Handmade cards have always been a way for me to express things that are hard to say out loud; love, gratitude, playfulness, and care.
This recorded session is a gentle invitation to create meaningful handmade cards for Christmas, New Year, or any special moment. It’s less about following instructions, and more about enjoying the process of creating something personal.
What we’ll explore (in three parts)
1. Creating with intention
I begin by sharing how I think about card making. Choosing a theme, writing something meaningful, and deciding whether you want to express yourself realistically or playfully. This part is about understanding why you’re creating, not rushing into how.
2. A simple pop-up card technique
Next, I show one basic pop-up technique that you can use to create many different kinds of cards. I also share examples of handmade cards I’ve made over the years, including some from my childhood, to show how one simple idea can evolve in many ways.
3. Free and expressive creation
In the final part, there are no techniques to follow. I create a card freely, a heart-shaped card for my parents, and invite you to play, explore, and express what you feel in your own way.
What to expect
Instead of focusing on techniques or outcomes, this session is an invitation to reconnect with the joy of making cards, to play, explore, and create freely, even if you feel unsure about drawing or where to begin.
Why this class is different
  • It’s not a typical tutorial
  • You won’t be copying a design
  • You’ll learn a techniques, not templates
  • Every outcome will be different
Even though this is a recorded class, it’s designed to feel personal and open, giving you space to imagine, think, and create in your own way.
To utilise the session completly, pause and create as you learn and feel inspired.
Who this is for
  • Beginners and non-artists (teens and adults)
  • Anyone who loves handmade gifts
  • People who want to gift meaning, not just a card
  • Those who enjoy reflection, creativity, and self-expression
No prior art experience needed, just curiosity and a willingness to explore.
What you’ll receive
  • 1, 40 min pre-recorded session
  • Freedom to pause, revisit, and create at your own pace
  • Skills you can return to again for future cards, moments, and seasons
The tone of this session is light, playful, and relaxed. Mistakes and laughter are part of the process.
This festive season and as the new year begins, don’t just make a card.
Create something that carries your thought, your feeling, and your presence.
Hope you will enjoy card making as much as I do. Thank You! :)

Hi, I’m Riya — an artist, a curious soul, and someone who’s always exploring different corners of life — from agriculture and business to books, ideas, and emotions. But one thing that’s always stayed close to me is art. I’m self-taught — guided not by formal rules, but by instinct, feeling, and the need to express. Art came into my life quietly and never really left.
For me, art is more than a skill — it’s a way of being. It’s how I process, how I heal, and how I speak when words fall short. When I’m overwhelmed, confused, or even angry — I create. And in that space, things begin to make sense again. Art has taught me that you don’t always need language to connect — you just need honesty. I love how everyone sees something different in a piece, something personal. That quiet exchange is what moves me.
Alongside creating, I’ve also taught art — mostly online, with kids. It was fun, playful, and reminded me how natural creativity is when it’s not boxed in. Teaching made me want to explore more, and offer space where others could also discover how freeing and healing art can be.
I also had the opportunity to exhibit my work in a group show at AIFACS Gallery in Delhi, which gave me the encouragement to share my work more openly with others.
I truly believe anyone can make art. You don’t need fancy tools or years of training — just a willingness to explore. That’s what I hope to share with others: the freedom, the healing, and the fun that art can bring.
Let’s create something meaningful together.
