Ugly Sweater OR Gingerbread Dreams** Workshop
Saturday, December 13th • 5:00 PM
Location: Then Is Now — 465 N. Franklin St, Frankenmuth, MI

Kick off the holiday season with a cozy, creative evening as we make 3D Folio Cards—beautifully dimensional projects that fall halfway between a card and a mini journal. Each folio opens to reveal interactive elements like pockets, envelope-style pockets, tags, ephemera, and themed pages… a handmade card and a meaningful gift all in one.

This month, you get to choose your project when you register:

❄️ OPTION 1: Ugly Sweater 3D Folio Card

A playful pastel folio with pink poinsettias, ornaments, watercolor sweater patterns, tags, ephemera, and sweet (or sassy!) sweater quotes.
Inside, you’ll find:

• Waterfall pages for photos + journaling

• Regular pockets

• Two envelope-style pockets

• Lots of pastel holiday ephemera

• Coordinating ribbon and lace

✨ Choose Your Sweater Cover

• “Let’s Get Lit”
• “Resting Grinch Face”
• “Fa La La Whatever”

Cute, cheeky, and full of pastel Christmas charm!

🍭 OPTION 2: Gingerbread Dreams 3D Folio Card

A warm, nostalgic folio featuring gingerbread characters and sweet candy-shop patterns. Inside the kit you’ll find red + white stripes, swirly hard candies, gumdrops, tiny gingerbread houses, and lots of gingerbread-themed ephemera.

The folio includes:

• Folio-style pages (instead of waterfalls)

• Regular pockets

• Two envelope-style pockets

• Tags, ephemera, and candy-inspired accents

✨ Choose Your Gingerbread Cover

• Gingerbread House (pink + red accents)

These characters appear throughout the folio on pockets, tags, and ephemera.
