Learn techniques to create homemade cards, scrapbook pages, and framed art pieces! In this two-night class, Katie will bring a number of her Stampin Up tools and share how to use these tools using different techniques to help you create your own unique cards. Techniques that you will learn in this class include: embossing, die cutting, watercoloring, layering, and creating custom backgrounds with the use of stamps. Please bring glue and a pair of scissors with you.

Class 1: Embossing and die cutting are great ways to add texture and dimension to your cards. In this class, you will learn how to use an embossing and die-cutting machine to create a stunning card. In this one-night class, Katie is going to show you two fun and messy techniques that you can use to create a unique color pattern like marble or gradient.

Class 2: Now that you have learned about using some key tools and unique techniques for creating beautiful cards, it’s time to put it all together. In this final class, you will get to utilize what you’ve learned to create layers and custom backgrounds for your cards.

Meet Jennifer!
Jennifer Hanson is the owner of Dance the Line in Dover, New Hampshire. Her love for line dancing began at a young age when her mother took her to local community country line dance classes. As an adult, Jennifer rekindled this passion when she attended a line dance class with a friend, and she quickly fell in love with it all over again.

Driven by her enthusiasm, Jennifer sought various classes, training sessions, and workshops to deepen her knowledge and skills. Her goal was to share the joy of dance with others. For Jennifer, the dance floor is a sanctuary where she can escape the pressures of the world and immerse herself in music.

With over 15 years of experience in dancing and teaching country line and partner dances, Jennifer now runs Dance the Line, offering classes for all ability levels multiple days a week. Dance the Line provides a range of services, including country line dance lessons, country partner lessons, workshops, private events, and DJ services.
