A Creature Was Stirring – Online Lawn Fawn Class
** Note: The LIVE portion has already taken place. Class resources are available. A replay of the class videos, group participation, coloring guides, and handouts **
Join Jenn Shurkus for an online class, hosted in a private Facebook group!
In this class, you will have the opportunity to create 3-holiday cards from start to finish with Jenn. She will have dedicated time to go over Copic coloring of all the images. Then there will be dedicated time to creating the 3 cards. As in Jenn’s in-person classes, this is when she will share tips, tricks, and processes with you. You will also get the opportunity to vote on which interactive card Jenn will teach from start to finish. This interactive card will not be created prior to the video so you will see how she comes up with a cardmaking “plan” as well as how to best assemble the interactive card.
All of the class videos are available to watch in the private Facebook group.
Also included in the class:
- Downloadable coloring guides
- Downloadable class handout which will include 2 BONUS card designs
- Downloadable handout for the impromptu interactive card
Some feedback from previous class attendees:
Jenn is an awesome teacher who breaks down cardmaking for the newbie while still challenging the more seasoned papercrafter. Her classes always include some nuggets of info that many of us have not thought of. Most of all it’s fun and encouraging!- Christine, from RI
Jenn is a great instructor full of energy, creativity and inspiration. She will help you to get your own creative juices flowing. Being able to attend class from anywhere was an added bonus. Jessica, AZ
This was my first class from Jenn, and what a party! Because I live in the Netherlands, it is very difficult for me to follow a personal class, and this was the perfect opportunity. Melanie, Netherlands

How this will work:
Once you have purchased this online class, and your order has processed you will want to join the private Facebook group and access the class resource page.
To find the class Facebook page and class resource page:
- goto https://shurkus.com/my-account
- log in to your account
- then under “my orders” find the order for the particular class, click that
- down towards the bottom, you will see “NEXT STEP”
- There is a link to the class Facebook group, and under that, you will find the link/password to the class resource page
- This is a different password than you used to log into your account.
When requesting to join the private Facebook group, please be sure to answer the 3 questions, this will help me verify that you are signed up.
On the class resource page, you will find the class prep handout. This will include the details of what to have stamped, die-cut, and pre-cut ahead of time before you watch the class videos.
With the supplies you have gathered ahead of time you will be able to watch the videos and to create right along with Jenn as she teaches. You will be able to comment, ask questions, and interact with other students. You can also share your projects in the group. If you happen to miss the live broadcast, or if you want to rewatch it, it will be permanently saved in the group video section. You will still be able to ask questions in the group or reach out to Jenn.
All important announcements and the replays of the videos will be kept in the “Announcements” section of the Facebook group, so they will be easy to find.
FAQ
Q: What if I want to take the class with a friend, should we both register?
A: As many of us are starting to get together with friends again, to hang out and hopefully create together. I wanted to remind you that the policy for my online classes is that everyone who is taking the class should register for the class. It is not fair for a group of friends to get together under one registration. The class fee is very affordable and a lot of hours go into designing and hosting the classes, I hope you will understand and support me.
Q: How long will you have access to the class
A: Indefinitely (as long as Facebook is around)
Q: I don’t have Facebook. How can I join the class?
A: Because we are using Facebook’s platform to host the class, you must have a Facebook account to join.
Q: I plan on taking the class with a friend, do we both need to sign up?
A: Just as if you were to take the class in-person, everyone that plans to attend the class, should sign up and pay for the class.
Q: I don’t have all the supplies listed.
A: You can always substitute for similar items, or leave something out. Email Jenn if you have questions
Q: Your class is at 11 am Eastern time, but I live in England. What time will your class air?
A: Go to World Clock and personalize the clocks at the top with New York time and your local time.
Q: I took one online live class. Will your next class go to the same group?
A: No, each class will have its own unique Facebook group. You must sign up for each class separately.
Q: Where do I find the video?
A: On the day of class, pull the group up on your phone, tablet, or computer. When class starts, you will see a post that Jenn is going Live in the group. Click on that to watch. After class is over, you can watch the video by clicking on the “Video” section of the group.
Q: What payment options do you offer?
A: All major credit cards and PayPal
Q: Can I have a refund for the class
A: Unfortunately, since you have already gained access to the class resource page, and were provided the website and password there are no refunds.
Q: I have technical problems!
A: Email Jenn and she will do her best to help. However, if she is in the middle of the LIVE she obviously will not be able to get back to you until after. Note that the classes will work well on your computer with a high-speed internet connection. They are not guaranteed to work on tablets, but we have tested them on our iPad and they worked well.
Q: In what language are the classes?
A: The classes are in English. There is no written transcript of the videos.
Q: When will the class handout be available?
A: All handouts are posted on the password-protected class resource page and available now

