and glitter. A half sheet of white cardstock for each card will be available. Each one of your cards will include an envelope. Most materials are included but do bring a scissor, 12” ruler, pencil or pen, glue (liquid or glue stick), marker-pink or red (optional).
