Frugal Cardmaking

Sunday 29th March 9.30am – 12.30pm

Want to learn how to make your own cards?

Don’t want to spend out on lots of expensive kit only to find out it’s not for you?

Come along to a class delivered by Professional Card Maker, Claire Mackaness.

Learn various techniques using materials you can find in the home.

You’d be surprised what you have hidden away. You will also find ways to obtain materials for little or no cost, using things such as freecycle, charity shops and car boot-fairs.

No experience needed, just the desire to get creative. All materials supplied.

During the class you will watch various demonstrations, receive handouts and make at least 2 cards if not more. Enjoy free tea, coffee and biscuits and a friendly environment to learn.

Claire is a professional card maker who lives and works in Brentwood and has shared her expertise with lots of fellow crafters for the past 5 years. You may well have seen her selling cards at various fairs and events across Essex.

£10.00 per head including all materials & refreshments

CT19720 ~ To be honest when I post pictures it's on a wing & a prayer but I follow the instructions from Rosekitten posts on the link above. It starts at number 651. I think the secret of getting them small is ticking the box immediately under the picture you want. I've bookmarked the link & just follow it every time. Hope it works for you......

Saveapenny - I'll get some posted asap...... I'd say it was more like very thin plastic than paper I do hope it works..... OT on the back of the pack it show it being coloured with what looks like a felt tipped pen but I've never tried it.....
