I have been making my own greeting cards for over 15 years. Card buying has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. I was the type of person who would spend their lunch-hour choosing one birthday card.

For a couple of years I made a business of printing and selling photo cards from home. I reverted back to making handmade cards & started Card Making Workshops in 2013. 

Qualifications:

Workshop Prep - Card Making Sets

My workshops may last 1.5 hours on average, but the preparation takes another 1 to 2 hours as does the sorting up of the tools and materials post workshop.  Workshop Preparation  1. I select a number of card designs to make during the workshop.  2. I make Sample Cards to use as illustration at the workshop.  3. I prepare an ingredient pack for each customer with the exact ingredients to make the sample cards. 4. I pack excess materials for customers to use to create their own designs based on their experience of making the sample card/s. 5. I pack a selection of punches, labels, stickers, paper strips and squares and my guillotines.  6. Basically, less is more in Card Making- I try to trim down what I bring for the customer's to use, as otherwise it becomes overwhelming and the resulting cards are just a haphazard collection of pretty toppings without any design. 7. Post workshop everything gets dumped on my bags for sorting later on when I get home! Sample Card Pack for a workshop

Gatefold cards and Kraft cards

These are two of the card types we'll be making at my Card Blanks workshop. You'll discover that your choice of blank cards can provide you with inspiration to move out of your comfort zone and create your own unique designs. Email me at janmosullivan@gmail.com  for workshop details. I set up workshops on demand so if you let me know when suits you I will try to facilitate you.
