now to ring in the New Year at ARTSY with one of our most favorite things - $1
Cards! Yep – Artsy is OPEN on NEW YEARS DAY and will have at least 6 different designs you can create for only $1
EACH! See your sneak peek of each one below. Feel free to make as many as you
like for $1 each…but we need to ask you to please call ahead to reserve a time slot. In the past, we’ve had 30 people arrive at
about the same time for this fun event and we didn’t have enough seating for
everyone. Making a reservation ahead of
time will ensure YOU have the most positive and fun experience – and you’ll get
to make the cards YOU want! Bring your
basic kit and adhesives with you as only the card supplies will be provided. On Friday, 1/1 from 12:30-3pm

embossing folders for the first time or get a little more practice in? Or use a Cutterpillar? Or try out a few
stencils, stamps, inks, sprays, etc? This
is your chance. Please feel free to come
by during the designated hours and hang out creating whatever makes you smile!
