Join us for learning, making and fun that will help you be ready for lots of birthday celebrations. Packed with ideas, instruction and inspiration, this Card Making Weekend includes 6 x 2-hour classes, one with each talented store owner (Friday and Saturday). Together, you’ll make at least one completed project per session. Written instructions will be provided once the class is over.
PLUS! Sunday will feature demonstrations and bonus projects that you can make using your kit, items from your stash and additional items that will be available from each store.
When the weekend is over, you’ll be ready to celebrate with lots of finished cards for special people, plus ideas to make more or turn into cards for other occasions. It will keep you crafting right through the rest of the year.
Your 2026 Birthday Kickstart Kit will include:
- A 12x12 paper collection from Echo Park, complete with patterned paper and sticker sheet
- An exclusive die set, designed just for this event by the Kickstart team and Spellbinders
- A few other surprises, still in the works!
You will be asked to pull coloured cardstock, acetate and vellum, card bases, ink and other basics from your stash. Your Home Store team can help you with these items.
This event will be held in a Private Facebook Group, which allows you to participate and interact, as well as ask questions and follow along from the comfort of your home. When the videos are uploaded after the live session, you can return to watch over and over again, on demand. This also allows you to take the classes at a pace that is right for you, and at a time that is convenient to you, once the class is over. You must have a Facebook account to participate.
