Probably my Craftsy.com workshop that came out in January! It's called Cards With Dimension: Lovely Layers, Textures and Embellishments. (Today I'd love to offer you 50% off my class! Just click on the class title link above to get 1/2 off.) I teach tips on working with patterned papers, layering with vellum, choosing and placing embellishments, other ways to add texture and dimension, stitching - hand and machine, and more. You'll see over 70 cards throughout the class. If you'd like to read more about it, you can see my original blog post here. Here are some samples from the class.
And one last thing...I'd like to give away a spot in my Cards With Dimension class!
If you are interested, please leave a note and tell me what you would most like to learn or improve on in your card making or scrapbooking. I'll choose a random winner by May 4th. Have a happy and creative day!

gorgeous cards!
Sounds like a great class! I struggle a bit with layering. I could certainly use some tips!
Beautiful cards!! I'm still relatively new to card making, so I'd soak up everything I can to improve it :)
Fun learning some little facts about you. I want a minc too! I often make really cool backgrounds and then get stuck on what to do with them, so help with that would be great.
I'd most like to learn how to make the best use of leftover bits and bobs on my card. I always feel good about the first layer of papers, and then get in trouble when it is time to build up on that. Would love to see how you do it!
Oh my goodness... Your cards are so gorgeous and so beautifully stunning!!
I would love to learn how to add more layers and textures to my cards. I look and see so many beautiful cards online and just drool!! With the flowers, lace,ribbon,leaves, etc. Oh my.. I could go on forever!!!!
Love your beautiful cards! What a fun thing it would be to win a spot in a class of yours! I would be so thrilled!
I'll like to make better cards! Not really good on my color combos.....thanks...Gina F
Your cards are always so beautiful. Your class would be awesome. I feel my cards are always awkward looking and don't flow right. Basically I need to help with style!
When I read the class description for Cards With Dimension I was excited to learn that you cover placement and choosing embellishments. Sometimes I have too many options and don't know when to be done. Also, ideas for adding texture and layers without bulk would be helpful, as I mail many of my cards and gift sets of cards to friends as well. Thanks for doing a giveaway for this class, and sharing your talents!
I'd most like to improve my planning skills when trying to put together a card.
Happy NSD Danielle! For my cardmaking I'm not sure what I'd most like to learn. Maybe how to make cards that mix media a little! Thanks for the discount code too!!
WOw..Who wouldn't want to win a spot in your class !gr8 opportunity to learn how to improve card making and add dimensions without making the card bulky !:) Thanks for the Giveaway !
I love all of your work...it's always beautiful and inspiring! :) And thanks for the chance to win a spot in your class...that would be so awesome! I would love to learn how to use vellum better. I have a lot of it but never really sure how to use it creatively. Happy NSD!
I'm not even sure where to say hi on here but this will have to do 😘
I think I'm lost , so many creative sites!
I would like to improve my paper combinations. I like the mix of different pattern papers on a card, but would like guidelines on choosing patterns that make an appealing mix.
Would LOVE to be able to take your class, Danielle! I've been "channeling" you lately through all of your samples on the Elle's Studio website, trying to get better at the layering thing, and I think I'm making some headway lol :)
Beautiful cards! Would love to watch you on YouTube!!
Beautiful cards! Would love to watch you on YouTube!!
Your cards are lovely and very pretty. Happy NSD to you too.
Lovely, lovely cards! I've tried layering my cards without much success. Your class is something I need.
I would to get a spot in your class. I have a hard time using patterned papers on my cards, but I want to use them. also putting the right combination of colors together. I am glad I have found your site through this blog hop.
I listen to books on my IPOD anything with a mystery. Love to drink coffee and water. Love playing with our 5 rescue Westies. I always enjoy making cards and participating in card drives for a good cause and OWH.
Beautiful cards!!
mmmm... Dr. Pepper. :) Lovely cards! I definitely pop things up on my cards but I'm not good at mixing papers- I usually stick to cardstock with images I've colored so that's definitely something I'd like to work on.
I'm terrible about mixing patterned papers. I stew and fret about it and then just go with plain. Boring!
Oh how nice it would be if i win. I could learn how to use more pattern paper ( I have so many paper pads) and still be able incorporate lots of stamping techniques.
Fabulous cards - that spot in your class would be exactly what I need!!!
Beautiful cards, and wonderful detail!
I would like to learn how to use embellishments and other details to really up the look of my pages and cards. Love the depth and layer on your cards.
I'd like to make more colourful layout! Happy NSD!
Your cards are very pretty. I love the way you incorporate a scrapbooking style on your cards! I would like to get more ideas for good (and more interesting) design for cards. Thanks for sharing your ideas!
I am continually trying to learn new techniques and to incorporate more stamping on to my layouts as I have so many stamps just waiting to be used.
I have always been so inspired by your cards! So beautiful! I struggle with cards, would love to take your class!
I love layering but have a hard time mixing & matching patterned paper. I'm currently on a CAS kick but layers is what I really love.
At one time I had a blog friend that sold card kits. Her kits included computer generated words that she would die cut shapes from. Something like that would be helpful. I have been a longtime blog reader of yours, but somehow I missed your Jan announcement. So glad you reposted about your classes. Thanks!
It's always fun to know more about you! I just signed up Wilna's class today and I'm so looking forward to see the entire thing! Love your Craftsy class and may go back to re-watch the lessons! For my card-making, I want to learn how to use colors and apply techniques effectively! Happy NSD to you, Danielle!
I'm a scrapbooker and only make cards once in awhile. I would love to be better at adapting by sb style to cards

