card making mini retreat ~ gifts of paper

This is a creative, hands-on session where we will design one-of-a-kind cards, meant to be kept and treasured. Using vintage papers and thoughtfully curated images, we will explore simple techniques for layering, embellishment, and adding text so that each card is uniquely yours to share. You will leave with a collection of finished cards, as well as the skills and confidence to keep creating gifts of paper on your own.

You will be provided with all the necessary supplies ~ blank cards/envelopes, an assortment of images, vintage papers, and various embellishments. No need to bring anything! After sharing some tips and techniques, we will make a few ‘practice’ cards before completing our final mini collections. As always, I will be available to answer any questions that might arise after our session together.

This is an in-person session in Ottawa, Ontario. Each session includes:

• a 2-hour, in-person creative session
• 3 blank cards/envelopes, plus mixed media collage paper for extra prints/practice
• curated collection of vintage images and papers to choose from
• fine papers and textiles for embellishments
• use of studio tools & supplies ~ no need to bring a thing
• handouts of tips, techniques, materials used

When you register, you will receive an email with more information. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions at any time, or if you would like to explore ideas or dates prior to signing up.
