Ithaca

I'm a cardmaker and youtuber who is all about using what I already have and having fun while doing it!!! Let's do this!

10/20/2026

Join our 30 days to becoming a better cardmaker course! It starts on November 1st.

If you’ve ever finished a card and thought it looks fine but not like hers, this one is for you. It’s almost never the supplies.

It’s a handful of small design choices nobody ever explained to us. Justine and I made 30 Days to Becoming a Better Cardmaker to teach them, 1 short video a day starting November 1, all with what you already own.

You get lifetime access, so falling behind doesn’t matter, and there’s a 7-day refund if it isn’t for you. It’s $19, and everyone who joins before the class starts gets all 6 bonuses!

Do you center your focal point or move it?

I bought 2 horses at 48 without a single riding lesson, and it’s still the smartest dumb thing I’ve ever done. For 40 years I waited to feel ready, and ready never showed up. So I bought them first and figured it out second. It’s the same way I built everything else.

My YouTube channel started rough and grew to 83,000 subscribers. I launched a summit with Justine, having never run one, and now we run 2 successful summits ever year. I've built every website, funnel, and all the automations and follow-ups behind them, I figured out the hard way, which is exactly why I started The Funnel Queens. Now women pay me to skip the part I suffered through.

Your horse might be the website you keep apologizing for, the offer that’s been sitting in a doc for a year, or the price you know is too low. Waiting isn’t going to make you more qualified. You get good after you start, never before. What's holding you back? BUY THE HORSE.

Tell me your horse in the comments.

Stress Free Cardmaking Summit 10/09/2026

During the summit, Justine and I taught a free masterclass called Why Do Everyone Else’s Cards Look Better Than Mine? Not to be overly dramatic, but it might be the most reassuring thing we’ve ever recorded. And it’s up on YouTube for anyone to watch, no ticket needed.

Missed it live? Want to watch it again with a cup of tea? Here you go: https://youtube.com/live/5CwCiWvD83s

You’ll walk away with 3 quick fixes you can use on your very next card. No new supplies and no shopping list. Just a few small design choices nobody ever taught us.

Here’s the thing. Those 3 fixes are just 3 of the 30 lessons in our new course, 30 Days to Becoming a Better Cardmaker. Every day you get 1 design principle, shown on finished cards, in about 5 minutes, using the supplies you already own. Fall behind? No problem, you have lifetime access and Day 1 waits for you.

It’s $19, which works out to about 63 cents a lesson. We start November 1, and if you join before then you get 6 bonus downloads, including our “Is My Card Done?” checklist and a Card Sketch Pack with 12 layouts. And if it’s not for you, email us by November 8 for a full refund. Grab your spot here: https://stressfreecardmaking.com/30days

So tell me, do you fall into the comparison trap with your cards? If you do, you are in very good company in here.

The $19 price, the 6 bonuses and the November 8 refund date all come from the masterclass deck. Check them against the sales page before you post.

Every time we teach live, the same thing happens. Someone pulls out the supplies she bought and never used, maybe a stamp set still in the package or paper she was saving for something special, and by the end of the class she is holding a finished card. Nobody has to buy a single thing. What we hear afterward, over and over, is how good it felt to finally make something with what was already sitting in her craft room.

That is the live weekend, October 2 to 4. 9 live classes, from Marta's balcony card and Wendy's triple panel pop-up to Einat's 1 fold, 10 cards and Mary's torn stencil technique, with the instructors, the two of us, and a room full of women making right alongside you. You can ask your question in the moment and see what everyone else made from their own stash.

The free ticket gets you every prerecorded class for 24 hours, and when it's gone, it's gone. The live classes are part of the Ultimate Cardmaking Bundle, along with keeping every class after the free window closes, and you can upgrade any time.

Grab your free ticket at stressfreecardmaking.com and come make something with what you already have.
