Step 2: Review the tips and ideas for the workshop.

To create the workshop project as shown here, follow these helpful hints.
  • This workshop project is ideal for creating as a group or on your own and takes approximately 3 hours to complete. Individual completion times may vary.
  • As you cut the paper for the cards, sort the pieces as indicated in the workshop guide, creating a stack for each of the three card styles. For example, if the cutting guide labels a piece of paper as “1A,” place it in the stack for card 1. If it says “2A,” place it in a stack for card 2, and so on.
