Hillsdale Craft Supply will hold a Valentine’s Day card making class Jan. 28 at its 164 Lewis St. location. The class will be held in waves: participants can come any time between 1 and 6 p.m.

At the event, customers will be able to purchase a card kit for $4, which includes all materials and the necessary instruction. The class is open to people of any skill level.

“The only thing they have to bring is a smile,” said Shelley Mangus, the owner of Hillsdale Craft Supply. “We provide everything.”

Mangus holds holiday-themed card-making classes on the fourth Sunday of every month. 

Sidnie Kubien, who works with Close to My Heart, the paper supply company who partners with Hillsdale Craft Supply, will teach the class. Participants in the January session will learn to use die cut machines to construct creative Valentines Day cards. 

“I love when participants use their own imagination and get creative with the tools I give them,” Kubien said. “That’s what excites me.”

Hillsdale Craft Supply offers a variety of other arts and crafts classes on a monthly basis, including in watercolor, acrylic, knitting, and crochet. Customers can also assemble a private custom crafting event with guests of their choosing. 

“All of our classes are inclusive. You come with a smile and go home with your finished product,” Mangus said. 

For students who would like to participate but lack transportation, Mangus said Hillsdale Craft Supply can send a car over for students who call ahead. 

“Everybody has a little bit of creativity in them,” Kubien said. “You just need to pull that out of them.”
