Teach card making

Course Overview

Perhaps you're already a craft teacher looking for card projects you can teach with your groups.  Or maybe you've been asked to run a card-making programme that needs to be more structured.

If a planned course, with checklists, lesson plans and progress sheets is what you're after then this is for you:

A clear Card Making Course for you to share with students and learners. 

The Card Projects

The card projects have been chosen for the range of skills and techniques that they will offer your learners.  If you find one project too challenging for your group, you may like to deliver the same subject but on a different level. 

It's important that you complete the projects yourself if possible to appreciate the stages involved.  This way you will be better able to support your learners with their questions, as they arise. 

Creating samples of each project, in different designs, colours and sizes is also recommended.

I can teach: Card Crafts contains the following card projects:

3D Mountboard Flower Card

Somerset Patchwork Card

Shadow Quilting Card

Tea Bag Folded Card

Foil Embossed Card

Glitter Pocket 'Glass Painted' Card

Decoupage Card

Rubber Stamped Card

Quilled Card