I'd love to win a spot in your class! I've been following you for a long time, and love your work. My cards are much, much simpler so I'd love to figure out how to add some layers to them.
My cards are too flat. I would love to learn how to add layers that work and look great.
Your cards and class look awesome. I'd like to get over my hurdle of blah days when I go to create and I nothing seems to work or go together on my project. I'm sure I can learn a lot!
Such pretty cards .... I am a diet pepsi lover but my hubby is a huge diet dr pepper fan.

Love the way you layered the different elements and patterns. I would love to learn how to add interest to cards through use of patterned paper and design.
Your cards are gorgeous. I can make 100's of pages but I am intimidated by a card... I think this class is what I need. (and another DDP to go with it).
I am such a beginner at cardmaking compared to my scrapbooking. I would love some help with the sentiments!!!!
I need help with layering. Thanks for the chance to win a spot. I'm really enjoying this blog hop, getting a lot of inspiration from everyone!

I am not a card maker period, but would love to be motivated to use my layout scraps to creat beautiful and use cards. Thanks for your inspiration and the chance!
Your cards are beautiful! I struggle with making my cards feel like "me".
I want to know how to better use vellum, especially tips to adhere it without the adhesive being seen. Since you are a MASTER vellum user, you would be the best to learn from. Thanks for the offer. Blessings!
I'd love to learn more creative layering...especially using vellum and other mediums...you have such a gift in that area!
I have made cards before but I am not very good at it. So any technique would help.

Making the layering look cohesive
Would love to do your class, and even better to win it! Thanks for the chance!!!
If anyone knows about lovely layers, it's you! I just can't make them look like something other than a hot mess!
I need to learn more about layers. I pop up flowers and tie on ribbon, but I know there is so much more!
I would love to learn more about layering for cards and layouts. Thank you for the chance to win!
Your class will help me to improve my cardmaking for sure! I would love to win :)
I am struggling with using layering and pattern paper. I'd love to learn more. Thank You!
Very lovely cards. I am relatively new to making cards so design is something I'd like to know more about. Thanks for the chance to win!
Loved reading about you, Danielle. You mentioned spending time with your husband before he starts his new job. You aren't moving again, are you? Your creations are always beautiful works of art the way you layer, design and use various textures...and of course, gorgeous color combos. Wish I could get my brain to mix and match better and stop hoarding. I do need your class but have been too busy yet to sign up. Into tidying up our house for new flooring. : )
Your cards are so lovely. I appreciate the chance to win a spot in your class. My cards are all pretty flat and I would love to know how to place embellishments in creative ways!!!

I love watching cardmaking videos. But I'm not a card maker really. Im a scrapbooker. Making cards intimidates me for some reason. Which I know should acutally be the other way around. I just don't know where to start!
I would love to win a spot in your class!!
I do struggle with layering! Love to know more! :)
I'd love to learn how to layer better. Thanks for the chance!
(And we love Jimmy Fallon at our house, too!)
Always love your inspirations.
Fabulous post, Danielle! So fun to read about your favourites...
