Kick Start
We’ve all experienced moments when we want to create something, but just can’t seem to find the inspiration and motivation to get started. In Kick Start from Online Card Classes, Jennifer McGuire, Kristina Werner, and other well-known papercrafting artists show you how to Kick Start your creativity.
NOTE: This class was offered some time ago. Many of the products used on card samples might not currently be available. While the techniques are still relevant, we understand the frustration of not being able to acquire the exact same supplies. Because of this, we have permanently reduced the class price.
