All About Cardmaking Classes
Once upon a time I was offering one class a month, and more importantly, one type of class every month. Then, along came 2020 and everything changed! Since virtual classes in 2020-2021 gave me the opportunity to connect with new stampers far and wide, I want to continue offering a variety of classes so that EVERYONE can participate! Here are the class types I currently offer.
Zoom Crafting sessions
- Sessions are free
- 2-3 sessions per month, starting at 7:30pm (Pacific)
- Anyone is welcome to attend
- Use supplies you already have on hand
- Participate from anywhere!
- Pajamas are encouraged 😊
These Zoom sessions are a win-win-win! No cost, no commitment, and very little prep time – spend time chatting and crafting, and enjoy learning a variety of layouts and techniques!
It’s always fun to see everyone’s different papers, stamps, and colours – everyone’s project will be unique!
Types of Projects
Mystery Stamping – I’ll publish the measurements of cardstock and paper you need to prepare in the days leading up to the event. Find the details here on the Virtual Events page and in the weekly newsletter. Prep your supplies and then join the Zoom meeting to see what we will make together!
Stash Cards – Our aim with a Stash Card session is to use up our hoard of Designer Series Papers (aka pretty patterned papers) by making somewhere between 4 and 20 cards in one session. The designs will use simple layouts and techniques so that you can replicate them yourself. No stamping or embellishing required – add these cards to your stash, then finish them when needed for a specific occasion!
3D Projects – We might make a desk organizer, a treat box, a card folio, or a stationery set! You’ll know the project ahead of time and be able to prep your supplies according to the directions. Then join the Zoom meeting so we can assemble it together!
All About… – Are you curious about a certain technique, tool, or product? Let me know and I’ll teach you all about it! Past topics have included the Stamparatus, watercolouring technique, and Stampin’ Blends. Suggestions are always welcome!
