Tim Holtz
As a crafter for the last 17 years, I enjoy the creative process of making things as well as play an integral part in the development and design of cutting edge products. I’ve been fortunate to have teamed up with various companies to create a signature line of products including Ranger (Distress & Alcohol Ink), Advantus (Idea-ology), Stampers Anonymous, Sizzix (Alterations), Tonic Studios, and Westminster Fibers/Coats (Eclectic Elements) to bring unique products to the market. I enjoy traveling worldwide to educate and share techniques, project ideas, and inspiration for the creative journey.

Jennifer McGuire
Jennifer is a stamping enthusiast and crafting instructor who has been sharing her love of crafting and handmade acts of kindness since 2002. In the past fifteen years, her blog, YouTube videos, publications, and classes have helped her reach thousands of paper crafters worldwide. She has been a contributing designer and worked with many companies.

With certifications in both Copic and Ranger materials and techniques, Jennifer’s expertise in card making, love of sharing, and high-energy teaching style has helped her gain a loyal following. As a natural extension of her popular blog and technique videos, Jennifer co-founded Online Card Classes with her dear friend Kristina Werner, where she has been working hard to inspire card makers for the past three years.

Kristina Werner
Since finding her love of all things paper crafting, Kristina has designed for Simon Says Stamp, Stampin’ Up!, BasicGrey, and her own digital kits. She began her popular blog, K Werner Design, in 2006 to share her cards and scrapbook pages online with friends and family. This led to joining various design teams. She has also had numerous cards and pages published in Paper Crafts, Cards, and Scrapbooking Trends magazines.

Kristina is well known for her popular cards videos where she walks viewers through the creation of a handmade card. Her popular YouTube videos have been watched over 43 million times, and her Youtube channel has over 321,000 subscribers who view her videos weekly.

Dawn Woleslagle
Dawn is a professional Graphic Artist and Usability Designer with over 18 years of experience. She is the owner of Wplus9 Design—a small craft company specializing in photopolymer stamps, dies and crafting supplies.

In addition to card making, Dawn is an avid painter. She has tried several mediums, but by far, enjoys the freedom and unpredictability of watercolor. Baking, cooking, crochet and reading are among the many other artistic hobbies she enjoys.

Yana Smakula
Hi! I’m Yana Smakula (pronounced Sma-coo-la)! I am originally from western Ukraine, but now live in sunny Phoenix, Arizona. I’ve been married for a few years and together with my hubby we enjoy traveling across the world, discovering new cultures and just exploring.

My passion is cardmaking – I love trying new products and techniques, experimenting and creating in different styles. I’m very much into stamping and die cutting; I also enjoy creating Clean & Simple, as well as heavily layered cards!

  2. Sold out in less than an hour and my friend could not get a ticket.’the hotel is sold out so no rooms there!

  3. If only but being international it’s not possible. Is there anyway of having on online version for those who can’t attend?

  4. Oh my what a wonderful event this will be! Would love to be there maybe if there is another one in the future! Have fun!
