Holiday Card Backgrounds Preclass
Welcome to Holiday Card Backgrounds class! I’m glad you’re here to get some ideas for your Christmas cards – reminder, these are all public videos on YouTube, but simply gathered here in groups that make sense; you may find products that are no longer in stock, and a range of video quality (since I’ve changed and grown over the years!), but hopefully you’ll still get lots of great ideas along the way.
Supplies for each video lesson are not included within these class lessons, to keep them from becoming cluttered; if you’d like to see the full supply list for the specific card, click on the text link ABOVE the video and see the supply list in the YouTube description. Blog posts are also linked in those descriptions if you need those.

Copic airbrush:
- Compressor try in-store and see if they sell it $20 cheaper without the kit. If you’re getting the Copic airbrush gun, you don’t need the kit – but you could use the kit for alcohol inks without the Copic airbrush too. It’s just a little harder to control.
- Cord, $8
- Copic airbrush gun, $35
