Course Description: The Art of Card Making
Debi Adams, Instructor
Hi friend! Thank you so much for purchasing “The Art of Cardmaking”. It is my hope that you will be able to take with you a myriad of ideas for translating your art and mixed media pieces into cards.
This course will walk you through the three important “basics” in creating a card and then broaden that base through different materials and applications. From backgrounds to cut-out details, you will be able to create your own style and take your artistry to whole other level. Think dimensional, pop-ups and everything in between. Starting off with one sheet of embellished paper, we will make use of every square inch of the substrate. It’s a perfect way to use your leftover mixed media paper. The possibilities are endless. It’s really all about the art of maximizing the minimal surface. In other words, making the most of what you have!
Each segment (and there are nearly ten), will approach card making from a different angle, giving step-by step instructions for successful achievement.

Wonderful Course!

This course was a lot of fun, and I felt that I learned so many techniques to use, not only with cardmaking, but with the Gel Press and on canvas. Would highly recommend taking this course.

Read MoreInitially I wasn’t interested in this as I am a pretty skilled card maker and thought “I can figure this out”. Well what a surprise - Debi showed me a whole bunch of ways to use my stencils that is never thought of and the best tip for me was just to use ink! I’ve always used paint or sprays and they can be hard to control whereas using your ink pads makes it easy and awesome. Debi is also a marvelous easy to follow teacher. Thank you for opening my eyes to so many possibilities ❤️

There are so many great ideas for using stencils and mixed media to create beautiful cards. They inspire other projects using the same techniques, such as creating journaling cards for junk journals. I thoroughly enjoyed this class.
