Insta-Instructions

With the popularity of smartphones, Instagram, and collage/picture apps, I thought I would try to incorporate these digital tools into my November workshop instruction sheet.  We always try to prepare a guide for our cards, as many people will pick up kits to complete on their own time.  For each card, I created a "mini collage," which included a picture of the card and a key pointer or two.  I had so much fun creating collages in the "PicCollage," "PicFrame," and "A Beautiful Mess" apps (thanks, Rae!).  Here are my creations... I hope they were helpful for our workshop participants!

Do you feel the Christmas season quickly approaching? I sure do!  But before we switch gears to Christmas, we'll be creating a new set of cards perfect for sharing a thankful sentiment this month.  The theme for this batch is "pockets," as all of the cards incorporate a pocket or an envelope into their design (some even have secret pockets!). Papers used are from the Vintage Chic paper pack.  Here's a sneak peak at some of the cards... Don't worry, I still have some finishing touches to make on a few!
 
 
We'll also be making a "magic envelope card" - it's a card and an envelope all in one!  Hope you see you on Sunday.
