Card-Making With Fabric Class

If you have never made a card with fabric,

you might be interested in the class that we are offering this Saturday.

It's called Card-Making With Fabric.

Participants will be making (and taking) two cards using fabric images.

Here is one of the cards that they will be making.

The poinsettias came from this fabric.

This is the background paper that she used.  

(The picture is showing you both sides of the paper.)

She used these word dies ... 

... and cut the words out of glitter paper.

This is the other card that they will be making in the class.

It can hold a gift card in the pocket.

These poinsettias came from this fabric.

She used these dies on the front of the card.

The word die was cut out of mirror paper.

She used the frame die and chalked the edge of it with a gray color.

We still have openings for this class.

It is scheduled for Saturday, November 16, at 9:30 am.

Call us by Thursday evening (we close at 8:00 pm)

if you are interested in participating.

Have a great rest of the week!

November Fabric Club

Our once-a-month Card-making with Fabric Club meeting was today.

Dora was our hostess and she created this cute fall card.

She used images from this fabric to decorate her card.

Karina joined us for part of today and she created this neat card from the same fabric.

Unfortunately, it's hard to see, but she raised some of the images 

on the card adding to the character of it.

Rachel also created a card for the Club ladies.

Instead of opening up like a regular card, this one has a pocket

to hold your greeting and a gift card.

Rachel used a small decorative paper bag and these dies in making this card.

We used the larger die set in our Shop Hop Make-N-Take.

The images used on the card came from this fabric.

If you're a part of Facebook, hop over to see some of our newest fabric

and also the winner of the Shop Hop drawing!

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Holidays

Rachel made this Thanksgiving card after lunch today.

(inside of card)

She made the background of the card from scraps of paper 

leftover from our Shop Hop Make-&-Take.

She then ran it through an embossing folder.

The fabric images came from this fabric.

Rachel taught a class last week called Cards-In-A-Box.

They made a box to hold 4 cards and envelopes to give as a gift.

(inside of box)

Here are the 4 cards.

(the insides of the cards)

They used this fabric to create the box and the cards.

And one last card to show you ...

Rachel also made this cute wintry card.

(inside of card)

She used this fabric.

She also used this die to create the wording on the front of the card.

Blessings on your day!

Closing

Please note:

The Farmhouse will be closed Friday morning only, 

October 25, for the funeral of Rachel's uncle.

We will open at 12:30 on Friday.

The Cat's Meow

Isn't this the cat's meow for the cat-loving card-maker?

Check out those eyes!

Rachel used crystal glaze to create that look.

The cat face came from this fabric panel.

You could use the crystal glaze on dog's eyes, too.

You could also use it on scenery where there's water.

Or make a vase look like glass.  Use your imagination!

(inside of card)

She used this set of stamps.

Here is another cat panel that we have at the Farmhouse 

that you could add the glaze to as well.

We have a lot of cat and dog items at the Farmhouse.

Here are some dies that came in our latest shipment.

For those of you who enjoy making cards but not working with the fabric,

this is an option for you.

Each of these kits make 3 cards.  You provide the card base and background

and then layer the pictures (that punch out) on top of each other with pop dots

(or mounting tape) to give dimension to the picture.

We have a lot of these types of kits (flowers, seasonal, etc.) at the Farmhouse.

Rachel taught a private card-making with fabric class recently.

(If you and your friends want to have your own personal class,

give Rachel a call to schedule one.)

This is one of the cards that she had the ladies make in the class.

The trees came from this fabric.

She used these ovals for the front of the card.

It's a beautiful fall day in our corner of the world!

We hope your day is blessed!

Shirley's Stencil Class

We are offering a Stencil Class here at the Farmhouse.

Shirley will be our teacher, and this is what the participants will be making in the class.

The card background was made with distressing inks and a stencil.

Here is the stencil that she used.

The participants will also be making a card with glimmer paste and stencils.

This is what the background will look like.

This is the stencil that she used to make the two backgrounds above.

This class is scheduled for Wednesday, October 30, 2019, at 9:30 am. 

We still have some openings left.  Give us a call if you are interested in participating!

Today was fabric club day.

The ladies posed with their beautiful cards that Adina showed them how to make.

They have a lot of fun together!

Rachel took this fabric ...

...  and created this card for the club ladies to make.

(inside of card)

This is the paper that she used for the background of her card.

I'm showing you 2 pieces so that you can see each side of this double-sided paper.

Here are some other papers in that same beautiful line.

Enjoy your day!
