About the class

Get ready to craft a card as unique as your love! In this fun and hands-on workshop, you’ll create your very own Valentine pop-up card that will have hearts literally jumping off the page. Whether you’re an artistic pro or a complete beginner, this class will guide you step-by-step to make a beautifully designed, one-of-a-kind pop-up card with a personalized touch.

We’ll dive into basic watercolor techniques to create vibrant hearts, and then bring them to life with pop-up paper engineering. You’ll learn how to combine these two artistic skills to make your cards not just a gift, but a memorable experience!

What you’ll learn:

  • Simple watercolor techniques to create dreamy hearts
  • Basic papercutting skills using a craft blade (some hand strength needed)
  • The magic behind pop-up mechanics—how to make your hearts spring to life!

At the end of the workshop, you’ll walk away with a handmade Valentine’s Day card ready to surprise and delight someone special—or keep it for yourself.

No experience necessary—just bring your love for creativity and fun! Supplies are included, and you’ll have everything you need to unleash your inner artist. Whether you’re sending love to a partner, friend, or family member, your handmade card will leave a lasting impression.

Space is limited, so sign up now and join us for an afternoon of creativity, fun, and a whole lot of love!Let’s make some hearts pop! ❤️
