Mega Fun with Backgrounds

Instructor: Sarah Justison/The Paper Cut

Create 8 cards using die cut cards from The Paper Cut and
Impression Obsession’s background stamps in layers to create beautiful, complex patterns quickly and easily. You’ll be amazed at how versatile, these stamps are when used in combination with each other. Your background paper will compliment your stamped images perfectly! No more trying to find patterned paper to “go” with your projects, because……you can make it yourself! Bring double sided tape and scissors. All other supplies will be provided. ($35)



2:15 p.m. - 4:15 p.m.

Textures Galore!

Different papers have different textures, but with all the machines and embossing folders out there, the textural possibilities are endless. Depending on the texture and type of paper, they emboss differently. We will be embossing different types of papers in this class – some that maybe you have never even thought of trying. Also, learn to “wet” emboss using the “dry” embossing folders – which papers work best for that? All of our embossing will be on layering swatches or endcuts and then we will be using of embossed pieces to make some awesomely textured cards!
Bring double sided tape and scissors. All other supplies will be provided. ($35)


6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.

Cards, Cards & More Cards!

You will be amazed at how versatile that stamps & dies are when used in combination with each other.
Use Impression Obsession “dies” and matching stamps, along with background stamps in layers to easily create 8 cards for different occasions. Get right to the card making with the cards already cut and scored from The Paper Cut - papers and cards will include their holographic paper, window cards and overlays, scallop cards and more. Bring double sided tape and scissors. All other supplies will be provided. ($35)
