<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I have been making cartonnage boxes and cases for a few
years and I am so happy with the projects I have made… I started with simple
ones, just a few pieces of cardboard, paper and fabric and I made beautiful
journal covers, hinged lid boxes and more. Then I started getting more and more
excited about this technique and all the possibilities of shapes and sizes of
boxes I could make.</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Since then I have
made several different boxes, suitcases, cases….. wonderful unique pieces that
I am so proud of have made them! </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Plus have
been teaching </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">this technique for
hundreds of students in in-person and online classes have been making my life so full of
purpose and happiness!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">You may know, maybe not, but when living in Brazil before
moving to the US in 2012, I was a food engineer….yeah! I worked with food
companies, restaurants for about 12 years, but at the time we moved here, I
wasn’t happy with my profession and I decided that moving to here, I was not
just changing the place I was living, but I would be also changing my work and
my life.... And I did!! And I am so happy I did it! I always loved arts and crafts and so when I
discovered Cartonnage I fell in love with this amazing craft and couldn’t stop
anymore…. I found my new work: a crafter, a teacher, a cartonnage
designer! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Well, my husband laugh and says that at least my engineer
course is helping me now to build the boxes….and
he is not totally wrong…. May be all the knowledges I have learned in college and in my previous work help me
when designing new pieces, some projects have 30 or more pieces that need to
fit perfectly…. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Until last year I was always using commercial fabrics in all
my boxes and cases. So many wonderful patterns we have in great quilt stores. But then……the artist inside me starting
thinking and missing some arts I used to make in my earlier years…. I have
painted towels, glass, plaster and used to have so much fun around the paints….
So, one idea started to come in my mind frequently….. why not try to paint my
own fabric for my cartonnage projects?...... start with white fabric and make everything??</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiorExnvnvyIZ7VCTyQxl3MWpnO6IrHf4LZtOh9b2f1wMz7WrPZKa7b0LaKxlBKflTC_7r516AWNwQHCsgWh40xTkuq623x6A143NKgSiA05wQqBrQL5tL3pxFhjHJARvbopVNhze0-Yw-A/s1600/IMG_5707.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiorExnvnvyIZ7VCTyQxl3MWpnO6IrHf4LZtOh9b2f1wMz7WrPZKa7b0LaKxlBKflTC_7r516AWNwQHCsgWh40xTkuq623x6A143NKgSiA05wQqBrQL5tL3pxFhjHJARvbopVNhze0-Yw-A/s400/IMG_5707.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Then, I decided to start learning how
could I do that! At this point, I have watched many videos in the internet, so many
wonderful ideas there, but not sure what to do.
In the same time I met a great talented fiber artist in Indiana, </span><b style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Lynn
Hodge</b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">, and her love for paints and
fabrics make me be totally sure I would find my way to paint my fabric! So, I
made some tests, trying to find my style in painting and also the best way to
apply them to my projects, because, more than paint I also want to do more…. I
also like to sew (not very talented in this though, but with practice I will be
better), and adding some stitches, free-motion quilts could improve even more
my projects and give me even more pleasure making it!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Let me make this clear, I am not trying to totally change my
work, I will continue making new
cartonnage projects and using some gorgeous commercial fabric, but this new
idea is to fill my inner artist spirit with more joy and why not maybe to
inspire others??</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This January was very special for me, with this cold weather
up here in Michigan, some snow outside, I took the time for myself, to try, to
learn, to try again, to have fun…… and I am so happy with my results so far,
that I want to share some of them with you! I hope you like my journey that is
just starting……<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Today I am gonna tell you about one course I took this
weekend and what I made from there! I
have other pieces I made using another techniques to paint, but I will share in
the next post, as I want to make some more to combine more ideas into that technique.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So, let’s talk about turning white fabric into amazing
designs using <b>hand dyeing</b>! I took this
class at <a href="http://www.smithowensew.com/classes.htm" target="_blank">Smith-Owen Sewing and Quilting</a> store with this great teacher <a href="http://www.selcfabrics.com/" target="_blank">SueCortese, from SELC fabrics</a>. I have tried dyeing other times, but taking a
class changed everything….. so, now I am aware of what and why to do! And here
is the point that chemistry arrive again in my life.... During the class I was
feeling like when I was in my chemistry
labs during my college and master….. so fun!
Dyeing is totally chemistry! The reaction between the fabric, the dyes and activator will create beautiful designs! Loved!
