CARD MAKING with Gail Woodgate
Card making and creating 3d items from card stock can be fun and there’s nothing more special than giving someone something you created from scratch. Whilst Gail is still fairly new to card making, she has been doing 3d papercraft for a couple of years and wants to share her enjoyment of creating items from cardstock. She enjoys using her Brother Scan N cut but also uses a die cutter, paper cutter and scorer as well as stamps, inks and a wide array of embellishments.
More classes will be added if there is further interest. Cost: $5 per class for cost of cardstock etc.
