101 Card Making Workshop - Fun Collage and Decoupage

Never be without a card for any occasion.  In this workshop, you'll be guided through the best use of hundreds of collage images and decorative papers.  We'll also combine stenciling and stamping in this special workshop.  Using guided composition skills, arrangement, cutting and pasting techniques as well as some paper manipulation and juxtapositioning, you'll create fun, whimsical abstract like images to perplex, amaze and delight anyone who sees them. Through fun experimentation, exploration and testing, you'll be well on your way to making some way cool and unique images for your cards, and even doll up your envelopes.  We have Ooodles of images to choose from, and 100s of ways to help you create, emote and express.  The cards can be serious or whimsical, heart felt or silly, warm and fuzzy or sent with a Zing but each one is a unique expression and personal "hello".  Some will even be framable and collectable.    

" Some of the most touching experiences from friends, is when they give me something they've taken the time and effort to make.  These cards are delightful".  A card recipient from NBACE's card making workshop.
