Welcome to the Third and Final day of the Card Making Made Easy Workshop
Hope you have been enjoying these training videos. But more important I hope you have started taking steps to incorporate what we have reviewed so far..
If you have not watch the videos from Day 1 and Day 2 please stop and go watch them now.. Each training video builds upon the previous, and it would make more sense when you see them in order.
Day 1 we talked about how to look for inspiration and on Day 2 we dive deeper on how you can use that inspiration for your cards, and I shared a lot of examples of how to use that inspiration, so make sure you watch those videos..

Video # 3
Day 3 is an exciting one (my favorite one if you ask me), because on this one I will share how you can make a whole card set using a few supplies.
On this video you will see how to:
- Look at the paper, and how to define how to use it, whether it is for backgrounds, or embellishments.
- Coordinate colors
- Start playing with the different elements on a sketch to make more cards
- Stay in your creative zone until you have all the cards you want
It is great training video and I don’t think I ever shared this much information in one single training.
I feel like this is the behind the scenes of how I prepare the cards before I do a FB live or before I film for a card class, this is the prep work I do every time before I craft a set of cards.. I am sure you will find this very valuable.
On this video I mentioned that I was going to link to the post where I made the final cards that I prep for in this video. Click here to watch the video tutorial where I actually made all the cards we prepped for.
You can see in this post all the finished cards, so you will have the full view, the before and after of how I come up with multiple cards using the inspiration of one single sketch!

A few tips!
Hopefully now you can see how you can incorporate the inspiration you find into your card making.. And a little secret here, I use multiple inspirations at a time..
For instance, I would select a few sketches, a technique and a color combination and then come up with as many cards as I want..
Remember that once you start seeing a trend of what is it that you like from the inspiration you find, you will realize what is your uniqueness.. or your style.. And once you know what is your style, it will be so much easier to come up with card ideas.. Because you will know where to start.. I hope you continue looking for inspiration and incorporating it into your cards..
You will see how your card making will be evolving to where you will no longer need to rely on others to make cards, no more casing..

Thanks Allie, I loved how you said to take the scraps and keep going to make more cards. And not stop to put them together. Great ideas. Thanks for sharing.
I find that if we dont stop to create card by card, then it is easier to come up with even card ideas as we gain momentum when we are in the creative zone.. and after you have designed as many cards, then you can stop to put together the cards, but at least at this point you already have plenty of card ideas to work on.. 🙂
I have taken your 101 class and this class helped me immensely. I have been following you for quite a while now and you have become an inspiration to me. Your stamping style has evolved and now I am beginning to understand your techniques so much more! Thank you for everything that you are doing to help us stampers become more confident in designing our own ideas. I admire you!

Hi Claudia! I love that you will start using these concepts! I am sure things will go faster! I was in the same boat, it would take me forever to come up with my cards, and once I started using this process things changed in a good way!

Allie, thank you so much for offering this class. All of your tips will really help me to use my paper to it’s full advantage. When I think of how much paper and TIME I have wasted over the years, I just cringe. Your videos have been interesting and easy to follow.
Now, I just want to create and play.
Thank you.
I am really happy to hear you have enjoyed this workshop.. I totally understand you on the paper!! I had boxes and boxes of paper that I was not using.. today I try to use a much as I can…. after all why getting the paper if we dont use it, right?
I cant wait to hear how your card making evolves.. keep crafting 🙂
Love your pretty sweater! I am really excited about this video #3. You are such an encourager. You have really helped me grow!
Oh Pat, you already do such pretty cards!! thanks a lot for you sweet words.. hugs Allie
Allie – you really nailed it again with this video! I loved the 101 Class — I’m so grateful to continue to grow my skills and confidence with card making using all your techniques and tips. As you know, I’ve made several hundred cards within this past year of pandemic — the most enjoyable ones were using your technique rather than just copying ones online and getting frustrated when I didn’t have “exact” supplies.
Your videos have been so helpful. I now know how to use my DSP and create lots of cards. I love how you showed us how to look at the paper and pull coordinating colors and embellishments. That will be very helpful for me to get started. I have so much paper in boxes that I didn’t know how to use. Now I do. Thank you!
I love every thing that you taught. I cannot wait to put to use what I learned.
