A card-making party table: coloured cardstock, ribbons, stamps and finished handmade cards among candles on purple velvet

Card making parties

Two hours at a table full of card, ribbon, stamps and glitter, making as many cards as you like. Beginners get shown how. Everyone leaves with a stack.

  • At your venue

Make as many as you like

There is no set number and no set design. Some people make one beautiful card in two hours. Some make nine. Both leave happy, and we genuinely cannot tell you which type you are until you sit down.

If you have never made a card in your life, we will show you where to start and the tricks that make a homemade card look like a bought one, only better. If you already make your own, help yourself to the table and ignore us completely.

Book it before Christmas and you can walk out with the year's cards done, which is the single most satisfying thing you can do in November.

Who books this one

Hen parties

Calmer than cocktails, and the bride keeps the cards. Hen parties get a complimentary bottle of bubbly from us.

Christmas card runs

A group of friends, one November evening, everyone's Christmas cards finished in a single sitting. People rebook this one yearly.

Craft afternoons

Community groups, neighbours, a birthday that wants making things rather than noise. It works anywhere with a decent table.

Questions

I have never made a card. Will I keep up?

Yes. The tuition is built in, not an extra, and nobody is racing. By the end of the first card you will not want the help any more.

What do we need to provide?

A table everyone fits round and chairs. We bring everything else and clear it all away afterwards.

Can we have it at your rooms instead of ours?

Yes. Every party on the site can run at our two rooms in Plymouth, same price as when we come to you. Ring Sharon and she will hold the date.

Got a date in mind?

Tell us the date, the ages and roughly how many, and we will come back to you the same day with what we can do.

  • Everything arrives with us. You provide the room and the cake
  • Set up an hour before, and we tidy up afterwards
  • £5 million public liability and an enhanced DBS
  • Answering the phone every day, 9am to 8pm
