Beth Bailey – Fabric Christmas/Holiday Card Workshop

This workshop is centered around learning the processes, materials and techniques for creating a series of 5×7” fabric Christmas cards to share this holiday season. These cards can be glitzy and glamorous, or simple and contemporary, but always fun to create!

The flavor is in the fabric, trimmings, thread and creator. There is no need to stick to reds and greens on these adorable, framable cards. You can get away with whatever your stash hands you. That being said, there are loads of holiday fabrics, trims, ribbons and on and on out there. These cards will be one of your favorite handmade gifts to share this year.