Take a look at some pictures during the class……<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">First, he loves coffee and decided to have a new coffee
machine for our house! After searching he found the best choice would be the
Nespresso Vertuoline. He started making
very good coffees, but the capsules were kind of big to fit in the boxes I
already made, and for sure, I didn’t want to buy a new one, as I could have fun
and make my own one by Cartonnage! But I didn’t want to make just “another box”,
I want to make something functional and beautiful! But I didn’t have time for
that….then, for the last two weeks, my countertop was a mess……literally…. Some weird boxes around, so difficult to find
the coffee he wanted...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">but I knew I had to have plenty of time to stop and make a new one! And last Saturday was snowing…..very cold outside in the
morning, so, </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">perfect to be inside and I

<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">And to get started, I asked him (the customer!): What do you want? What
kind of box do you want? How many capsules do you want to fit inside? Do you
want closure?... And he just said he wants a box like the other ones I make, no
closure, and then, he started helping me with the design…..we tried to figure out
the best size for the box…..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So, I made some notes, cut some chipboard, quickly build one temporarily box and we
had our first test!</span></div>

better have space for 20 capsules on top and one extra storage under that to
keep more capsules as they come in the packages….. </span></div>

like that and keep our first idea, it will be easier to access the capsules
without the package…. Glad we decided that!! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So, at the end of the day I was with the box ready, or at
least almost! I knew my husband didn’t want a closure, but I thought that it is
a beautiful box, that deserves something more….. so, my plan was for a closure
and feet (but I didn’t tell him about that until he saw the final box in the
next day!....)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">You may know, may not, but in cartonnage, we use masking tape as part
of the process and we need to wait some hours to remove it…..for sure….not easy
time to pass …… I was so curious to see the final box…but, I put something heavy
over and kept like that until next day, Sunday!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When I saw this coloring fabric for the first time, I was so excited to try it! The first thing I made were some journal covers, but I did them as part of my daughter's birthday party! I gave the fabric for the girls to paint during the party, and then I made the covers.....but that took a while to finish and I just was able to deliver the covers to my daughter's friends some days after the party! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But now, with this idea things are much better!! We can first make the pieces and then give to people to paint on it! They are not coloring pages, but they are even better..... coloring boxes, journal covers, notepad covers, bookmarks....or....what else your imagination wants to create with cartonnage!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The only thing, as they are made with fabric the recommendation is for coloring them with fabric markers!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here some pictures during the process and the final pieces I made so far.....for sure, I will make many more! It's so fun!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I really love reusing materials and cereal boxes, cracker boxes... even dishwasher soup boxes are great to make bookmarks and other simple pieces.... if you haven't try it yet, I have one online free course with lots of ideas for this, you can check it out <a href="http://learncartonnage.colorwayarts.com/p/joycartonnagefree" target="_blank">here</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I am loving making the videos showing how to make simple, easy and beautiful Christmas gifts or decoration! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Just a few simple materials, most of the time reusing cereal boxes and using scraps of fabric! Don't miss this!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here are the pieces I am teaching in the videos:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You may or may not know, I just moved from Fishers, IN to Grand Haven, MI. Here in my new place I got one special space to have my studio. In this room, I will be creating and making my arts, taking the pictures of the pieces for the instructions and also making the videos for my online classes! I'm so excited about this! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Everytime I have a new space I love to decorate it in a special way! And it was not different this time! I had one idea in mind for a long time, but wasn't sure if would work! Then.....well.... let me know what I did and......had so much fun making!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">All started when I saw some pictures of shelves in the internet, reusing old shutters, and I loved the idea! Here in West Michigan there are many antique shops and I went to several of them till I found what I felt could work!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then, after settled in the new house, I decided to work with this project! So, following the directions I have <a href="http://www.artsychicksrule.com/2013/06/repurposed-bi-fold-doors-duck-egg-blue-chalk-paint.html" target="_blank">found on internet</a>, I painted all of them with latex painting. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I am so glad</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> to let you know that I have updated my DIY cartonnage kits! That was in my mind for a long time and finally I made them much more functional, not just to use in my classes, but also for everyone that wants to make fabric boxes or other pieces using Cartonnage technique.