With my online courses you can learn how to craft a box with fitted lid, hinged lid, magnetic closure, folio or portfolio.
I'm working on a new course: how to craft a folder. Launching in the coming months!
The instruction book with pictures of all the steps and the instruction videos on YouTube,
will help you to learn how to craft the design in just a few steps.

instruction book & videos
The course consists of
- an instruction book with pictures and instructions of all the steps (English, pdf)
- instruction videos
- lifetime support & feedback via email
There's a list in the instruction book with the materials and tools you need per course,
but you can purchase them with your course.
Sabrine's courses are amazing! They are very easy to follow, along with the instruction videos and handouts. It might take some more time if you decide to create a hinged box in a different size than the course (like I did right from the start, as I wanted to challenge myself a bit having some experience in bookbinding), but she gives all information you need to know to create beautiful packaging. I truly love this craft and am inspired to keep creating more!

I loved every part of the course from The Cartonnerie! From when the supplies arrived, packed so beautifully and then to follow the instructions that were so easy to understand - and the end result is just gorgeous. I love my box and will definitely keep making them.
MALIN PALM VESTLUND, STUDIO BRANDIS
I ordered all courses from The Cartonnerie. The journey in learning these new skills has been absolutely wonderful and I highly recommend it. The video and picture pdf guide were a perfect bundle to guide a course taker through the entire project. They were clear, concise and easy to understand. The final products look beautiful! Being able to give a touch of elegance|luxury, and overall elevate my simple wedding stationery and pictures made a remarkable difference. I am looking forward to taking more courses with Sabrine and The Cartonnerie!
