Class Description for 18 Valentine Cards in 1 Hour

As with my first class, 15 Holiday Cards in 1 Hour, I am going to make the video tutorial portion free on YouTube and make the workbook a paid extra. I believe you will be able to make the cards without the workbook, but you might find it a helpful supplement.

In this class, we will make 18 A2 Valentine cards. You will use 3 pieces of 12×12 paper and have no patterned paper scraps leftover. The template and sketches are exclusive to the class and not available other ways. The sketches will also work for many themes. For other themes, simply choose other paper and embellishments.

I was able to complete all 18 cards in under 1 hour and you will likely be able to complete them in that amount of time as well, although results of one hour are not guaranteed.

The template and the coordinating sketches will also work for A6 cards. For A6 cards you will not need to change any measurements, but the paper will still be cut with US customary measurements no metric measurements are provided.

The workbook will contain full instructions for completing the projects including tutorial pictures, a patterned paper cutting template, a card stock cutting template, and sketches in both A2 and A6 sizes. There will also be sample photos of each card for reference. You should be able to complete the projects with only the video or only the workbook, but they are designed to compliment each other.
