Crafting Joy: Hand-Crafted Greeting Cards to Lift the Spirit
Advertisement
There’s something deeply meaningful about receiving a hand‑written note—an unexpected moment of care that brightens the day. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to pair those heartfelt messages with beautiful, handcrafted greeting cards which you will make yourself!
Guided by Kay Milligan, you’ll explore a variety of paper‑crafting techniques and use them to create a series of multi-layered cards. You’ll use decorative paper, stamps, ink, die cuts, and charming embellishments to create beautiful cards suitable for many occasions. By the end of the day, you will create a collection of cards perfect for birthdays, celebrations, gratitude, or simply reminding someone they’re not alone.
No experience is needed—just your curiosity and a desire to spread encouragement.
**Beginners welcome. Space is limited to 20 participants.**
Cost: $102.00 (includes program from 9:30-3:30, art supplies for the day, pastries and lunch)

Cards pictured above were crafted by Kate Milligan.

Crafting Joy is part of our fourth annual ARTIST WEEK at Rolling Ridge from May 26-29, 2026 with overnight options.
Artist Week is a spacious opportunity to spend time with other creative folks who are discovering the divine intersection of art and spirituality and expressing beauty through images and words. Our Moses Meeting will be converted into a community Art Studio for the week with workshops and space for artistic expression in all its diversity of forms. You are invited to bring your art supplies and journal to capture the ways you will be inspired by the beauty of the land and the people you will meet as you create during the week. Draw, write, paint, sculpt, create, follow the creative lead of the Creative Spirit.
Artist Week features overnight options with meals (Monday night through Friday morning). Click here for more information. Stay for one night or up to four and use the time and space as your spirit desires. We will have optional Day Apart Retreats (see below) as we welcome others into our community for the day.
