Dry Emboss Workshop

Well, tax season is winding up.  Monday is the last day for Canadians to file personal taxes.  Appears to me that, on my workshop schedule, I have a workshop planned for next Saturday.  What was I thinking - not giving myself more of a breather after taxes?  How will I be ready?!

Well, one of the sample cards is made.  A second sample is 90% made.  The third sample is still parked in my head (plus a hastily made sketch).  After I get the samples done, then I have to proliferate them in to kits.  There will be some busy nights this week, but I'm sure I can be ready!

This is the first one.  (I actually used the same layout with a different embellishment and sentiment for a birthday card for my Dad too.)  I love this embossing folder from Stampin' Up! that I bought from my cousin's wife who is a demonstrator (see her blog).  It gives such a deep and rich impression.  On the second card, we'll be using some other stamped images and on the third... I don't know yet!

For those readers who will be in attendance, please read on for your materials list.

As always, the workshop runs from 1-4pm and includes light snacks.  $5 of every workshop fee is donated to SOAR.  Workshop fees work in 2 tiers: $8 if you bring all your own supplies and $12 if you need to purchase the full workshop kit.

To bring your own kit, you will need:

• basics: scissors, adhesives, pencil, ruler, eraser, journaling markers
• 3 card bases and envelopes
• 1 cardfront (a piece of cardstock the size of the entire cardfront)
• 1 piece of cardstock slightly smaller than a cardfront and a co-ordinating strip of cardstock (1.5 inches by the width of your card in landscape position)
• 1 patterned paper half the size of a cardfront and 3 strips of co-ordinating cardstock (3 different colours or at least 2 different colours) each 1 inch by the width of your card
• any focal embellishments you want - die cuts, stamps, whatever (if you have nothing of this sort, I will let you use any of my stamps)'
• If you are unsure of any of these sizes, just bring full sized pieces of cardstock that co-ordinate with each other and well cut them down the day of the class.  (8.5x11 pieces are fine for this class.)
