This three-hour session invites you to step away from day-to-day pressures and immerse yourself in some calm, hands-on creativity.
Designing and making as many cards as you like, participants will explore a variety of techniques—including inking, stamping, embossing, and die-cutting—with helpful demonstrations along the way.
Beyond learning new skills, this workshop is designed as a mindful retreat for your mental well-being. Engaging in hands-on crafting offers a powerful way to reduce stress, acting as a form of "active meditation" that focuses the mind and calms the nervous system. Because everyone is encouraged to follow their own creative instincts, there are no wrong choices to make.
This freedom fosters a safe, judgment-free space that boosts self-esteem and unlocks self-expression. Gathering together with other carers also provides a wonderful opportunity for social connection, allowing your group to bond, share laughs, and support each other through the joy of making.
All materials and supplies are included so you can simply show up, breathe easy, and enjoy the therapeutic benefits of crafting—all while getting a satisfying head start on your Festive cards, leaving with beautiful handmade keepsakes. Light lunch will also be provided.

Notes
At Lanarkshire Carers, we try our very best to ensure that carers get access to as much information and training opportunities as possible to help them in their caring role. We provide free of charge training courses to ensure that no carer will ever be unable to attend due to financial reasons. However, there is a cost to us and for some courses, it can be considerable.
We understand that as carers, something can arise which would prevent you from attending a pre-registered course. If you are unable to attend please contact us as soon as possible. Many of these courses have a waiting list and unless we know, we are unable to offer your place to someone else.
