I am a big fan of Therese Calvird's work. And I was really looking forward to doing this class. It was even better than I expected! I got lots of new ideas on using my 3D dies. I would highly recommend it!
I really enjoyed this class. I had not done much 3D die-cutting but I recently purchased the 3D Hibiscus Garden set and thought a class would be useful in learning tips for this technique. I love the cards I created while working through the six lessons.
I absolutely loved this class by Therese Calvird. I took the class after the fact and found it so very easy to follow. She has a lovely way of teaching and challenging us all at the same time. I have crafted for years but know that I can always learn knew tips, tricks and discover great ideas by learning from others. This class was inspiring...I learned so much and will happily add Therese’s tips to my way of doing things. Thank you Therese and thank you Altenew. Oh and of course I will now be adding even more 3D dies to my already burgeoning Altenew collection!! 😃

Check this out. If you could use some help, here’s the tip sheet you need. We all can use some help from time to time and this will help get you going with layering. Well worth getting.
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!

Nice look at the artist pan set. Good build of lessons with increasing difficulty as the class progresses.
Sorry I am so late in completing this course but that is what I love about the altenew academy courses they are flexible for me to work at when I can.
I think Emily explains things very clearly and I have found the course very helpful and have learned some things that I have been not doing properly and that is why my watercolouring was not up to the standard I expected so Emily thank you and I hope to do more watercolouring in the future as I really love working with these paints

This class is wonderful. Very helpful in understanding the color wheel that I have “looked at” for years. I am starting to comprehend colors!
I sign up for any class you teach—always outstanding!
Thank you, Therese
I do like all of Therese's videos. This class was especially nice. I usually go with same colors but the cards in this video are so beautiful I will start experimenting.
