Core concepts you need to know as a stationer (especially if you don’t have a degree in graphic design)

How to source artwork for your designs (even if you can barely draw a stick figure)

Exactly what you need to know to use Adobe to create stationery (without feeling overwhelmed by everything else Adobe can do)

"This course was life-changing for me."

Dream to Design has built my confidence to become a successful stationer. Elisabeth goes into such incredible detail, I truly couldn’t believe how much she was sharing with us and how open she is about everything. It’s clear she wants us to be just as successful as she is. After taking the leap of faith and enrolling in her course, I couldn’t imagine learning from anyone else.

"This course is PACKED full of info"

This course is very comprehensive and PACKED full of info. With a support group that is amazing and responsive. Elisabeth always comes through to answer questions, along with other members who may be further ahead in their journey. It is a great value, and is going to be a wonderful addition to my business. I wouldn’t hesitate to take this course again!

Becky

artist & calligrapher

"At times I was shocked by how willing she was to share the secrets to her success!"

Dream to Design was exactly the boost I needed to get started on my stationery business. It is welcoming to stationers at all levels, thoughtfully made, and infused with so many tips and lessons that would take years to accumulate on your own through trial and error. Elisabeth’s passion for stationery and for helping others succeed is so encouraging and I really appreciated how honest and open she was with every area of her business. At times I was shocked by how willing she was to share the secrets to her success!

I'm Elisabeth

And I educate calligraphers, artists, and aspiring stationers (just like you!) how to build a profitable, thriving stationery business.
