Description
Start the new year ready to celebrate!
Cue the Confetti: Cards Worth Celebrating is a fun, technique-filled Altenew Academy class designed to help you get a headstart on your 2027 birthday card stash while building skills you can use for celebrations all year long.
Through a series of progressive projects, you'll explore creative ways to combine festive focal points, dimensional backgrounds, layered elements, colorful details, and birthday sentiments to create cards that feel extra special. Rather than waiting until the next birthday sneaks up on you, you'll be inspired to create ahead and begin the new year with beautiful handmade birthday cards already completed and ready to send!
Each instructor will guide you through three progressive projects—beginner, intermediate, and advanced— with techniques building from one project to the next. You'll start with approachable designs before adding more layers, dimension, texture, and creative details as your confidence grows.
From balloons and birthday hats to cakes, sentiments, and celebratory details, you'll discover plenty of inspiration for creating birthday cards for everyone on your list.
What You'll Learn
- Build a versatile stash of handmade 2027 birthday cards early
- Progress through beginner, intermediate, and advanced technique steps
- Add rich dimension using 3D embossing folders and layered die-cuts
- Combine balloons, cakes, hats, and birthday sentiments harmoniously
- Batch-produce cards efficiently while keeping each design uniquely special
- Adapt festive celebration techniques to the craft supplies in your stash
By the end of this class, you'll have new techniques, plenty of birthday inspiration, and a great reason to head into 2027 saying, "I already have a card for that!."
