We held a wonderful Card and Tag workshop at Studio 904 on June 28th. Twelve participants enjoyed the three hours we spent making colorful cards and tags… using many varieties of printed papers and inks. Pandas, Birds, Butterflies and Flowers were the theme and every one of the hand-made items came out with breath taking results!
To me, the most rewarding part of these workshops is when students look at their finished piece of art and say, “Wow, I can’t believe I made this with my own hands. My creative side is coming out!”
These card workshops provides an opportunity for people of all ages (young and old) to come together and have fun while working with their hands. People who ordinarily may not have much to say to one another, find themselves chatting away and having a good time with each other, while working on their artful masterpiece. Another thing I notice is that people begin to
think about how to delight someone in their lives by sending them a thoughtful card which is personal to the recipient. I often hear students saying, “I can hardly wait to see the expression on Aunt Helen’s face wh
en she opens this envelope….. she will love love this special card because Aunt Helen loves anything to do butterflies!”.
Just imagine how many “happy days” we can create for the people around us if we send them a colorful and uplifting card on periodic basis, just letting them know that “We Care” and that we are thinking of them.
Here are some wonderful testimonials I received from few of the participants of the Panda’s Garden Card Workshop.
“I just wanted to say thank you for the great class! I appreciated learning everything and especially the extra bonus on how to make the birds. I just finished making a card using the Panda stamps. It said "you're fun to be around" and it is perfect to send to a friend who I just went out to dinner with at Jazz Alley last night”.
“What I really appreciate about your classes and what makes it special is your expertise and creativeness. I can tell how much effort and time you have put in to make each of these projects. I hope that when people do make their own cards they will instantly see how much easier it is with your help doing all the footwork beforehand”.
