Join 25+ expert presenters over 4 days and walk away with fresh techniques, real inspiration, and a clear plan to create your most beautiful holiday cards yet.
You love making cards — that's why you're here. But when the holidays roll around, that creative joy can quickly turn into overwhelm. If you've ever felt like this, you are not alone…
You want to make heartfelt, handmade holiday cards this year — but October arrives and you haven't started, again.
You scroll through beautiful cards online and think “I could never make something that nice” — even though you have all the supplies.
You start a card, hate it halfway through, and give up — wasting supplies and losing precious creative time.
The holidays feel rushed and you end up buying store cards — again — telling yourself “next year will be different.”
Here's the truth: It's not about talent, time, or supplies. You just need the right techniques, inspiration, and a clear plan — and that's exactly what this summit delivers. For free.
Four days of free, expert-led sessions designed specifically to help you create stunning holiday cards — with the confidence and clarity to actually finish them.
Each session is taught by a carefully chosen card-making expert sharing their best holiday techniques, tips, and creative approaches — all completely free for registered attendees.
You've got the supplies and the desire — you just need guidance on where to start with holiday cards.
You want fresh inspiration and new techniques to level up your holiday card game this year.
You need fast, beautiful techniques that fit into a real life — not a full-time crafter's schedule.
You love the idea of giving someone a card made with your own hands — and you want to actually do it this year.
Every session is taught by a hand-picked card making expert sharing their best holiday techniques — free for all registered attendees.

I've been in your shoes. Every fall, I'd look at my calendar and think "I have plenty of time" — and then somehow it was December 15th and I was scrambling. Sound familiar?
After years of teaching card making online, hosting the Card Maker Success Summit, and building one of the most supportive crafting communities at Card Maker Success Membership, I've learned exactly what card makers need to feel confident and prepared for the holiday season.
That's why I created this summit — to bring together the best teachers, the most useful techniques, and a community of people who truly get it. You deserve to enjoy the holiday card-making process, not dread it.
This is my 5th Summit. And I got the All Access Pass.... so worth the money! Today, I made a start of watching the classes. I couldn't wait to try out Ardyth Percy-Robb's class... Two cards inspired by her!
— Dawn Turley
I haven't missed one yet lol. So excited. I have a VIP pass and love them. I always learn a new technique. I get motivation. And they are fun.
— Kelley Whorf-Wile
I decided to try Janna Ketchum's spring card and love how it turned out! I had no idea there are so many different techniques at the CMSS — I want to try them all. I didn't even know about the summit until Wednesday and decided to attend last minute. Best decision ever — I recommend the VIP premium ticket!
— Kristyne Golec Traver
