What you'll do

Looking for festive indoor activities to do with your family or friends this holiday season? Learn to make your own beautiful Christmas greeting cards to be proud of in this online papercraft class!

Christmas cards help spread joy and cheer during the season of goodwill; they're perfect for sending well wishes to your loved ones, so why not make your own cards this season and send them to family and friends?

In the live online class, you'll create five different simple but effective designs for DIY Christmas cards. Your experienced teacher, Fran, will guide you via Zoom, but you are encouraged to let your creativity take the reins.

Fran is based in the Blue Mountains, Australia, and has been making greeting cards since she was very young. She continues that tradition and loves the creative process as well as being able to send something handmade to family and friends. Each year she sends over 100 Christmas cards to people she has connected with all over the world.

This unique online papercraft class is also a lovely way to connect with like-minded creatives with a glass of wine or tea in one hand and scissors in the other. You can even get the little ones involved and learn how to make handmade cards together — it's one of the best kids activites at home!

Fran is an artist; an educator, neither overshadows, they simply entwine and enrich one another. She lives in the Blue Mountains, Australia on the edge of a national park.

At a young age Fran discovered the value of creating art in her daily life. The act of art helped Fran express her identity. She began to see how creating art helped other aspects of my life and learning.

Fran is inspired by nature, patterns, form and texture. Each created piece portrays a slice of life, a perspective of the world in which we all live. Her mediums span painting and jewellery to collage and stitching. They all bring joy.

Fran is most comfortable in the studio classroom teaching art either face to face or online. It fills her soul to help others learn by exposing them to materials and techniques of Fran's trade and then develop their skills and confidence in the creative medium.

Through support, conversation and laughter, she sets a welcoming scene of free expression.

Ladybird Design Creative Studio is the culmination of creating a life around Fran's passions of art, jewellery and teaching. It frees Fran to take a piece of silver, blank canvas or paper, turn it into a beautiful thing and share it with the world every day. Fran believes now more than ever that pursuing one’s passions makes life more colourful and vibrant, gives us pleasure and purpose, but most of all it reminds us of who we are.

Fran would love to share the joy of creating and making with you.
