You can send me a picture of your Christmas Tree Card (optional) and I will give you feedback. I can't wait to see what you have created!Class Experience
In this self-paced class learners will have a pre-recorded video where they can follow along to understand how to create a fun Christmas Tree with a pattern at their own pace. Learners may stop the video when they need a few extra minutes to work on any part of the process of creating their card and start the video again when they are ready for the next step.
I guide learners step by step as we work on creating a card at the same time. My pace is slow but steady as I work on the card while the learner works on their card. These cards are great to give away to others during the holiday season or may add to the holiday decor as a display on a table to show a learner's artwork. If you’re wanting to send the card, I include how to make their own 5x7 envelope to put their card in if they want to make their own envelope.
The Christmas Tree Card I create on the video will be a colorful, patterned Christmas Tree. A fun and unique way to make a colorful Christmas Tree for the holiday season.
This self-paced class is a pre-recorded 23:01 minute video.
Learners may use different colored markers to use on their Christmas Tree if they want to have different colors on their Christmas Tree. Depending on how quickly a learner works on their Christmas Tree they may have to finish the Christmas Tree after the video has ended, unless they pause the video when needed to stay on the same step as I am to finish this project with me on the video. Learners may make creative choices while working on their artwork to make it unique and personalized to them.
Optional: A second pre-recorded video (24.19 minutes) is included on how to make an envelope to go with the card. I go step by step with a lot of guidance and tips on how to make the envelope. This envelope takes less time to make once you know how to make it, but I go at a slow steady pace to make sure learners are successful in making the envelope for their card.
