FAST TRACK WORKSHOP
For Experienced Paper Crafters Who Like to Get a Head Start!
Thursday, October 29, 2026 | 7:00 PM
Arriving early at Sandy Cove? Join Tracie Clarke for a Fast Track Workshop designed especially for experienced paper crafters who are comfortable working independently and want to get their projects completed with minimal instruction.
This is your opportunity to get an early start, dive into the materials, and enjoy crafting at your own pace!
What to Expect:
- Early access to your project materials
- An instructional video to guide you through the project
- Tracie available to answer questions and offer assistance as needed
- More crafting time with less step-by-step instruction
Please Note: This is a self-guided workshop, not a full instructional class. Participants should be confident following visual instructions and figuring out project assembly independently. Tracie will provide full, step-by-step instruction during the regularly scheduled craft class times.
Love to craft independently and get things done? This Fast Track Workshop is for YOU!
Tracie’s Free Stuff
Visit:
StampWithTLC.com for free pdf files on my blog with measurements and material lists. I have simple cards to 3D pop up cards. There are well over a 100 instruction sheets that you can print.
Pinterest board for a pictorial table of contents of most of the cards on my blog. The Pinterest board is a little easier to navigate to find cards you would like to make.
YouTube for my video tutorials on basic stamping, assembling cling stamps, or putting together cards featured on my blog. Most of the videos don’t feature the cutting since measurements are given on my blog, but it shows how I assemble cards from the simple ones to the trickier pop up cards.
