Explore Your Creativity: Create a Playful, Personal Greeting Card

Expand your creativity and create a fun, one-of-a-kind gift for a loved on!

As The Cartorialist on Instagram, Carly Kuhn’s irrepressible humor and signature line drawings prove that you don’t need expensive paints or professional training to be a “real” artist. Join Carly and unleash your inner artist by transforming an everyday object into a meaningful, beautiful greeting card for a loved one. From first idea to final piece, each step in this 35-minute class provides a low-stakes but high-impact exercise to flex creative muscles (even if some of your experiments don’t make the final piece). 

Together with Carly you’ll explore:

• Drawing inspiration from the world around you
• Playing with illustration style and hand-lettering
• Adding flourishes with color and texture
• Styling and shooting your creation for Instagram 

Plus, Carly opens up about her creative challenges and breakthroughs, often fueled by figuring out how to make art using unconventional materials (like a water bottle, old receipt, or takeout menu).

Whether you're looking to break out of a rut, surprise a friend, or find an excuse to clean out your junk drawer, this playful, accessible class is the kickstart you need. By the end, you’ll have a new understanding of your own creativity, plus a personal memento that’s ready to share with your friends, family, and followers. So grab a pen and get started!
