Included in the class is a downloadable class handout that will include: class prep information step-outs of the techniques you will be learning instructions listed per technique Also included is a bonus handout showing samples seen during class, with links to more information about them Some feedback from previous class attendees: Jenn’s use of product, coupled with her tips, tricks, and easy to learn and follow techniques, has broadened my creativity! I find myself becoming comfortable doing some things I wasn’t comfortable doing before! She is a great teacher and her classes are amazing! – Jackie, Little Canada, MN Jenn’s classes are so much fun and very instructive. I really think beginners to old pros at card making can enjoy and get something out of these classes. And the fact that you can watch the videos whenever you want is an added bonus. The handouts alone are worth the price of the class. If you want a day of fun creating, sign up for a class! – Anne, MA As a “work in progress” card maker, I found Jenn’s class incredibly helpful! I learned so many new tips and tricks and am now able to expand the utilization of the materials that I already own. Jenn was extremely engaging and supportive before, during and after the class! The class would be perfect for new and experienced crafters! Order class supplies Kits will not be shipped for this class, so there are some supplies you should have on hand.
