If I knew these existed when I first started using Altenew stamps they probably would've been helpful. Came across these during a promotion, but after having been making cards for quite a few years, these are a bit redundant for me. Also the course are really really long. I would probably appreciate (even as a beginner) a bit shorter videos and also not having to click through multiple webpages to get from one video to another.
Really nice easy to follow, her directions were very specific and helpful to a new person like me. She moves step by step and explains in detail how to layer and how to avoid mistakes.
The course was a realy eyeopener for me!
Thanks Nicole!

This was a fun class with lots of tips and techniques for those last minute cards you might need around the Holidays.

I found it informative but as I had already done A wee bit of masking before I found it too basic for what I was wanting.
Otherwise it's a great class!
This is a very clear and informative course with lots of ideas to create beautiful layered cards.
I loved this course. Svitlana introduces many advanced masking elements I had never even thought of or seen before. I learned so many new things, and am inspired and motivated to try masking again. Even using the more basic masking she shows us how to create multiple-layered works that are simply gorgeous. I would go so far as to say that every card-maker would want to attend this course.

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.
