Card Class Photo Inspiration!

Project designs ©Sharon M. Reinhart September 2015

Here they are! The four projects that we will be working on in our February 13, 2016 class being held at the Thorncliffe Greenview Community Center. The techniques are using Washi tape, thread wrapping, die-cutting, pressure embossing and two different peel off sticker techniques one using tombow markers on vellum. The tag may be created as is, perfect for adhering to a gift bag or a bottle of wine, flavored oils or a box of yummy chocolates, or if desired it can be made into a card. The LOVE card as shown can also be made instead as a Christmas card using an ornament shape and the word MERRY. The class will be held from 1:30 to 4:00 pm. Registration and payment of $25.00 per person is required in advance before February 6th. Please leave me a message if you have any questions or wish to register for this class.

Feburary 13 Class

I thought I would share Card 1 - LOVE-ly Washi tape from my February 13 class being held in the Horizon Room at Thorncliffe Greenview Community Center at 1:30 to 4:00 pm. We will be doing 4 cards ( 3 cards and one large tag that participants can create as a tag or make into a card). Due to the room size, my capacity for this class is 15 participants. Please leave me a message if you are interested in attending. The fee will be $25.00 to be paid in advance in order to hold your spot. I will be posting the remaining cards in future posts. This card makes use of readily available supplies and some that are even available through your grocery and office supply stores. Also, as you can see off to one side, if preferred participants can create this card for Christmas rather than Valentines or Anniversary. Hope you will be able to join us on the creative journey!

Tea-bag Fold Valentine!

Project design ©Sharon M. Reinhart 2014

Almost Valentines Day, are you ready! This elegant Valentine incorporates tea-bag folding, layering, and the use of Washi tape and a decorative die. The tea-bag folded rosette is created with text weight black linen paper beginning with the basic circle fold and then folding the top layer back on each folded circle. The musical banners and strip are created simply with washi tape. To create the little banners simply fold the washi tape adhesive side together and trim one end in a banner or flag shape with scissors or a square or hexagon punch. The hexagon punch will have a slightly shallower v notch. The number 14 is actually from a sheet of Christmas paper intended to be for an advent calendar.
I thought this valentine would work equally as well for a guy or girl and this particular one may be given to my sweetie! Hope you like it and are inspired to create. If you want to learn more about tea-bag folding, the different folds and progressions please check out my Fabulous Paper Folds online class or DVD by clicking on the photos at the right.

CardMaker Magazine online newsletter January 20, 2014

My most recent issue of the CardMaker Magazine newsletter went live today and its all about Washi tape Valentines! I had a great deal of fun working with this medium, it is so versatile and the variety of washi tape available is simply overwhelming - which one does a person use? If you are just starting out with washi tape, I suggest choosing a color or style that would work for multiple seasons or occasions. Most of the tape used in this article could be used for many different occasions. I invite you to head on over to CardMaker Magazine's online newsletter to find out more. Remember, if you have not signed up for the newsletter please do while you are there, it is a free resource! Hope you are inspired to create!
