Adult Fall Themed Card-Making Workshop | Sunday October 25th | 1-3:00
There's something magical about handmade cards, especially when they celebrate the changing seasons! As the weather begins to cool, you can warm hearts far and wide with special cards made for the Fall season and beyond.
Join us for an afternoon of Fall and Winter-themed cardmaking, where you'll learn artistic techniques while creating beautiful cards to share with the people you love. Together, you'll explore: The art of stamping — create crisp, beautiful images using stamps, ink pads, and stamping platforms, with fall foliage, pumpkins, and Halloween motifs.
Ink blending techniques — blend colors smoothly to create moody autumn skies or cool winter scenes depending on your project.
Texture and dimension — experiment with stencils and embossing folders that transform paper into layered, textured works of art.
Special finishing touches — add shine and embellishments to make each card uniquely your own.
Several finished cards — ready to gift, display, or hand out to trick-or-treaters and loved ones alike.
There's something special about giving a handmade card. It's more than paper and ink—it's time spent, creativity shared, and a reminder that someone matters. Our instructor, Hong Bloom, has been making and designing cards for over 15 years and loves sharing her knowledge in a relaxed, encouraging atmosphere. Whether this is your first card or your fiftieth, you'll leave inspired and proud of what you've created. What to bring: Just yourself and your creativity!
All materials are provided, including stamps, inks, cardstock, dies, adhesives, embossing tools, and embellishments. Create something beautiful and one-of-a-kind!

Adult Fall/Winter Card-Making Workshop! Sunday, October 25th 1-3:00
Hong Bloom discovered the art of cardmaking about 15 years ago as a personal hobby — and what began as a creative outlet quickly grew into a deep passion. Over the years, Hong has immersed herself in a wide range of cardmaking techniques, from stamping and ink blending to stenciling, embossing, and the sparkly satisfaction of glitter gel and shaker cards. What keeps Hong coming back to the craft table is the whole experience — the joy of experimenting with new techniques, the delight of placing a handmade card in someone's hands, and the warm, creative community that cardmaking naturally brings together. For Hong, every card is an opportunity to make someone feel seen, celebrated, and loved. After 15 years of honing her skills and building a deep library of techniques, Hong is thrilled to share her love of cardmaking with others. Her teaching style is encouraging, approachable, and full of enthusiasm — perfect for beginners and experienced crafters alike.
