Card workshop

 This past weekend I was asked teach a card workshop at a local craft retreat. It was a bit overwhelming designing the cards, coming up with interesting and new techniques, and getting all of the supplies ready for the event. Below are pictures of the cards with descriptions of the techniques.

These were the easiest cards. We sprayed thin black cardstock with perfect pearls spray, embossed with a 3D embossing folder. After it dried, we highlighted the flowers with metallic wax. Spellbinders embossing folder and sentiment dies.

This card took the longest because of the layered stencils. We used white pigment ink first, then offset a bit using the lightest ink color and then added the next layer. Gina K layered stencil, spellbinders sentiment dies.

This is another one using an embossing folder with Lindys magical powder. The embossing folders definitely make the biggest difference for the amount of work involved! Altenew embossing folder, Gina K master layout tag die, The Greetery stamp, Trinity Stamps oh my stars confetti embellishments.

This one used patterned papers for cute spring birthday cards. Gina K designs stamp, Birchpress butterfly dies.

This has become a favorite technique of mine using silhouette stamps. We inked the paper to be lighter in the center, darker on the edges, then stamped all the images and sentiments at once with black ink. We finished it off with some sparkle spray and sequins. All Gina K Designs stamps.

This one used a Gina K gift card holder die and The Greetery stamps to make a springy gift card holder postcard.
