  $45

Bring nostalgic holiday charm to life with this hands-on magical Vintage Christmas Card workshop. Suitable for anyone aged 8+
Step into the Christmas spirit with 90 minutes of festive card making, beautiful papers, vintage imagery and plenty of creative fun.
Using a gorgeous collection of cardstock, vintage-style Christmas papers and images, lace, ribbons, buttons, trims, stamps and festive embellishments, you'll create your own collection of handmade Christmas cards and gift tags to take home.
Take inspiration from Christmases past — decorated trees, stockings by the fireplace, old-fashioned Santas, Christmas carols, winter scenes and nostalgic holiday imagery — or mix the old with the new and create something completely your own.
You'll also discover creative ways to give Christmas materials a second life, incorporating pieces of old cards, wrapping paper, ribbons, trims and other festive treasures into your designs.
There are no identical cards to copy and no creative experience needed. We'll show you ideas and techniques for layering papers, combining images, adding texture and embellishments, then you're free to play with the materials and create cards in your own style.
Christmas tunes will be playing, light refreshments will be on hand, and everything you need to create is provided.
Children aged 8+, tweens, teens and adults are all welcome. Come with family or friends, or simply come along for a relaxing dose of Christmas creativity.
