OCC_giveaway

Hi readers! TGIF! Have you heard about this fun new class coming soon from the creative minds behind Online Card Classes? This new class is called Background Check.

Used code SIMONCHECK to get $3 off registration! Code expires July 17, 2015.

Join instructors Kristina Werner, Jennifer McGuire, and Laura Bassen—plus special guest artists—for professional instruction, inspiration, and fun! In class, you’ll gain the skills to achieve gorgeous card backgrounds from blended ink skies to stamped plaids… plus you’ll discover plenty of tips and tricks along the way. What’s more, they’ve built in plenty of “design breaks” to allow you to get comfortable with incorporating each of the background techniques shown in class into your own cards!

Class begins July 27, 2015, and registration is open now!

Online Card Classes’ Background Check includes:

  • 20+ videos and cards!
  • PDFs with step-by-step written instructions that you can print out and take anywhere.
  • A forum for discussion between students and teachers. Open for pre-class discussion on July 20, 2015 and then archived on August 7, 2015 for your reference.
  • Giveaways for class participation (winners chosen at random).
  • Shopping discounts to online stores during class–more details below.
  • A well-paced, interactive class environment, with extra practice time.
  • A student gallery to show your creations!

  1. Haven’t taken any classes yet. I wanted so bad to do the Watercolor class but was not home for a couple months & didn’t have time to play. I’m looking fwd to taking a class soon. Thanks for the chance to win this one!

  2. I really enjoyed the Stencil class. I refer back to it often. So nice to have the always access feature. A class I took from a different company only gave us a one year access time frame.

  3. Pick a favorite! No way! I’ve taken them all. I enjoyed Creative Chemistry; Insider was good, too. Oh, too many choices. :)

  4. I enjoy the 2014 Holiday Online class. After taking this class my cards turned out looking like you bought them in the store.

  5. His & Hers was really cool, although I can use help with all kinds of cards so all card classes are awesome for me! Thanks so much for the chance to win a spot!

  6. I have taken five online classes and have enjoyed the Clean and Simple ones. And I especially learned alot from TIm Holtz and wish he would do another one.
    Looking forward to the Background class.

  7. My favorite class was the Watercolor class – I loved them all though and can’t wait for the next one!! Thanks for the chance to win!

  8. I have never taken an online class, because I always feel I would not be able to keep up. But I do watch Jennifer and Kristina’s videos and learn so much from them. With a class like this and the PDF even if I got behind I could still learn! That would be great!

  9. I love all the classes and learn so much. My favorite class was how to use Copic Markers. I always shied away from coloring but this class gave me the boost of confidence I needed.

  10. I really enjoyed the Watercolor class, but then again, I’ve enjoyed all the classes that I’ve taken:)

  11. I’ve only been able to take two classes, the stenciled and the watercolor classes. I did love both of them, and look forward to taking additional classes.

  12. I have only taken one class so far, The Copic coloring for Card Makers. I registered on a whim one night and I am so happy that I discovered their classes. I intend to take more — it is a very convenient way to take a class — forever access and the ability to go back or forward in the lessons. All the instructors are talented and the samples are beautiful. I learned everything I know about Copics from that class. I hope I can win a spot in any other class.

  13. I’ve never taken any online classes before. So many of them have sounded very interesting, but haven’t had the extra money to play along.

  14. My company downsized, and I was one of them, so I’ve never had an Online Card Class, but if I were able, I’m SO looking to take both of the Stretching Your Stamps, and also the Stretch Your Dies. I’m familiar with these ladies’ work, and know that any of their classes will not disappoint. Thanks for the generous offer.

  15. I have only missed a couple of the On Line Card Classes. And
    I eventually plan to sign up for those.
    My favorite class was the Copic class. So packed full of great
    coloring lessons with fabulous instructors.

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  16. I love all their classes, but my favorite would have to be the Copic class because I learned so much with this one.

  17. I have not had the terrific privilege of taking one of your classes and sure would love to!!! Thanks for reminding me that SSS has more than fabulous inspirational posts and talented designers!! Love my daily emails to take me away to my crafting world fun!! Now off to see what classes I want!

  18. I’ve taken a few classes through online card classes. Love them. I always wish they were longer b/c I’m enjoying myself so much. Thanks for the chance!!!

  19. I love OCC & would love the opportunity to participate in the live class in real time instead of going ahead & doing it alone after it has been completed. .. there is such a great sense of community when playing along amongst other artists/crafters.

  20. I have taken several and I really enjoy the Copic Coloring Class! Can not wait for this class to start! I love Kristina, Jennifer, and Laura’s work!

  21. That’s an unfair question bc I’ve enjoyed so many! However, the one I’ve used the most is the Copic class.

    Thanks so much for the chance to win a spot!

  22. I have yet to take an online class but have dones some online release party things which have been fun. Thanks for the chance to win :)

  23. I’d love to play along for a chance to win!! The only class I’ve ever participated in was a free copic class online.

  24. I honestly never took a class. Money has been tight, and to spend it on a class is not a luxury I could afford.

  25. I just started following the blog not long ago, and did not realize classes were offered. I am very intrigued as to what they entail!

  26. My favorite class was the watercolor class. I learned some neat tricks and it inspired me so much that, unfortunately, I bought a whole bunch of stamps to practice the techniques with which meant an empty wallet ;)

  27. Clean & Simple classes have been my favorites. I also enjoyed the Watercolor class…so many great ideas!

  28. I have never attended an online card class but would absolutely love to check it off my bucket list!! Thanks for the chance to!
