Here’s what past BellaCon attendees have to say…
Crafting has been a life-long passion of mine. BellaCon offers a variety of classes taught by a wonderful team of experts. I have attended all of the in-person and virtual BellaCon events and enjoyed creating “what I love,” while being able to try something new. I love the satisfaction of seeing what I have created. I have taken all types of classes at BellaCon, from Cardmaking, Zentangle, Jewelry, Weaving and more. It’s an opportunity to explore crafting like none other. Honestly, I can’t wait for BellaCon 2024! (Oh, did mention the Swag Bags are to die for?)
These were two days packed with projects by a lineup of amazing artists! They introduced products and techniques that are familiar and others that were new to me! Projects included paper, mixed media, coloring, painting, fabric and more. There was so much to learn, many tips, ideas and techniques to apply in my future projects. The beauty of the event it was recorded and we could go back and replay later. Loved all the fantastic giveaways and phenomenal swag. Kudos to Ann & Lisa for an amazing and inspiring time.
This will be my second BellaCon event and I am so jazzed! Last year we had some amazing sponsors who provided awesome gifts! From door prizes to huge bundles of the best products out there! Best of all everyone gets a chance to win! The instructors were all top notch!! I learned so many new things and had the best time. Sadly I was sick part of the time. But I didn’t miss anything as I was able to go back to watch when I was better! Sign up early! Why? Because if the swag bag is anything like last year it will blow your socks off! This is the best of the best and you don’t want to miss out! Who knows? You might even be a prize winner! Join me won’t you?
I had a blast at BellaCon last year! The instructors were amazing – so patient and such good instructions and workshops. I think Zentangle with Cindy Shepard was still my favorite! Loved the fun SWAG bag. So much stuff. We made cards using a “Spirelli” technique – (think of Spirograph). We learned how to wrap rope to make beautiful baskets, how to use pattern stamps to make cute projects for quick gifts and made a journal with Eileen Hull’s die cuts. We were able to buy kits from all of the instructors at a very reasonable prices. I just cannot express how much fun it was and how much I learned. All kinds of new tips and tricks. Too many things to mention! It was just wonderful!
My first experience with BellaCon was in 2023. I absolutely loved the designers and classes. I bought the swag and the products we got to try were an additional plus. I am so excited and can’t wait for BellaCon 2024.
BellaCon 2023 was a great event, I think what really made it special was the great mix of different types of crafts and having the instructors do the tutorials live. As a participant it was awesome to have someone live who could ask all the questions I was thiking of.
I had a great time networking with other crafters and mentors. We all had a blast even when it wasn’t in person. The whole event ran very smooth. I love how we can go back and look at the videos. I am looking forward to BellaCon 2024.
We can’t wait to craft, learn, and connect with you at BellaCon 2026!