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Each DIY kit now has 2 options: </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">* <b>STARTER</b> kit with instructions, that comes with all pieces of paper board, poster board and kraft paper precut to make the project and a CD with instructions that contains lots of pictures showing the whole process, step by step! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">* THE <b>KIT ONLY</b>, so, if you already know how to make the piece then you can buy just the kit itself, with all pieces of paper ready to add your favorite fabric and make the project!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">With the same instruction you can make more than one size of box, so, with the instruction that come with the Small Fabric box (DIY kit 102) you can also make the Medium fabric box (DIY kit 131) and the Square fabric box (DIY kit 106). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Another kind of kit is for boxes with dividers! They are great to hold tea bags, K-cups and other coffe cups.... With the instruction that come in these boxes is possible to make the Fabric box with 4 divisions (Tea box) (DIY kit 108) and the Fabric box with 6 divisions (for tea bags, dog treats, or k-cup without dividers) (DIY kit 143).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Another way to learn how to make the linged lid fabric boxes (without or with dividers), it is learning online. You can buy the DIY kit only and learn with videos in my <a href="http://learncartonnage.colorwayarts.com/courses/box" target="_blank">FABRIC COVERED BOX online course</a>, this course also include the instructions with pictures step by step.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A fabric pencil box with magnet closure is a great idea! The students are so happy with this box!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Life is full of surprises..... our
family was so happy in Indiana, lots of friends, my work was growing, more
students were join Cartonnage with me….. and then….. suddenly we got to
start everything over again! Due to my husband’s new job we have to move… look for a house in a new city, new state…. and we have
been in this process for almost 6 months…. </span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If you have passed for a situation
like that, you probably know how exciting and frustrating that can be at
the same time…. but now, that everything is getting solved, we found our place and as
we have been enjoying a great summertime in our new city near the Lake Michigan
(even in a small temporary living), we can say that we will be very
happy in Michigan as well! I know winter time will come with lots of cold weather and
snow, but we will enjoy it for sure. Grand Haven, Michigan, will be our new address (our definitive moving will
be by the end of August)! God knows our path better than us, so, even when we
don’t understand the things in the moment, latter we will find the purpose!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">(My family at Muskegon State Park, MI, June, 2016)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">During these six months, I have been planning the future,
learning new fiber arts techniques with an amazing new friend (thanks
Lynn!!), listening to my heart and deciding how to continue my work from now! I
know some of my students were expecting more classes, but trust me, I needed
that time to think and to start over now with much more confidence!
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I also have been
working in the new plans I have for the future! I can’t tell so much now, but I think you will love, I am preparing everything with so much
care! The DIY kits will have a new look
and will be available in selected stores….. A great online Free
workshop will happen in September…. New online classes are coming! I am enjoying the time and making all
of them the best I can! Wait for more news as I go ahead and finish them…..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Another thing I have been working and enjoying so much is looking
to my projects in a different way…. instead of designing more advanced pieces
at this time, I decided to turn my hinged lid boxes and journal covers
into something really unique, something that I am so proud and happy making …even
with my lack of skills for that!!... but that doesn’t matter for me now, the
important thing here is that I had so much fun making and I know everyone that
join me in this new journey for Cartonnage will be so happy with the results as
well! At the end, I don’t know if will be easy to give away the pieces…. Because they are
made with the soul... they are not just crafts….they are arts!!…… but for sure
those would be amazing gifts!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What you will see below is what I am talking about! Inspired
in the nature that I am surrounded now (tulips, flowers, lake, boats…..) and
mixing other arts with cartonnage, those are what I got till this moment! Please
don’t take a closer look to my sewing’s…. I am not good at all in this….I have
so much to learn from all of you, my students and friends that are great
quilters…. And I will learn soon…. But I had to make those even with this lack
of skill to sew, because I loved the overall results, and I am imagining how
beautiful pieces my students will make from here…..<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The first ones I made right after visiting Holland for a Tulip
Festival in May….. For these pieces I used a fabric that I had hand painted some
time ago and I coordinate it with denim (I love using denim!)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

you liked… I can tell you that I had so much fun in every part of the
process. For sure I will continue making pieces just covered with fabric, but with this option of mixing arts we can
add even more value, personal value to Cartonnage pieces, do you agree? Do
you want to try it? I will love hearing from you! Comment! </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You will need two pieces of paper with the
same shape for each ornament. To reuse cereal box, cut the front and back of the empty box and
draw the shapes you want on it (picture 1). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I made the circles with 2.5 in (6,5 cm) diameter, but you can make it with the
