CARD & TAG MAKING AND GIFT WRAPPING
FOR THE HOLIDAYS WORKSHOP

Whether you’re crafty or craft-challenged, this course will teach you how to make gorgeous, clever, professional-looking cards that are so spectacular, the recipient will frame them!  And you will be remembered for your gift packages!

 The first two classes will be dedicated to card & tag making.  The instructor will give a card & tag making demonstration and discuss trends and where to buy materials.  Participants will learn about collage, design, colour and styles, as well as ways to fold and embellish their cards & tags and how to use decorative materials.

The next two classes will be dedicated to how to gift wrap packages for any occasion.  Participants will bring their own gifts to wrap at the class.  The instructor will give a gift wrapping demonstration.  Participants will learn about colours, styles and trends and how to use decorative materials.
