A Thanksgiving Note and a Black Friday Sneak Peek!

Hi Crafty Friend, Taylor here! As we head into Thanksgiving, I want to take a moment to tell you how grateful I am for you. Your creativity, kindness, and enthusiasm light up every corner of what we do, and I am so thankful to craft alongside you. You truly make this community something special.
This week is always a big one! Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and all the excitement that kicks off the holiday season are just around the corner, and we have so many fun things planned. Our Black Friday sale begins Wednesday, November 26, with special $100 and $200 Gifts with Purchase available only during this event. Then on Friday and Saturday, we’ll have our deeply discounted Doorbuster Bundles, which always go quickly.
Helpful tips for a smooth Black Friday shopping experience:
- If you’re hoping to grab a Doorbuster Bundle, place a separate order for the bundle only. Having a full cart at checkout can slow things down or cause issues if an item becomes out of stock, and we don’t want you to miss out!
- Crafty Points coupons can be used on your purchase (one per order).
- Every order qualifies for our every order stamp freebie.
- Orders of $100 and $200 qualify for our exclusive Gifts with Purchase. If you hit $200, you’ll receive both.
- If you run into checkout trouble, it may be due to an out-of-stock item in your cart. Removing it usually resolves the issue.
