Let’s dive into what you can expect from this class, how to register, and how to gather everything you need to make these cards truly stand out.


What to Expect in the Poinsettia & Pinecones Holiday Card Class

Four Festive Card Designs with a Twist

This class is centered around four distinct card designs that each have a unique take on holiday elegance, all featuring the Poinsettia & Pinecones Stamp Set and Dies. One of my favorite things about using these stamps is how they capture the rich, classic look of poinsettias and pinecones. This gives us the freedom to go for traditional colors or to add a bit of shimmer or non-traditional hues for something modern. I love watching students discover their own style, and these designs let you be as classic or contemporary as you like.


In each card, we’ll experiment with different layouts, layering techniques, and compositions to create designs that feel cohesive but unique. I’ll be sharing some of my go-to tips for bringing out those little details that make handmade cards so special.


Pro Tip: When working with layered designs, I recommend trying a mix of flat and foam adhesive. This adds dimension without overwhelming the design and makes those poinsettias look like they’re popping off the card!

Video & Written Tutorials for Easy Learning

Whether you’re a visual learner or prefer written instructions, this class has you covered. Along with step-by-step written tutorials, I’ll also provide a video walkthrough for each card design. This means you’ll be able to watch as I go through each step in real-time and refer back to the written instructions anytime.


And don’t worry if you’re newer to card making! I’ve designed this class to be accessible to all skill levels. I’ll break down each technique in a way that’s easy to follow, so you’ll feel confident recreating these cards or even experimenting with your own twist on the designs.
