Crafty Hour - Storytelling Stamping by CraftyChica
Wednesday April 8, 2026 6:30pm - 8:30pm PDT
In this session, guests will create a stamped design on a postcard by choosing from a variety of hand-carved stamps by Kathy Cano-Murillo. Kathy assigned each stamp has a specific meaning. They will then take their postcard to Kathy and she will tell them their "story" based on the layout and stamps they used. They can then use the postcard to journal, or hopefully learn something new about themselves.
