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.

This was such a great class! You can never have too many birthday cards in your stash and these cards are SO cute. Jenn and Chari work great together and it was a treat to have them both leading the class. I was in a bit of a creative funk and this class lifted me right out of it. I’m re-energized to continue crafting. I highly recommend!
Daisy Mae (verified owner) –
Such a fun class! The cards are adorable and Jenn makes learning the techniques so easily understandable. Her pace is great and Chari had some fun additions to add to the mix. Never hesitate to take a class with Jenn…the value is unmatched!

This was such a fun class and I was delighted to have 4 adorable birthday cards to add to my stash at the end of the day. Even my hubby commented on how cute they are. The class handouts are so well done and a wonderful reference, especially if you are working on developing your coloring skills. Jenn and Chari set a good pace for the class and are both so personable, you just feel like you are spending the day with your crafty friends. I highly recommend any of Jenn’s classes!
