Design your own festive artwork using vibrant alcohol inks, and have them transformed into 6 professionally printed, personalised Christmas cards If you’ve ever looked at Millie Moth’s colourful card range and thought “Ooh, I’d love to do that!” – now’s your chance! This festive workshop is all about getting creative with alcohol inks and designing your very own Christmas cards – the kind your friends and family will definitely want to keep. Guided every step of the way by Karen, aka Millie Moth, you’ll be using alcohol ink pens and splashes of alcohol on yupo paper to make vibrant, wintery artwork (think festive foliage, mistletoe, holly, berries and maybe a few swirls of gold…). Don’t worry if you’ve never used alcohol inks before – she’ll show you exactly what to do, and it’s all very forgiving and fun. You can make one special design or a few if you're feeling inspired!
Once you’ve made your inky masterpiece(s),Karen will whisk your artwork away to photograph and work a bit of Christmas magic – turning it into a beautifully designed card layout. It’ll then be professionally printed (just like her Millie Moth cards) onto lovely thick, slightly textured FSC certified card, with kraft envelopes to match. Please note, each design has to be ordered in a pack of 6 so any personalisations you make need to be suitable to send to 6 different people!
You can choose to create a single design or explore a few variations during the session. Once finished, Karen will take away your original artwork, photograph it, and transform it into a beautifully designed Christmas card layout which will then be professionally printed. You’ll have the option to include your own text or imagery on the front and back if you wish — making each card a true reflection of your style. Just like her Millie Moth cards, they will be printed onto lovely thick, slightly textured FSC certified card, with kraft envelopes to match.
🎨 What’s included in the workshop:
Create one or more festive designs using alcohol ink pens and techniques on yupo paper
Help and guidance throughout to bring your ideas to life

Karen will then take your artwork home to create your Christmas card design and send it off to be professionally printed
