Illustrator Academy is Open for Registration

March 22, 2020 by carina

quickly drew a design for a scrapbooking company? Or click-click-click design a birthday card for your daughter’s party? Or click-click-click drew artwork for a fabric design? And that was just the start…

Imagine how confident and proud you (and your family members) could be of your creative projects or moneymaking side hustle?

All it takes to become that confident designer is getting the education you need to make all those clicks become reality. That’s why I created Illustrator Academy.

Illustrator Academy is your gateway to THAT designer life. Drawing in Illustrator is the CORE skill you need to make your design dreams a reality.

I am finally opening up Illustrator Academy. Registration will end March 24. The best part? You have immediate access to the course once you register!

Learn more about this course here: https://www.carinagardnercourses.com/illustratoracademy

February & March Posy Garden Block of the Month

March 17, 2017 by carina 1 Comment

I think I managed to forget to do a post on Block of the Month for February so I’m doing double duty today!

I’m a bit late, but March block of the month is finally up! We had some technically difficulties over the last few days with the website so I’m so happy everything seems to be resolved with our hosting company.

March’s video is a bit long but hopefully helps all of you beginners put together this video. If you can’t tell, I had fun making it (wink, wink). The downloads are all available in the shop for free (as per usual). I use Posy Garden fabric (with minky on the back for Felicity), but you can make it in any fabric you want. Felicity and I also tested a portion of the inside of this quilt with Primrose Garden (I’ll make sure to post a pic soon on Facebook).

Hope you have fun making it!!!!

XOXO- Carina

Carina Gardner & Where Women Cook Magazine Article Spring 2017

March 13, 2017 by carina

Last July, I prepared several recipes and met up with photographer Justin Hackworth and editor-in-chief of Where Women Cook Magazine Jo Packham to take photos in my 1968 Jet Airway.

It’s now March. When I received the copy of the magazine I was completely surprised to see my family on the front cover! Well, surprised is an understatement. Delighted and giddy describes it better! My mom was in town helping me sew my most recent book (Sweetly Stitched Quilts available in Kindle and PDF format), and she saw how excited I was. Actually, she might have seen me jump right out of my chair in my office, lol.

There are so many wonderful recipes in this issue! I’m excited to try them out. There are also some gorgeous photos. Because so many photos I loved from the shoot didn’t make it into the issue I thought I would share a few here. Also be sure to check out the hastag #carinaglamps on instagram for more glamper goodness.

If you want to see more of my glamper renovation, check it out here.

Utah wedding and portrait photography — Strawberry Basil Pie…available in Where Women Cook Spring 2017 as well as my new book Sweetly Stitched Quilts.

This Peach Fizzy Drink didn’t make it into the magazine but is in my book.

Get your issue of this magazine here or at your local craft or grocery store.

XOXO-Carina