Having discovered Jenn in 2021 and taken all her online classes since then, I am finally getting to complete her previously offered online classes. This class, A Creature Was Stirring, is the last one I needed to finish. This was such a fun class!! All the cards are my favorite! The bonus cards are just as awesome as the 3 class cards. And, there is even a bonus bonus card!! As always, Jenn’s handout and instructions are fantastic but what stood out to me the most this class is her communication with class participants. Many of the crafters who took the class live are the same crafters who take her current classes. That is amazing to me. She has had the same core group of followers since 10/20!! Of course her fan club had grown since then but those same original people continue to learn new techniques from, to get fresh content and, basically, to find value in what she offers. I personally know that her teaching has made me a much better crafter. Although I didn’t discover her in the beginning, I am a faithful follower now and appreciate that she continues to offer me new things to learn and the opportunity to improve what I already do.

I took this when it was live and I remember the experience very well because I had so much fun taking this class! I was so excited that I could take a virtual class with Jenn, but I didn’t have any Copic markers so I used the color palette she had developed and found watercolors I could use. I could pause the video to finish a step and that really makes it so easy to “do you” in her online classes! She’s so good at answering questions if you are taking the class live, but also pays attention when you tag her in the replay so that she can help you later as well! Jenn obviously puts in so much time and attention for how long the class takes and allowing time for checking in with everyone to make sure most people are able to create along with her. I have a feeling it comes with her experience with teaching in person – she knows how to make the class fit the timeframe and not everyone who teaches online is good at that. I would highly recommend every class Jenn teaches as a fun, crafty getaway with friends because it certainly feels like that every time I take her classes!

I’ve always wanted to take one of Jenn’s classes & was thrilled when she offered this online class. Jenn is such a great teacher and the cards are precious! You learn so many things and have a great time doing it! Another invaluable thing is that you have access to the class forever (well, for the life of FB).

As someone who lives far from Lawn Fawn or any LSS, I watched classes go on for years without any ability to access them myself. But with all the bad 2020 brought, it also brought virtual classes that anyone could take from anywhere. This was one of the first I took advantage of (when first offered) & Jenn’s classes remain some of the best. I originally learned Copic coloring from a very fussy “fine art” instructor and struggled with keeping the fun of what I was trying to create. Jenn’s relaxed- enjoy the process- very non-fussy approach was a welcome breath of fresh air & renewed my love for coloring . The best part/ value is the handouts though, the time put into showing layers/ blends & additional “bonus” designs is GOLD!

This was my second class with Jenn, the first being one of her last in-person classes of 2019, which I loved. I wasn’t sure how online would compare with in-person, but it was still a lot of fun and I learned so much. In some ways, online is better because you have access to replay/pause the class videos as much as you want. You also have access to all your supplies so you can re-stamp & diecut anything you’re unhappy with. The cards you make are just adorable, and you’ll want to make them over and over.

This was the first online card class Jenn offered and I cannot say enough positive things about the class. Jenn has such a great personality and it really shows in her classes. This class was creative, but also gives you great instructions if you’re new to card making or Copic coloring. She provides a well planned agenda and print out of instructions, so if you can’t keep up with the pace of the class, you can still get crafty on your own. If you haven’t had an opportunity to take one of Jenn’s classes, I suggest you start with this one because I feel it has the best opportunity to learn a little bit of coloring, card assembly, and glitter. We love all the sparkly things!
