This class will teach you how to design, print, and package high quality greeting cards from your own artwork to sell and/or give to family and friends.
Throughout the class, you will learn everything you need to know to produce greeting cards from home, including card planning and preparation, file setup, printer settings, envelopes and packaging, tips for setting up an online shop to sell your cards, and more. We’ll work through each lesson step by step so you can follow along at your own pace and feel confident every step of the way.
By the end of this class, you’ll be ready to set up shop and start selling retail-quality cards that showcase your unique artwork and designs. Your final class project will be a beautiful, customized greeting card made start to finish by you!
This class is suitable for creatives of all levels, so whether your goal is to launch a successful online shop or simply learn to make cards for your family and friends, you’re in the right class!