dimension you want. You can use a base of a circle mug, for example, to draw
the shapes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The diamond ones I made with 3 x 3 in (8 x 8 cm) and the
frontal detail with 1.5 x 1.5 in (4 x 4
cm), or 2 x 2 in (5 x 5 cm). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After
drawing the shapes, use scissor or craft knife with metal ruler and cut the
shapes (pictures 2 and 3). Attention: to have great finishing for your ornaments take your time and cut
the shapes as perfect as you can. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Apply glue over the unprinted side of the cereal box circle. Spread the glue very well,
you have to have a thin layer covering all paper. Do not put too much glue. Then, glue this paper over the center of the
back side of the fabric. Flip over and press over the fabric with your hands,
making sure the fabric is well glued, without bubbles. (pictures 4 and 5) <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Apply glue over the unprinted side of the cereal box diamonds. Spread the glue very well, you have to have a thin layer covering all paper. Do not put too much glue. Then, glue this paper over the center of the back side of the fabric. Flip over and press over the fabric with your hands, making sure the fabric is well glued, without bubbles. (pictures 4, 5 and 6) <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Before folding and gluing the fabric over the paper, we need
to cut the fabric at all corners, to have a good finishing. To do that, you can
use a corner miter tool that it is a very functional tool for that, OR, if you
don’t have it, you can cut with scissor (pictures 7), but you
have to have some fabric at the corner, do not cut straight with the paper. You
can find the corner miter tool <a href="http://bit.ly/cornermitertool" target="_blank">here</a>. If you
want to see better how to do this step, take a look at this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsY-To3NdOc" target="_blank">video</a>. </span></div>

paper (picture 9) and also apply glue on the fabric at both corners of this edge (picture 10). Using a plastic spatula, fold the fabric over
the paper and press down until be well glued (picture 11). Also press down on the fabric at
both corners (picture 12). Repeat this
to the opposite edge, and then apply glue and fold the fabric over the other edges (picture 13). Make sure your corners are neat. If you need, make adjustments with your fingers (picture 14). Cover like that the three paper diamonds (picture 15).</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As a cartonnage teacher, I know how important is to
have great finishing on our Cartonnage projects. If you have had a chance to
take classes with me, you know how to have great corners, but, you may have
forgot some details..... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
If you didn't take a class with me, then, it is kind of difficult for me to add
all the tips on a written instruction. So, I decided to make a video showing
in detail how to apply glue and have great and neat corners for all cartonnage
projects! The tips are also great for bookbinding!<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The first Cartonnage piece I have made using paper, fabric and glue was one reusable journal cover! At that time I fell in love for this amazing technique and couldn't stop anymore...... I love the way we can coordinate fabric, cut different sizes of paper and always have a new and unique piece!</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My students love the journal cover, they are so proud of using them and also they have made some of them for gifts. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">That's why I decided to offer an <i>ONLINE</i> class for making a reusable journal cover. In this class you will learn everything to make your own fabric journal cover, using the dimensions I give and cutting your paper, or, buying a DIY kit with all paper needed to make the project. Also, I teach how to make a cover for any size of journal. More than this, you will learn:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- Materials and dimensions</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- How to cut paper</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- Important tips</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- Making the outside of the cover</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- Covering the outside with one fabric</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- Making the inside of the cover</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- Variation 1 - applying elastic to the cover</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- Finishing the journal cover</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- Final step: taking off the masking tape and other important tips to solve some problems</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- Variation 2: covering the outside of the cover with two fabrics</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- Variaton 3 - applying button to close the journal</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- Variation 4 - reusing cereal boxes to make small journal covers</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">All these topics are videos (almost 2 h of videos!!) that you will be able to stop, return, pause, and make the project on your own pace! And plus, you will also have instructions with pictures step by step that you can print it out, make notes and follow when making the project.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And I'm excited to share with you the journal covers an online student made recently, aren't they beautiful?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Take a look what she is talking about this online class:</span></div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>Claudia does an excellent job of describing the process of
Cartonnage. The videos are easy to follow and Claudia explains each step in
great detail. You can rewind and fast forward to do the work at your own pace.
