*Bring us your tired punches, your poor neglected cut‑outs, your huddled scraps yearning to be art.*
No, we're not talking about the Statue of liberty....
Our “Cards, cards, cards!” exchange is getting a joyful reboot! This time we’re not just swapping cards… we’re *making* them. This session kicks off a monthly series running through the end of the year, each with its own theme and inspirations. Some will have a fee associated with it, but this one is FREE!
This Month: Hole Punch Magic
We’ll explore the surprisingly delightful world of crafting hole punches — from simple circles to fancy shapes — and how they can transform even the most “meh” papers into charming card elements.
What to Bring
* Crafting hole punches (all shapes welcome)
* Cricut cut‑outs you haven’t used
* “Almost-good” gelli prints (I know you save them!)
* Boring cardstock that needs a glow‑up
* Stray envelopes you don’t know what to do with
* Any small embellishments you’re willing to share
What We'll Do
* Try out each other’s hole punches
* Make patterns, borders, textures, and layered shapes
* Turn “almost-good” papers into delightful card components
* Share ideas, inspiration, and plenty of laughter
Upcoming Monthly Themes
*(Subject to Change, so be sure to check back! Currently planned to be held after the Monthly Meeting, possibly alongside another class)*
* September: *TBD*
* October: *Spooky & Sweet* — Halloween cards with playful, eerie, or whimsical flair
* November: *Featuring Stephanie Hanson!* — our long‑standing cardmaking talent will lead a Thanksgiving‑themed session
* December: *Winter Wonders* — holiday cards, seasonal sparkle, and cozy creative cheer
This Saturday’s session is relaxed, hands‑on, and resource‑sharing — fun, playful, and wonderfully unusual. Whether you’re a seasoned card maker or just curious, you’ll leave with new tricks, new textures, and at least one card that makes you grin.
Let’s punch some holes,…
