Workshop at Ecole Mondiale

On the 23rd of March, I conducted a punchcraft workshop at Ecole Mondiale World School, as part of the Art Week. We made folders holding gift envelopes... Each envelope had a matching card inside to write a message on.
As always, I was blown away by the creativity of the kids! and mostly boys too...
Thanks for stopping by...enjoy!

Flowers in my garden...

See what my kids made in class this week...

Cards that dangle...

I was looking for something to do with my kids in class this week. So, I picked up a book I've had fore quite a while ago...'Pop-Up Cards' with Sandi Genovese.
I spent A LOT of time making my samples before my class...
Here's what I came up with...An X card with little dangles...enough to bring a smile to anyone's face.
I have scanned in the instructions from my book for you to try out...
Thanks for stopping by...enjoy...

Background stamp is from Hero Arts. I stamped, coloured , cut out and stuck the butterfly to add dimension. The white ink adds fabulous dimension, don't you think?

More coloured and cut out butterflies...I added a piece of vellum whose edge I punched with a lace punch, to create space for writing a message.  Since an  X card is visible on all four sides, there is something on all four sides to enjoy.

The butterfly dangles are punched out of coloured vellum and stuck together with  a piece of silver thread between them.

A variation....A different type of dangle...
