WORKSHOP: Beautiful Cards & Valentines
Tuesday, January 24, 2012
In this workshop, participants made beautiful valentines and/or notecards using a variety of materials, including paper, beads, feathers and more. Facilitators Dena Van Derveer and Kimberly Powell provided samples and materials
that jump-started everyone’s creativity. Items included
small dried wild flowers, small beads, small
ribbons, rice papers, colored papers, tissue papers, music paper, glitter
pens and glitter, lace, trim, small feathers, strings, very small
sea shells, old stamps… anything small and beautiful!
If you couldn’t make it to the workshop, or if you did, but didn’t get to do everything and want to try some other techniques at home, here are some links of things to try.
— Pocket Valentine pattern & instructions (pdf)
— Heart Pocket card (accordian-style; on Michaels website)
— Monogram card (could be adapted for heart design; on Michaels website)
— Old-Fashioned Popup pattern & instructions from Joli Paquet (warning, annoying music)
— Some simple envelope templates (most fit on regular paper, and thus are small)
Here are few origami hearts:
— Mini 3-D origami hearts (I had some samples at the workshop)
— Best "Balanced Heart" (same on both sides)
— Ornate "money" Origami heart or here
Let us know if you find other wonderful ideas. We can post them here, too!
