Annie's Crafts - Product Review

A few weeks ago, I was contacted by Elyse, the Video Classes Assistant, at Annie’s Crafts, asking if I would like to do a product review on one of their on-line classes. 

I’m here today to share my product review with you.

Annie’s Crafts has a very nice catalog of on-line classes, and it was hard to choose one to review. The class that I am reviewing today, is ‘Learn to Make Interactive Cards’.

You all know me pretty well, and when I saw that the description of the class offered cards that pop-up, spin, slide, shake, and swing, you know that I was all in!

In all, the videos total a shade under 4.5 hours. The instructor is Megan Hoeppner, who is a very talented, well-known leader in the paper-crafting industry. It is obvious that Megan loves the art of paper-crafting, and is delighted to share her tips and tricks with her viewers. Megan is also very easy to understand - she speaks very clearly, enunciating her words well. If English is not your first language, you will easily follow Megan’s instructions.

Annie’s on-line classes are available in either a downloadable or DVD version.  I chose to download my class.  I love that I can watch a few minutes of video, and that when I am interrupted, the video can be resumed from the point that I stopped it.  No need to scroll through to find your place!  The classes include printable PDF patterns, as well as the video.

This class features 10 interactive cards that spin, pop, move, shake, slide, (and more), for any occasion.  You will also get to see some popular paper-crafting mediums put to work – such as Washi Tape, Punches, Indigo Ink, Watercolor Pencils, die cuts, enamel dots, and others. You will be able to easily use supplies that you already have on hand.

One of my favorite lessons was the Birthday in a Bag. I had several of these bags on hand, and couldn’t wait to experiment!

I’ve been making cards for many years, therefore, the techniques in the video were not new to me. However, I either learned something new from each lesson, or remembered a technique or card-making idea that I had forgotten!  This class would be fun for paper-crafters of all levels, and I would very highly recommend it for those that are new to the hobby.

I am eager to try more of the on-line classes at Annie’s Crafts!
