Chapters & Cards: The Book Lounge x The Stamping Zoo
Because an "HBD" text is lazy and a $7 drugstore card is daylight robbery. Join us for a hands-on evening of paper crafting, drinks, and DIY magic—no experience required.
Lisa from The Stamping Zoo will supply the all-inclusive kit with pre-cut papers, stamps, and glue; you bring the drinks and creative energy. She will also have additional kits for purchase!
The class is $50 and includes your first kit and first beverage.
