Hello friends! Happy Monday! Recently, we shared a fantastic weekend with 2900 of our cardmaking friends for our Crop & Create Delivered Cardmaking virtual event. It was also World Cardmaking Day weekend, and we couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate the amazing hobby of cardmaking. We kicked off the event with a LIVE unboxing with our owner and founder Catherine Tachdjian. Her special guest for the evening was Meghann Andrew! It was finally time for #teamnopeek to finally see what was in their jam-packed event boxes.
Throughout the weekend our attendees took AMAZING classes from our Crop & Create Delivered instructors, who guided everyone through the creative process so that they were able to work through the classes in the comfort of their own craft rooms. Colleen Beamish created these gorgeous cards during Laura Bassen’s “Color Meets Dimension” class using products from our friends at Hero Arts.
Our friend Taylor VanBruggen from Taylored Expressions taught a class that gave us all the fall vibes with awesome stencils, foil sheets, and sentiment stamps. There are so many gorgeous cards that came from this class! These cards by Lisa Eberding caught our eye. If this doesn’t make you want to create a fall card, I don’t know what will!
One of our favorite things to see during the event weekend is groups of friends creating together. Laura Gardea shared this photo of her family getting together for the event. Doesn’t this look like fun?!? There’s nothing better than creating alongside those you love.
Darlene Tan-Man Kwan also enjoyed the event with a friend. Not only that, she had one of our Crop & Create Delivered tumblers filled with her favorite drink!
Not only were there groups gathering together to create, but they also had fantastic treats and snacks ready for the event. Aren’t these cookies adorable? I’m sure they were delicious, too! Thank you, Sheila Langlois, for sharing the photo of your yummy treats!
Kristina Werner-Hansen wowed us with her cards using products from Mama Elephant. The cute little critters combined with a rainbow of colors captured our hearts. These adorable cards from Debbie Northrup show what a great class this was!
Close to My Heart always brings a fantastic class and projects to our events. This time wasn’t any different, and Jill Broadbent guided our attendees through the creation of three masculine cards, which are always a hit and great to have on hand. These beautiful cards were created by Ruth Ann Nielson. We love seeing what our attendees create through the shared albums in the private Facebook group.
Throughout the event, there were thousands of cards created and there will be many, many more in the coming weeks! This photo of Penny Grimsly and all of her fabulous cards put such a big smile on our faces!
Of course, this event wouldn’t be possible without Catherine Tachdjian, our publisher and founder here at SCT, and Gina Krupsky from Gina K. Designs! Catherine visited Gina’s beautiful studio to host the weekend’s events. They are so great together AND they always have so many prizes to share from our amazing partners.

Thank you everyone for a fabulous weekend! I was actually busy helping my hubby with some essential chores outside (because more hands make lighter work and the weather was cooperating) but I did manage to create with Gina K before the chores and I can’t wait to work on all of the other classes! This was an incredibly jam-packed weekend of inspiration and fun and even though I couldn’t be “with” you, you sure made me feel like I was an important part of the crafty goodness! So thank you again to everyone involved! Wishing everyone lots more inspiration and time to create using all of the goodness from that weekend!
It was a wonderful event!! The classes were great! Thank you to Catherine & Jack, Gina & Tom, all the instructors, entire SCT team, and all the sponsors for making this event such a success!
Looks like it was a lot of fun.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Catherine and the amazing SCT team, the instructors, and the sponsors are such a bright spot in my life.
This was a fantastic event full of inspiration, phenomenal instructors, mind blowing products from all of the companies and hours of great fun. Thank you all who helped put this event together. You are are wonderful humans.
Oh gosh, this looks like it was a blast!! We were cleaning up from a hurricane or I would have paid more attention to all of the happenings that day on your Live podcasts! I hope to go one day in person!!
These events always look so fun! Like a giant international party. ????
