You’ll dive into design principles and learn how to create an eye pleasing design. You’ll learn all about composition & balance in a way that will take your cards from good to great!
Become adventurous and explore some of the hottest trends in paper crafting! In this workshop, you’ll also learn how to incorporate colors in your projects & how to create cards in several unique styles.
Included in this workshop are over 30 brand-new card samples from Julie and her contributors. The three chapters contain a printable PDF for a total of over 40 pages, and 80 minutes of coordinating video tutorials. Julie’s talented contributors include card makers Laura Bassen & Michelle Wooderson.
At the end of this journey, you’ll find a BONUS chapter filled with souvenirs! Create a trendy card set with the card making kit designed by Marcy Penner of Hello Forever. The kit will be available for download as a PDF and as a cutting file you can use with your Silhouette machine.
The content of this workshop will be available immediately upon purchase. The lessons are available for you to work at your own pace and upon purchase can be accessed in the "Workshops" section under "Classes & Events."

Awesome! I would love to win a spot in this class as I love giving cards that I've made myself, because they are so much more personal. But sometimes I'm just not really satisfied with the end result.

I've never taken any kind of class here before.. or anywhere .. so I'm not even sure how it works.. I love making cards, but there are so many techniques (distressing, for one) that I wouldn't tackle without some kind of instruction... and anything I try and duplicate (or CASE) really never ends up looking like it should!! LOL.. so I could use some help.. thanks..!!

I have soooo much in my crafting room that I am just not using and making cards is a way to get me in there because I know that I can finish them and feel accomplished. It's just seems that each card I've made by hand doesn't look the way I'd hoped...maybe this class could help me figure out why. Thanks for the chance to win - at this price I'm likely to buy it anyway!
Posted by: Nicole H | 01/09/2013 at 09:39 PM

This class is a definite must! I LOVE making cards! Since I started papercrafting, my husband and I have never given out store-bought cards (although I do like browsing these cards because it gives me inspiration). Needless to say, this included making our wedding invitations and wedding thank you's. Since I make cards all the time and a locally-owned store is interested in carrying some of my cards, any inspitation is fabulous! Thanks for the opportunity to win a spot in this great class!

I am a cardmaker and can't live without my crafty fix. Sometimes inspiration is lacking or I find a card needs something but I don't know what is missing to tie it all together. This is what I'm hoping to get from Julie's class.
