Have you ever felt that tapping into your creative side is hard to do? Even if you love art making or crafting and/or do it for a living, getting in your creative zone can sometimes be a struggle. Mix in being a bit of a perfectionist, overthinking, time constraints, feeling unmotivated, and judging your work and/or comparing yourself to others, and artmaking can be such a trying thing! If you feel like I’m preaching to the choir, I have just the thing – Creative JumpStart.
Creative JumpStart was created for hobbyists and artists alike to learn from the best of the best and take action to build a creative habit.
By joining CJS, you’ll get to learn techniques from yours truly, as well as 37 other uber talented mixed media artists.
The workshop can be completed in about five weeks (if you are doing the lessons daily, as recommended) via 38 pre-recorded lessons. There’s technique and project based lessons, tons of tips and tricks from our artist teachers, and all the lessons are around 10 minutes in length and designed to help you make creating a doable, daily habit.
Bring some focus back to your art making with an online workshop! Life is a juggling act and it’s easy to let some of the most joyful activities fall out of focus now and again. It’s time to change that and Focus your Creativity.
We’ve got two sales going on right now to help you with that. Our Creative JumpStart Last Chance SaleAND our Labor Day Workshop Sale. Now thru Monday Sept 5th* you can save on both CJS22 and all my online workshops. It’s a nice opportunity to redirect some energy back into your creative practice with technique and project lessons to stoke your creativity. Just enter the coupon code laborday20 when you check out to save.
Creative JumpStart 2022, for those of you who aren’t familiar with CJS, includes 38 different lessons, each taught by 38 different leading Mixed Media artists. The lessons include a broad variety of techniques, projects, and styles and are designed to fit in a busy schedule – whenever you could use a Creative JumpStart ;)
Whether you’re just getting started in the mixed media world or are a mixed media veteran, CJS is a magical and interactive experience created just for you. You can expect to:
Be challenged on your journey
Take action on your goals
Discover how your art making creates connections with people, places, and things
Understand how you connect with certain materials
Gain access to a plethora of artistic techniques to learn and master
All my Online Workshops are on sale right now in fact, and there are lots of opportunities for learning, fun, and a renewed focus on your creative side.
Go on an Artful Adventure with me and let the artwork of master artists inspire and guide you…
Or get the Best of CJS from years past if you missed those workshops or are looking for more bite-sized lessons…
Join Birgit Koopsen, Marsha Valk, and myself as we explore mixed media surfaces in Beyond the Paper or inspiration through style eras in time in Time Traveler.
Whichever Online Workshop experience catches your eye (check out the shop here to see all the workshops I currently have available), the goal is to refocus you on your art making and creative side. Carve out some time each day or week to express yourself, hone your skills, let loose with your supplies, and feel the joy of creating.

It’s your last chance to get in on the fun: Nat’s Birthday Sale!!!
I’m celebrating with 20% off foam stamps, rubber stamps, stencils, artwork, books and MORE here in the online shop.
Shop by 11:59pm EDT (NYC time) tonight, July 6 and use the coupon code bdayfun20 to save 20% off physical products. Find the supplies you need to inspire you, help you create, and have FUN this summer :)
It’s Giveaway Time! Get one of my Mixed Media Chips for FREE. These cute chipboard stencils are being discontinued so while supplies last, you can score one for free. How? Just spend $15 or more before shipping (and after any coupons are applied) in the online shop on physical products and we’ll pop one into your order. It’ll be randomly selected and a surprise for you :)
These are kind of a cross between a stencil and a collage element and I had fun using them in my art journal for backgrounds…
And for creating texture…
And finally as a bit of collage to emphasize certain motifs in a spread.
I also loved using them for cards in all three ways, creating some city-inspired ones that play with lots of tonal layering.
So until we run out, just spend $15 or more on an order here in the shop (physical products only, cart total before shipping and after coupons) and we will include one free Mixed Media Chip in your shipment.
And now is a great time to buy as we are currently having Nat’s Birthday Sale – 20% off all physical products using the coupon bdayfun20 when you check out. Hurry though, stamps and stencils are going fast and the sale ends 11:59pm EDT (NYC time) on July 6, 2022.
It’s that time of year again so I thought… let’s have a little birthday fun ;) To celebrate, I’m having a Birthday Sale here in the shop and you’re invited!
An early July birthday is pretty sweet anyway – warm sunny days, lots of grilling and stoop gatherings outside, the neighborhood is lush and green – and now that I’m here in the US they are celebrating their birthday too this time of year so I can expect parades and fireworks and other festivities!
So here at nStudio we’re letting loose with a sale on all our physical products in the shop: rubber stamps, stencils, foam stamps, my book, my fav supplies like Moonlight Duo ink pads and cardboard mini models, and even my artwork! Just use the coupon code bdayfun20 when you check out to save 20% on qualifying items. Sale runs through July 6, 2022 at 11:59pm EDT (NYC time).
Are you a Stencil lover? They’re part of the sale too and whether you love patterns or more abstract motifs, we’ve got you covered with stencils like Van Vorst and Tokyo and others.
Foam Stamps are my go to for bold designs and I love using them in all sorts of ways and on a lot of different substrates – especially fabric. Recently we did a fun project with my Mini Fan Set and Koinobori fish wind socks and another time we created some gorgeous printed napkins with my Batik stamps. I love how foam stamps print on fabric :)
Do you love hanging artwork on your walls to inspire you and bring you joy? I certainly do – there is something about looking at artwork that gets my brain going. Well my friends, Artwork is a part of this sale too and there is something in there at every price range and in a lot of different media, including an original framed collage called Hope and a mixed media painting of NYC’s famed Highline.
All physical products include some of my favorite supplies like Moonlight Duo ink pads (those cool ones that have a color AND an opaque white so you can mix tints) and the mini cardboard models that are so fun to personalize.
Have fun shopping Nat’s Birthday Sale here in the online shop – just remember to use the coupon code bdayfun20 when you check out. It’ll run through 11:59pm EDT (NYC time) on Wednesday, July 6, 2022.
