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.
Marika's style of coloring is beyond beautiful..and her lessons in this class has helped my style improve! One of my favorite classes in the AECP line-up.

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.

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.
