We are excited to announce our Create & Connect CARDS BY THEME virtual card-making event! We are thrilled that Altenew has signed on as our guest company for this event. Join us in February for two jam-packed days full of crafty fun with our amazing instructors: Bridget Casey (representing Altenew class), Heather Hoffman, Jennifer McGuire, Lea Lawson, Raquel Arribas, and Yana Smakula. Our press plate add-on instructors are Isha Gupta, Dawn Woleslagle, and Erica Andersson.

For our very first CARDS BY THEME event, we will focus on the following card themes: Celebrate, Thank you, Hello, Thinking of you, and Birthday. 

You'll have the luxury of creating beautiful, elegant and timeless Pinkfresh Studio & Altenew cards from the comfort of your own home with these amazingly talented designers!

Registering for our Create & Connect virtual event will give you access to 6 LIVE classes during the event dates, plus 3 pre-recorded classes that you can complete at your leisure. These classes will use brand-new Pinkfresh Studio and Altenew products that have never been seen or sold before! Throughout each class, you will explore and learn new card-making techniques while gaining tips and tricks for using your event products. 

Each class will be about 2 hours long, and you will create 2 cards with each instructor. We will provide a printed booklet for each class with instructions for each card created in case you want to complete the class projects at your own pace.

Each instructor will also provide 2 bonus projects and instructions for make-and-take cards that you will create on your own. These will give you more ideas for stretching your supplies and getting continued use from all the beautiful products in your event kit! Out of two make-and-take projects, one will have a short video as well as written instructions, and one will have written instructions only.
