For creative women ready to turn their eye for design into something real.

You've Always Had the Eye. Now Let's Build the Skill.
Learn to create beautiful, professional templates using Canva and Adobe tools - at your own pace, with a self-taught designer who's done it herself.

Your guided journey to beautiful art creation is here...

You don't need a design degree. You don't need to already know Photoshop. You just need someone to show you the path — clearly, patiently, and without the overwhelm.

The Beautiful Template Design course gives you the exact skills, tools, and creative confidence to design templates you're proud of and earn from what you love.

Start Creating!
Taught by a top 1.2% Etsy Seller with 12,500+ sales and 1,300+ five-star reviews

This is for you if:

You've always been the creative one. The one who makes things look beautiful without really knowing how. The one people ask to design the flyer, the invitation, the church program — and you do it gladly, even though nobody ever taught you how.

But somewhere inside you there's a quiet thought that won't go away:

What if I actually learned to do this properly?

This course is for you if:

  • You're starting completely from scratch and don't know where to begin
  • You've opened Canva or Photoshop and immediately felt lost and closed it again
  • You've been creative your whole life but never had anyone show you a clear, patient path
  • You make beautiful things for others but have never been paid for your gifts
  • You want to learn at your own pace, without pressure or overwhelm
  • You don't need experience. You don't need confidence yet. You just need a place to start.

 

This is that place.

 

This is not for you if :

You're looking for a get-rich-quick formula, or you want someone to do the work for you. This is a real skill — and it takes real practice.

The Treasure TROVE Journey Map

What is The Treasure TROVE Journey Map?

Keep reading to find out more...  but first, a quick intro.

K. Drea Smith here... 

I’m a retired principal analyst who hit a point where stress and frustration from my day job weren’t worth it anymore. I wanted real freedom and work that felt aligned with who God created me to be, so I went back to what had always brought me joy: creativity.

As a young girl, I loved making art that made people feel seen and celebrated. As an adult, I turned that into designing affordable event templates for nonprofits and families who needed beautiful, meaningful designs without the high price tag.

I didn’t have a perfect plan. I took a leap of faith, trusted my gifts and trusted God, and committed to building a business that could create both financial and time freedom through creativity.

In 2022, I launched my first template design shop on Etsy. That shop has now generated multiple six figures in revenue, with over 12,000 sales and more than 1,200 five-star reviews.

What started as a search for freedom became a thriving template business and proof that creativity, paired with faith and focused strategy, can change your life. And I remember exactly what it felt like before this existed: fear, uncertainty, overwhelm, and a lot of self-doubt. That’s the gap this program is designed to bridge for you.

 

The Skills I'm Teaching You Are Real

Here is what's possible when you learn to design with intention and purpose.

I'm sharing them because I want you to know that what I'm teaching you comes from a real, working design business. Not theory. Not guesswork. Over 12,500 sales, 1,300+ five-star reviews, and a top 1.2% ranking on Etsy — built from scratch, self-taught, one template at a time.

If I can do it starting from nothing, I can absolutely show you how to start.

This is what learning the right skills, with the right guidance, can build.

I'm now helping other AMAZING women create their own beautiful artwork and templates for business too!

JOURNEY MAP

Set up your creative workspace with the right tools from day one. You'll get clarity on your design direction, choose a focused niche, and learn how Canva Pro, Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator work together - without overwhelm. Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator is completely optional.

A quick note about Adobe tools
This is not a full Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop mastery course. The program uses Adobe tools in a simple, focused way. I teach you only the essential tools and workflows you need to create clean, high-quality graphics and backgrounds that you can add to your template designs, without drowning you in every feature the software offers.

If you’ve ever opened Illustrator or Photoshop and felt completely overwhelmed, this program is designed to give you a clear, minimal path so you can actually create graphics of all kinds very simply and easily for an unlimited path to creation. The simple steps will ensure you do not get stuck in the software.
