Greeting Card Workshop (2022)

[Susan Ewart]

Suzy, I certainly do remember making a 1/4 fold card.  That’s what that card would be called if it was a newspaper.  I work at a web press and we do 1/2 fold and 1/4 fold newspapers for3 provinces.

[Nancy McNamara]

This workshop sounds great! I have always loved sending Christmas cards and still do, but I miss receiving them to include them in decorating my home…. Thankfully I have saved many of my favorite cards that I received & sent and now use them to decorate with!

[Michele]

Nancy, I used to use the front flap of a card to decorate my presents.

[Deana Davis]

I just registered.  I use to make rubber stamp cards, which I loved, but since our remodel and all my things are packed away I thought this might be a really good alternative for me.  I hope I make it to the end of the classes.  I displaced my hip so I’m not very mobile and not sure what the doctors will need to do to get me walking normal again.  But I’m excited for the class!

[Harmony Birch]

Looking forward to this, as a cardmaker it will be fun to try a few with psp instead of card and ink.

[Linda J Walker]

I used to make cards…..then things got in the way. I HAVE made our annual Christmas card for most of the past 40 years. Way back in the beginning, sometimes it was silkscreened, or hand-cut, or printed at a printshop.

But then we got a computer! And then a color printer! But some years it seems I spend more time fighting with the printer to print the 45 or so copies I need to mail, and I end up just being happy it is done 🙂

[Chris Schults]

Yes Me too

And Suzy 

I remeber well. Printing a card on 1 sheet and folding it in quarters 🙂

Left upper part Tekst or picture upside down.

And right lower part The text.

On a dot matrix printer.

AND there are still people who do it that way

And that program still available on the internet archive

Hi Everyone,

I registered because I love the Talents I learn from here, Our Teacher who makes everything look easy

and you guys too       I learn something every time that helps me.

[Nana Ray]

Hi all,

I have always used  rubber stamps with special Ink & then hand painted them. Now with the computer up and the printer too I thought I just might give this a try this year.

[Lyn Lou]

Morning all, I’m here
Have a few things on today, and tomorrow, but the rest of he week should be ok for me.

[Jnet Allard]

Did the first email go out? Is this the first day, or am I confused?

I didn’t get anything yet.

 

[Cassel]

Yes, Linda, it went out about 4 hours ago. Did you get the confirmation when it was sent? Can you check your spam?

[Hank Sobah]

[Linda J Walker]

I think I got the confirmation email.

There is nothing in my spam folder from today.

So I didn’t get the first email!

Do I have to register again?

[Ann Seeber]

Here is Card 1 – Thinking of You – Photo by Debbie Lennox – Brad from DS-Marisa Lerin: Coastal Special – I did all the shadows with the light coming from the top right.

 

[Cassel]

Linda, let me send you my copy.

[Mary Solaas]

Here is my take. It isn’t Christmas, but I need various Anniversary cards. All is my own except the circle which I got from PS – Marisa Lerin and which I modified all but the wording in the circle; I used Filter Forge for the gold rings.

[Linda J Walker]

Thank you! But I have a meeting to go to soon.

I will register again.

 

[Leslie Gifford Cook]

I took the card template and added a notice for a Craft show I’m in this weekend.  I plan to print a 3X4 copy for the back of my nametag.  Thanks

Hi made my first Card ever   & love it  (yeah)

[Gerry Landreth]

I kept it simple. The holly is from Digital Scrapbook (PixelScrapper). The word art and font are from Creative Fabrica. The ribbon was an exercise to remind me that I can follow directions … at least some of the time.

Most of the elements on the card are my own. I made the pointsetta and ornaments last year for various Christmas cards.

The gold paper a part of some foil gradient papers that I downloaded and changed the color to gold. The balls spelling
“Merry” were actually made in PS several years ago, but I find the I am using them quite a bit for Christmas cards. The ribbon was also made several years ago.

I need a lot of Christmas cards, so this is the first one. I kept it simple but because my photo had the tree on the left side I mirrored the scallopped mat to the right. I put an old streetlight instead of a ribbon and gave it some glow. The embellishment comes from the blogtrain kit of last year by DB Magnolia. Last year it came to late, so now is the opportunity to use some of it. The font is Christmas Crafter by Creative Fabric.
