I just love holidays, and Valentine's Day is a particularly good one. What isn't there to like about chocolate, flowers, and pretty pink cards? I designed two new projects for Valentine's Day, either of which would be fun for a workshop. Why not hold a workshop in January and make these mini Valentine's Day cards, and then have a friend hold another workshop in early February to make the matching box?
These mini cards are 3"x3", which is a cute size for a greeting card, or they work very well as a gift tag. Specialty envelopes which fit these cards exactly are also available.
In this workshop all guests would make all three cards. They feature two kinds of heart punches, a new border and corner punch, designer series paper, a comparison of wood-mounted to clear-mounted stamps, and more. This would be a slightly longer workshop - allow extra time to work on three cards. (If you need a shorter workshop we can do fewer cards.)
For my second project I have a box made out of card stock, sized to hold 3"x3" cards and their envelopes. It would be fun to make a set of 6 or 12 mini cards (you can use my designs above, or design your own), package them with matching envelopes, and then give this as a gift to a friend or sweetheart.The mini cards and box are inspired by Valentine's Day, but they can be used for any occasion. The stamped messages can be changed to a "thank you" message, a "friendship" message, or other possibilities.
This box uses the new 5/8" satin ribbon which comes in coordinating Stampin' Up! colors, as well as the new extra-large Fancy Flower punch, border and corner punches, designer series paper, a comparison of wood-mounted to clear-mounted stamps, and a touch of Crystal Effects. I will also include instructions on how to assemble this box, so workshop guests can make more of these at home.
Drop me an email to set up your workshop today! In addition to these two projects I have many other themes available - we can make a scrapbook page, or birthday cards, thank-you cards, and more. Just let me know what you are interested in!
