holiday printables

I don’t know about you, but I love printable party supplies. They’re easily customized, super convenient, and so much cheaper than buying items from a party supply store.

If you’re looking for a simple way to prepare for all the special events that occur throughout the year, The Printable Holiday can help. This website offers access to over 1,000 holiday templates for just $16.95 per year. There are party invitations, greeting cards, clip art, recipes cards, thank you cards, and more. Whether you’re planning your daughter’s birthday party, getting ready for your
son’s high school graduation, or organizing a Fourth of July picnic, The Printable Holiday has you covered.

img_large_watermarkedThe Printable Holiday is part of a family of websites that also includes The Printable Wedding (offering everything you need for a walk down the aisle) and The Printable Baby (printable supplies for baby showers, birth announcements, baby scrapbook pages, and more).

“Our visitors are savvy online and computer users – they are looking for solutions that give them more control of their printables,” says product manager Lacie Murphy. “We provide attractive designer templates they can quickly customize and print immediately at home for professional results – all for a fraction of the cost of ordering printed invitations.”

LoveToKnow Corp. has generously offered to provide one lucky Craft Gossip reader with a one year subscription to the site of their choice: The Printable Holiday, The Printable Wedding, or The Printable Baby. If you’d like to enter, leave a comment telling me what type of event you have coming up where printable party supplies would be useful. I’ll announce a randomly selected winner on June 16.

What’s Next for Joann?

Now that all the Joann stores have closed, a mysterious message has appeared on the company’s website:

For generations, Joann has been honored to be part of your creativity: your quilts, costumes, school projects, and handmade moments of love. It has been our joy to serve markers and dreamers across the country.

We’re stitching up something new behind the scenes and we can’t wait to share what’s next.

Stay tuned for exciting news about the future of Joann.

To quickly recap, Joann filed for bankruptcy in January for the second time in less than a year. In February, in the hope of making the company more attractive to potential buyers, it petitioned the court for permission to close about 500 of its 800 stores. The company was put up for auction, with Gordon Brothers set to buy the company, sell its assets and close all the stores if no other buyer materialized.

In the end the winning bidder was GA Group, but the result was the same: all stores were to be closed by the end of May if not sooner.

Once store closure sales started the company quickly stopped selling on its website, and now all that remains is this jpeg image hinting at new ventures.

I’m sure there will be a tone of speculation in the coming days and weeks (or as long as it takes for them to announce the meaning of the message) as to what sorts of plans Joann could be cooking up.

My theory based on nothing but my gut is that they will transition to an online only storefront, probably with much reduced inventory, sort of like Herrschners (which had previously announced that it will be carrying Big Twist yarn, the beloved private label yarn brand sold at Joann). I also think they will use whatever retail sales they do to support CreativeBug, the digital learning platform that Joann purchased in 2017. That could mean producing kits for projects that already have classes, or developing classes based on products they want to sell, or both.

As of this writing the CreativeBug website seems to still be functional and there’s a full slate of new classes planned for June. I’ve got my eye on both the Joann website and the Joann restructuring website and will let you know as soon as I see changes.

In the meantime, I’d love to hear your speculation as to what the next chapter might be for Joann.
