Birthday Bash – Online Class

Birthday Bash is an opportunity to create 4 unique cards from start to finish! Jenn will have dedicated time to go over the Copic coloring of all the images. Jenn & Chari will share instructions for building scenes with your cards. As always throughout the class tips and tricks will be shared.  Jenn & Chari will also share the designs of 2 bonus cards, using the supplies we used in class. Tons of inspiration for you to use with your crafty supplies!

Some feedback from previous class attendees:

Order class supplies

Jenn does not ship kits for this class, so there are some supplies you should have on hand. Jenn will also provide images of what should be stamped and die-cut before class. If you are looking to purchase ANY of these supplies Jenn provides a list of stores and links where you can find these products. You can find this list of stores and links to their shops and online shops here.
