Snow Much Fun – 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-winter/holiday cards start to finish with Jenn. She will have dedicated time to go over Copic coloring of all the images, as well as watercoloring, and some other techniques we are going to use. Then there will be dedicated time to assembling the 3 cards. As in Jenn’s in-person classes, this is when she will share tips, tricks, and processes with you.
All of the class videos are available to watch in the private Facebook group.
Also included in the class is a downloadable class handout that will include:
- card kit prep information
- images of all the cards, including detailed shots
- supplies listed per card as well as assembly information
- Copic coloring guides (If you do not have Copic markers you can choose to color with a different medium and you will still find the coloring guides helpful)
- 2 bonus card designs
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
Order class supplies
Kits will not be shipped 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 it is encouraged to support a store that Jenn has taught at so they will still be around for in-person classes in the future.

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

I discovered Jenn in the spring of 2021 and immediately became Jennabled to take all her classes. I purchased this class and all others I had missed a couple of years ago. I love that the resources and videos aren’t going anywhere so I can take the classes when it is convenient. Last week it was convenient for me to take this one. First off, the class title “Snow Much Fun” perfectly describes the class. These cards are so much fun to create!! It was kinda of funny taking a class before foam strips, Distress Heavyweight cardstock and other supplies were invented🤣. The one thing that didn’t change is Jenn. She taught in 2020 just like she does today. She provides clear instructions, an awesome class handout and teaches lots of tricks and tips. I think this particular class might be one of my favorites–polar bears with rosy cheeks, it doesn’t get much better than that!

I got so much interest in my Instagram posts for these cards from this class! I didn’t have the exact supplies but I had a lot of stuff that was close enough (I even used an Easter egg frame die instead of the Den die!) and they turned out sooo cute. Thank you, Jenn!
Daisy Mae (verified owner) –
What can I say? Jenn is amazing and the cards are adorable! I have watched this class several times now because these cards were so popular with friends and family. Jenn’s classes are SO worth every penny…and then some. I appreciate that she’s so generous with all the work she puts into these classes and the printouts (which are invaluable).

This was such an adorable class design, even better that it included interactive features! With Jenn’s personality & teaching style I think it’s accessible for the many new crafters out there, as well as interesting enough for those who – well are anything but new lol. Even with a limited arctic color palette & coloring there is still fantastic value to the handouts & videos 🙂

Awesome class! Jenn’s classes are always fun, and you get to make the cutest cards!

This was my first opportunity to play with the interactive dies from Lawn Fawn and Jenn made it so easy! She has a great personality for teaching classes, keeps the pace steady. She doesn’t go too fast for beginners, but not so slow that you get bored. Online creative classes have been one of the good things to come out of COVID. Jenn provides a wonderful set of instructions that are detailed and laid out very nicely. If you need to stop and watch the classes later, you can. You can speed up during the replay or create more than one of each design if you are a more experienced crafter. Super fun class and a bargain for the price!
