MOTIVATION MONDAY

It’s time for a new Product Showcase of the Week, and this week we’re wrapping things up with the festive All Wrapped Up Suite Collection!

This collection is perfect for creating beautiful holiday cards, gift tags, packaging, and so much more. I love how the coordinating products make it easy to mix and match while creating projects that have a polished, put-together look.

To kick off the week, I’m sharing my Motivation Monday template and card. The template gives you a starting point for creating your own card using the All Wrapped Up products or any products you have on hand! I’d love for you to give it a try and put your own Carolina Craftin’ spin on it!

FUN FAMILY RIVALRY

September 20, 2026 · Comments Off

This weekend, Carolina Craftin took a little break from the craft room for some family fun!

As a UNC Chapel Hill alum, I found myself heading to Clemson to watch the Carolina-Clemson game and, more importantly, see my nephew, who is a member of the Clemson marching band. It was a fun family rivalry, lots of school spirit, and a wonderful opportunity to spend time together even though my Tarheels lost.

Sometimes the best memories happen away from the craft table!

Have you ever looked at a handmade card and thought, “I wish I could make something like that!”? Well, this is your chance to give it a try!

Join me at Carolina Craftin’ for a FREE virtual celebration of World Card Making Day on Saturday, October 3, 2026, at 2:00 PM EST!

🌸 Brand New to Card Making? You’re Invited!

This event is designed to be beginner friendly, so please don’t worry if you’ve never made a card before. You don’t need a craft room full of supplies. You don’t need years of experience. And you definitely don’t need to be “crafty” already!

I’ll walk you through each project step-by-step, making it easy to follow along from home. Whether you’re completely new to card making or you’ve been creating cards for years, I’d love to have you join us.

💌 What Can You Expect?

During this approximately 1 to just a little over an hour virtual event, we’ll create 3 fun cards or projects together. I have created a special Facebook group just for this occasion. You’ll receive project PDFs for each project so you can follow along during the event and have the instructions to refer back to afterward. I’ll also share tips and encouragement along the way to help you feel comfortable getting started with card making.

🎉 And the Best Part…This event is completely FREE!

I’m hosting this special event exclusively through Carolina Craftin’ because I want to celebrate the joy of handmade cards and introduce more people to this fun, creative hobby. You can participate from the comfort of your own home, at your own craft table—or even your kitchen table!

Whether you’re an experienced card maker or someone who has never made a card before, there is a place for you at Carolina Craftin’.
