Great ideas for last minute cards, but also just great card designs that are clean and simple.
This was a fun class with lots of tips and techniques for those last minute cards you might need around the Holidays. I loved that Julia showed other ways to use Holiday stamps to create cards for other occasions. In my case, I used a detail layer from Majestic Mistletoe to create a friendship card. It's one of my current favorite techniques.

Fun to see how Nancy created holiday cards with some non-traditional colors and stamps!
Great Class. There were some techniques /suggestions I hadn't thought of and are not limited to Christmas cards!
I enjoy the classes, I have never thought of using black for Christmas cards but will be trying some of the class cards. I can also see where I can use others for different occasions. I especially loved the poinsettia cards. It was a good video for a first one and know Nancy will improve as she moves forward.

Class Features:
Absolutely love all of Sara’s videos. This class is a quick trick for creating watercolor type backgrounds without the knowledge of watercolor art. You will love the tips that Sara gives on a whole new way of card making
Pros: The class structure was well done--each of the six lessons covered a different medium used with the gelli plate. The instructor was enthusiastic and detailed. Cons: I thought most of the cards looked very similar--would have liked to see more variety. Also, sadly I ruined my gelli plate following the directions in the Lesson 2 video. The instructor says you can use Yupo paper if you work quickly. I followed her directions (working quickly) but the paper immediately stuck to the plate, taking chunks out of it when I pulled it off. Not good advice. If you go on the Gelli Plate website (https://www.gelliarts.com/pages/faq#nine), it specifically states:
Q: Are there any papers that should NOT be used?
A: Yes! We have learned that glossy coated paper stock is not compatible with the Gelli® plate. It can immediately stick to the plate and not come off without damaging the plate's surface. DO NOT use any glossy papers (including glossy photo papers).
I share this hoping other students will enjoy the class, but not follow this advice and make this mistake.
This technique was definitely new to me and I enjoyed the course. Definitely fun.
This is one of my favorite classes I've taken from Altenew. I've had a gelli plate in my stash for a long time but never used it. This class gave me so many ideas on how to use it. It push me to be creative with the use of it too!

Class Features:
I enjoyed this course. It was nice to see how different art forms can inspire one to be creative in card making. The 'Muse Brainstorm Guide" is a wonderful resource. I have found this guide helpful to "think outside the box". It was great to see so many art forms discussed. It does give one a broad overview of ways to expand your vision in card making. Thank you for sharing your perspectives. I recently took the "Runway Inspired Card Making" course. I found that this 'Muse" course was a great foundation for the newer course. "Muse" offers an overview of different art forms to draw inspiration from while the newer course concentrates on one art form. The guide discussed in 'Muse" is certainly applicable to use with the newer course too. Both courses complement each other.

It was a great video reminder that you can make lovely cards without having to fussy cut, die cut or be so precious in your crafting. Thanks
I love these tutorials and that they are on my computer so that I can call them up anytime. Altenew has clear directions and great ideas to use their stamps. Fabulous company.
Enjoyed the class. Learned new techniques. One gets so hung up on layering because of all the gorgeous products coming out that one forgets the beauty of simplicity and planning a project. Thanks Kelly. Oh I did cheat a little with the layer die cuts, but the rest of the card is using Kelly's technique. Just an example of poor planning on my part.

Class Features:
Justine does a great job! She is very relaxed and honest about her own trials and fixes. The techniques are very do-able and it's easy to see how they can be enhanced into more complex projects. The Tips and tricks section of each lesson is terrific. Just three little tips for each lesson serve as great reminders about how each technique's effectiveness and ease can be maximized. She packs a LOT into each video. Thank you.
Justine presents in a direct and instructive manner, her classes reach artists of all levels giving them new tools to add to their crafting skill.
I was very pleased with Justine's ability to make each session informative for all skill levels and highlight different products to enhance one's cards. It was a great introduction or review of simple card techniques. Justine's progression to more advanced levels was great for both new and "seasoned" stampers. If you were new it pointed out the level of creativity one could achieve with practice .If you were a "seasoned" stamper it kept your interest by reintroducing things you may have forgotten about. Also, sometimes "seasoned" stampers can get into set ways and this helps stimulate one to get creative in new ways. A most enjoyable course.
Justine's class was excellent. I really liked that she had three levels (basic, intermediate and advanced) for each of her classes. I would love to take more classes from her. I really enjoy the Altenew Academy classes.

I have a new interest in watercolor painting, because of the beautiful results I see achieved with this technique. This class helped me to learn the basics of how to use watercolors with my outline stamps from Altenew. I can’t wait to try out my new-found knowledge!
Lydia is such a wonderful teacher, who provides clear directions and tips as well as inspiration. I am continuing to practice with watercolors in hopes of creating things as inspiring as Lydia. Thank you so much for your guidance on my journey with watercolors.
I am a huge fan of Lydia Evans and her great videos. I loved the techniques taught in this class and have tried many of them.
