Christmas Card Club Returns!

Yes, Christmas Card Club is back with a beautiful, softly-colored snowscape* that’s glimmering and shimmering with subtly sparkling glitter; not to mention a gorgeous Buffalo plaid background (with awesome embossed edge!) and the perfect seasonal sentiment. Join Elisabeth on Friday, April 15th from 5-9pm and make five cards of this lovely design. The cost is $25 and dinner is included. There are just six places available, so email elisabeth@paperanthology.com ASAP to reserve your spot!

This is a great way to get a jump on December’s biggest papercrafting chore, while hanging out with your fellow cardmakers. Please note that while the meeting starts at 5pm, you don’t have to arrive that early; you should be able to complete all five cards, even if you arrive later. Please bring your basic kit and a little bit of holiday spirit!

*For the record, the only place we want to see snow again this spring is ON CARDS! :)

The last CCC of 2021 will meet on Friday, December 10th, from 5-9pm.

In Mid-December, you’ll get an email from Elisabeth that your swap cards are ready, and you’ll pick up five awesomely assorted cards. Sound like fun? Email elisabeth@paperanthology today!

TWO New Penny Black Christmas Classes

Join Elisabeth for your choice of two different four-card classes, featuring Penny Black’s newest release:  “Masterpieces Made Simple”, a set of gorgeous images printed on premium cardstock. Choose from “Snowfall Serenity” (photo above) or “Pinecones and Peace” (photo below). Similar to the Penny Black sticker classes from years past, all the images come fully colored, they’re ready to add to your card and embellish. They make a striking, quick and easy card, but it looks like you fussed over it for hours! Please note that spots for this class are very limited, so email elisabeth@paperanthology.com ASAP to reserve your place!


A Penny Black Christmas I:  Snowfall Serenity (cards pictured above) Dates available: Thursday, October 28th from 6 to 9 pm; or Saturday, November 13th from 12 to 3 pm.
