Craftsmas in July

Christmas is coming early at Paper & Picnics!

Join us for a cozy afternoon of journaling, crafting, festive treats and creative conversation as we celebrate Craftsmas in July. Whether you’re an experienced crafter or simply looking for a relaxing way to spend a winter afternoon, this event is designed to bring together creative people in a welcoming and inspiring space.

Expect a table full of stationery, stickers, washi tape, paper ephemera and plenty of creative inspiration. Bring your journal, scrapbook, sketchbook or current creative project, or simply come along and make something new.

🎀 Secret Santa Craft Swap

This month we’ll be hosting a handmade Secret Santa style craft swap. Guests are invited (but not required) to bring a small handmade paper craft to exchange with another attendee. Ideas include:

• Handmade cards
• Bookmarks
• Journaling tags
• Artist trading cards (ATCs)
• Mini zines
• Sticker sheets
• Small scrapbook layouts
• Other paper based creations

The swap is completely optional, but it’s a lovely way to share creativity and leave with a handmade keepsake from another guest.

Your ticket includes:

🎄 Access to our festive crafting space

🎄 Shared stationery and crafting supplies

🎄 Tea, coffee and hot chocolate

🎄 Sweet treats and snacks

🎄 Entry into the Secret Santa craft swap (optional)

🎄 An afternoon of creativity, connection and Christmas nostalgia

Whether you’re coming with friends or attending solo, you’ll be welcomed into a friendly community of paper lovers, journalers and creative minds.

We can’t wait to celebrate Craftsmas in July with you!
