In a total blogging fail, I didn’t take any pictures inside the shop. I’ve purchased things from them each year at Show of Hands, but I’ve never been to their shop. Favorite Design was a participating shop, I decided this was my chance to finally get up to the north side to see the shop. But so was Book Store Day and Record Store Day, so, why can’t paper sellers and fans have a day, too?) Tagged adventures, cardmaking, forest park public library, handmade cards, library, library workshopĭid you know Saturday was the very first Stationery Store Day? (Is Stationery Store Day a totally made up holiday? Yes. It was a great group, with everyone helping and supporting each other! I know I’ve said it a hundred times, but I love our library and I love teaching workshops there. Naoto was one of my “students” so he took some pictures of the class in action. Have you ever done masking? It’s such a fun way to layer your stamps! (Should I do a little tutorial?) (There is a fancier Japanese version, too!)Īnd finally, we used rubber stamp masking to make the last card. They have a lovely little shimmer and nice coverage. I bought these cheap pearlescent watercolors from Michaels and I love them. Then we used watercolors and a black marker to make a simple cake card. The watermelon was my favorite because it’s so easy, and who doesn’t love a pun? The dahlia is also pretty simple, but it looks so elegant, especially if you make it with pretty patterned papers. This time, we folded an origami watermelon and this dahlia. Have I ever told you the story about the time my manager at Paper Source kept insisting that I teach the origami class until I finally asked her, “Why me? Because I have a Japanese husband and I learn by marital osmosis?” (She dropped the subject.) Well, the joke’s on me because now, every class I teach has some sort of paper folding incorporated into it! We used paper folding, rubber stamping, and watercolors to make four cards that could be used for all occasions. I taught another card-making workshop at the Forest Park Public Library in August.
