I wish I had the time to teach cardmaking classes, but unfortunately it’s just not something I can do right now. However, I know so many of you do teach cardmaking classes and I wanted to try something a little different in today’s tutorial and blog post. I wanted to give those of you who do teach some free resources and ideas.
In today’s post, you will find a project that is perfect for the first time cardmaker, a PDF that has the supply list, instructions for your prep and a separate set of instructions with photos that will help guide your students.
Aside from all of the above, I’m also providing a video tutorial that will walk you through the entire process from start to finish!
The Video
Some items used in the video above were sent to me free of charge for design purposes. I only design for companies I can stand behind 100%! To see who I currently or have previously designed for head HERE.

I understand not all of us teach, though, so this project would also make a great card set to add to your stash OR give as a gift! And that’s what I did. I created a set of cards that is going to go to my Mother-In-Law who LOVES to send cards. She is so much better about getting out cards than I am!

I also want to mention that the mailbox die I used is from My Favorite Things and I purchased it from the Not2Shabby Stamp Shop. If you want to shop at the Not2Shabby Shop, be sure to use the code below for 10% off your order!!
