Let’s talk about the true magic of crafting—and no, I’m not just talking about the perfect ink blend or the satisfying peel of foam tape backing (though we love that). I’m talking about the kind of magic that turns a simple afternoon into a lifelong memory.
For me, that moment happened when I invited my little man to craft with me. What started as just another holiday project turned into something far more special—a moment of pure joy, laughter, and connection.
🎁 A CTMH Christmas Card Workshop Adventure We’ll Never Forget
The day started like any other—except this time, my little guy had a mission:
💌 Create Christmas cards from a Close To My Heart Workshop Kit.
🖍 Try his hand at stamping, cutting, and embellishing.
☕ Enjoy some hot cocoa while crafting alongside Mom.
Sounds simple, right?
But from the moment he opened that kit, his eyes sparkled with curiosity. He sorted through the cardstock, inspected the stamps, and asked, “Do I get to make my own cards too?”
💡 That’s when I knew—this wasn’t just crafting. This was about sharing something I love with someone I love.
✂️ The Joy of Crafting, Through a Child’s Eyes
Watching him dive into the project was pure magic. His first card? The coloring may have been a little wild (😂), but when he discovered foam tape to make the ornament pop, his face lit up like a Christmas tree.
“This is SO COOL! Can I make another one?”
And just like that, he was hooked.
Over the next few hours, we…
✔ Created 10 unique Christmas cards—each one with its own little quirks and personality
✔ Designed a scrapbook page to capture our crafting adventure
✔ Laughed (a LOT) over misplaced glue, accidental smudges, and stamp ink on fingers
✔ Talked about hosting a card-making party so his friends could create handmade gifts for their moms
But the best part? It wasn’t about the cards.
It was about the time spent together. It was about his pride in what he made, the giggles over crooked stamps, the way he kept saying, “This is fun!”
It was about the pure joy of creating something together.
🎄 Crafting Is Meant to Be Shared
Here’s the thing—crafting isn’t just a solo hobby. It’s a way to bring people together. To make memories. To laugh, create, and just enjoy being in the moment.
✔ Let your kids play with stamps and ink—perfection is overrated; fun is forever.
✔ Get your spouse involved—who knows, they might secretly love it!
✔ Invite a parent or grandparent—share stories while crafting side by side.
✔ Make it a holiday tradition—hot cocoa, Christmas music, and card-making? Yes, please!
Even though Close To My Heart kits are no longer available, the real magic of crafting never goes out of stock.
Whether it’s making Christmas cards, scrapbooking family memories, or just gluing things together with love—what matters is the time spent creating with the people who mean the most.
