Introducing Fresh Air 1 Sheet Wonder 20 Card Workshop

I am so very excited to introduce you to the NEWEST 20 Card Workshop using Fresh Air.  This workshop like my others is a teaching workshop, utilizing a single sheet of pattern paper you are able to maximize it's use by learning how to cut the paper.

The great thing about this 20 card workshop is that you can break it down to teach a maximum of 4 people from 1 guide, they would each get to create 1 of each card.  You could also work it to teach 2 people per guide for 10 cards each, 2 of each design, or the full guide per person, with 4 of each design for 20 cards.



I really liked the stamp set from the WYW cardmaking kit, and decided that it would be great to show some new designs using that kit. Let's take a closer look at each card.

Introducing Beautiful Friendship 20 Card Workshop


I am so very excited to be able to release the 1st workshop from the 2018 Seasonal Expressions 2 catalog, Beautiful Friendship. This workshop is a teaching workshop, allowing you to show how to create 20 cards from a single sheet of pattern paper.

The great thing about my workshops is that you can teach it in many ways since there are 5 designs you can break it down and teach 5 cards per person, 10 cards or 20 cards.


For the 20 cards, I would recommend at least a 3 hour class.  The beginners I would suggest starting with only 5 cards.  You know your customers best, so you are the best judge on how to offer the classes.  Now let's take a closer look at each card.

Thank you… now on to our hop!

If you have just hopped onto my blog, you can start here as this is a circular hop the great part is I'm also the first stop when hopping East to West Coast. If you came from Sheena's blog then you are in the right place!


Since we are celebrating relationships I thought it was fitting to use Beautiful Friendship paper along with the coordinating Scrapbooking Stamp set.  The flower is a 2 piece stamp, base and detail.  The base is stamped in 2nd generation Smoothie Ink, and the detail stamp is in 1st generation Smoothie Ink.  The sentiment is also from the stamp set, and is stamped on Heather Cardstock on the light side, with Heather Ink.  I then fussy cut all images.  The leaves are done in Fern and New England Ivy.

Your next stop on the Cross Canada Hop is Colleen Dewis.


If you get lost along the way, you can head back here to check the list of hoppers.

For my project, I pulled out the Canary Cardstock from the Cardstock package, using the lighter side of this color.  I decided that I wanted to use the dotted vellum and wasn't sure how to incorporate it, so I pulled out Volume 3 of Make It From Your Heart and found layout that I could use. I used pattern 6 and rotated the design.  I used a zipstrip for the piece between the vellum and pattern paper.  I stamped my title in Smoothie ink, for a tone on tone look, added some stamped Hibiscus flowers and doodling and all done. 

Now "Hop" on over to Brandi's blog to see her work! Be sure to visit all the Consultants at their Blogs to get some great crafting ideas and other fun ideas!