Claudia will answer any of your questions that come up. Cartonnage does not
require any specialized tools but the toolkit makes things easier. The
kits will save you time because all the paper is already cut out. But you can
cut the paper out yourself too. Cartonnage is fun and not difficult to learn! I
would recommend these videos for anyone interested in learning about
Cartonnage. </i><b>Betsy</b></span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You may be are thinking what is the difference between having a local class with me or taking an online class?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I would say, if you live near Indianapolis, then you can take my local classes (one or more), and start making some cartonnage classes there. But if you live far from here, then, the online class it is easier for you. Plus, even if you take local classes, or live nearby, when you are taking online classes you have a chance to start the project and make it at your own pace, you can stop, return, make it in parts..... and you will see all the details as you were right in front of me! And you will have the content available forever.... yes, once you buy a class, you will have unlimited access to it!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You may be are thinking that the online classes are expensive!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I would say that I am working hard to offer the best classes I can. I am asking for feedbacks of the students, and I am including any extra information I think is necessary to the complete understanding of the technique, my goal is to see beautiful covers made by all the students! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If you have any question, anytime, you can always contact me and I will be very glad to help you finish your project!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I am working alone, so, I am a small business, and don't have a support of the big craft websites to do that, so, when you buy class for me, you are supporting a small business, a teacher, a family!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Plus, you will not see so much other Cartonnage online classes around.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You may be are thinking and what if I don't like the classes?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Don't worry, I dont' want you to be unhappy. If you are unsatisfied with your class, you have 30 days to have a full refund of your money!</span></div>
<div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If you have any question, please let me know! </span></div>

Have you tried this craft?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have been making Cartonnage for a while and I fell in love for this technique when I made my first project! Since there I am always excited to make a new piece, change fabric, design and get a unique handmade box or case!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As I am also a Cartonnage teacher, I made this video thinking about who wants to know what is cartonnage and also, thinking of my students, that can always take a look on how I cover a piece of paper with fabric.... the base for any Cartonnage project! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, take 4 minutes to look at this short video! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I will be happy to hear from you!<br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thanks, </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am so happy to let you know that my Online Cartonnage school is now LIVE! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have been teaching cartonnage in a store in Noblesville, IN, since beginning of 2014 and my students are making awesome pieces, most of all, special gifts for someone! And then I decided it is time to start teaching online, so, more people including the ones that are living far from me can start making pieces with this amazing craft!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have
learned Cartonnage online from a Brazilian teacher, and so, I know how
important is learning online. Sometimes it is the only option we have, and
that was my case.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With online courses, we can learn in the comfort of our houses, using the time we have. We can stop and return the videos many times as
we need. And more, we can take our time to make the projects and enjoy a
lot!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As the school is starting, I have a few courses now, but I am planning to add
more periodically. </div>
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Right now, I am offering a FREE class with one ebook with basic information about the technique. Also, in this class I will add some simple projects using paper, fabric and glue, periodically. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Another basic class teaching everything you need to know to get started in cartonnage with videos is already available! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">New classes to make a refilable journal cover and to make boxes are coming soon! They are already on a Pre-sale, so, if you want to get the best price for these classes, now it is the time!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I will be always working to offer great videos where you will be
able to see every step in detail and make beautiful Cartonnage pieces, as my local students are making.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When I started working on Cartonnage 3 years ago, I didn’t
know how much I would love this technique…. The reality is that I am just addicted
to that! Turning paper, fabric and glue into beautiful and functional pieces is
what has turned my life so colorful and happy!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3 years ago I started working on my laundry room, and I had
enough space there. Then, I started making more and more projects and also
teaching this and then, the space was so little for me and I also moved for my
guest room…. But, when my mother-in-law came to visit me last year, I had to go
to somewhere else… then, my unfinished basement was the solution for that
moment…and for the following year! Over there all my stuff were at the same
place, but you know, was cold, and weird…..
but I made a lot of beautiful projects there, even in that situation… <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This year we have decided to improve our home and finish our
basement, and….. make one bedroom as my
new studio!! I was so excited!! Many
things to think about, to organize, planning the layout, what kind of furniture
would fit in a 12 x 12 ft bedroom and make it a functional Cartonnage studio. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">During the construction I moved all my
stuff again to the laundry and guest room…. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We bought the furniture and my husband assembled them while the
basement was not totally done. Last week
and over the weekend we put everything in place and this week I have
started making some projects there…..and it is more than I was expecting…… wonderful….so
functional…… I guess I will make many wonderful projects down there from now!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After thinking, planning, I decided to make my studio all of IKEA furniture.
I wanted to have all white furniture, and
make some tables adapted for my work. I
had a layout already planned, so we went
to the nearest IKEA and spent all day there looking, separating, picking up and
bringing home all we need! It was a long day…..<span style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
