Great and very informative on how you start up with water colours if you are a beginner! Perfect! Thank you so much!! I have many more tips and tricks with water colours!

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

Loved it! After years of crafting, I love learning new things and seeing fresh new ideas! Keep up the good work!
I watched your videos straight through without stopping. I love the idea of using just a part of your stamp and stamping off. It gives almost an x-ray effect.... just lovely.
On my best day, I could never make anything half as beautiful or artsy as Marika, but I love watching her create beautiful images and how she makes it look effortless.
It is so resourceful. I was left with the feeling I WANT MORE CLASSES LIKE THAT.Please make Beautiful Details classes 2, 3, 4, 5 etc.

So much in this Class, going to be a re-watching it over and over again. Thank you Jaycee and Altenew.
I haven't done my homework, (oops) but watching the classes has given me lots of ways to improve my cards. Instructions seem to be easy to follow and I will be dipping in and out of the classes to put it all into practice
I agree with several of the other reviewers (and I usually make a point of NOT reading reviews before I write a review for a product), this was the best class I have taken. I learned SO much I was blown away. I am glad the class is available for repeat viewing because it will take several more times to even absorb half of the information JAYCEE provided. His presentation methods are very deliberate and intentional.

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:
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.

This was a wonderful, fun class. I knew what Zentangle was but never thought about applying it to cardmaking. What an eye-opener to enhancing your cards. I thoroughly enjoyed this class.
Really enjoyed the class, I did Zentanlges a couple of years ago in journal pages but never thought to use is on cards. It's wonderful that I can go back and watch the lesson again and again. Amber's instructions / lessons where very easy to follow and a pleasure to do. Please continue include example to remind me to use this relaxing technique. Thank you.
