It's Christmas (Cards!) in July!

Sure, you can buy a box of holiday cards, but a handmade card sends a message that’s personal, thoughtful, and truly one-of-a-kind.

This hands-on session is your chance to plan and design holiday cards, then start crafting the ones you’ll send later this year.  Whether you're a seasoned card maker or just curious to try something new, it’s a fun way to beat the summer heat and get ahead on your holiday to-do list.

Get a head start on the season, and send more than just a greeting this year!

 

Craft supplies and and an assortment of handmade Christmas Cards.
