This month I am holding a live online card class. Once a month I have a card class at my home for my local customers. With Auckland remaining at alert level 3, my regular class is not able to go ahead in person this month. Instead I have decided to do it online. The projects are something you can make at home with craft supplies that you are already likely to have.
Since I am doing an online card class, I thought I would open it up to others too, as location is no longer an obstacle. It will be a live class via Zoom. This will allow you to see what I am doing and I will be able to see you too. I will be able to answer any questions you have as you make the cards with me. I will also know how fast or slow to go.
The class will start at 2:30pm on Sunday 23rd August and will last for about one and a half to two hours. It is a little difficult to know exactly how long it will be as I haven’t done a class online like this before.
Below are the two cards we are going to make. The first one has two versions of it. Below the photos is a list of supplies of what you would need to make the cards. When you sign up and register for the class, you will be given a complete list with the measurements so you can pre-cut your pieces before the class so you are ready to go. You will also receive the Zoom link for the class.
The first card is a Double Gate Fold Card made using double-sided Designer Series Paper/ patterned paper. You can choose to have a sentiment or a die cut image on the belly band, depending on what you have available to use.

The second card is a great way to use up strips of Designer Series Paper/patterned paper that you have left over. I have used it to create a masculine, Father’s Day card, but you can use any patterned paper to create the same background.
