November, the final meeting and calliarts for 2015. It would be great to see you at the meeting and if you cannot make that, then the calliarts afternoon with Glenis, ensures we will go out creatively for the year.
SWING CARD
Swing Cards give you the
opportunity to recycle greeting cards.
There are a variety of patterns for these cards; the one I’m going to
show you has a concertina insert. I’m
suggesting you use a Christmas theme, however you can use any theme you like
depending on the picture/s you have. For
those of you who haven’t before used your calligraphy to address envelopes or
write a verse for your hand made cards we will cover those as well.
Materials
List:
·
A
picture from a recycled card, postcard, scrapbooking paper, etc. up to but no
larger than 8cm x 9cm. The picture can
be any shape but squares and rectangles are the easiest.

parallel to the short side, to match colours in picture.*
