My Very First Card Kit!

By tarryn on July 22, 2020

I am very excited to launch my first card kit. I worked along with my mom, who teaches the art of handmade greeting cards. I painted up the citrus design by hand, scanned it in and turned it into stickers. I then took the idea to my mom who can up with wonderful versions and examples the card kit can be used for!

Card kit makes 3 cards, here are three examples. But your imagination is really the limit.

This is a great kit for those who want to get creative and make beautiful handmade cards you can be proud of. All the elements make it easy with sticker backings and have a very beautiful glossy finish.

Kit comes with enough to make 3 cards (2 small and one large). There are usually supplies left over, so if you have extra card bases at home you can get even more out of this kit.

☞ CARD KIT INCLUDES:
✂ 1- 5×7 inch folded card base (and envelope)
✂ 2- 4.25x5x5 inch folded card base (and envelopes)
✂ Sentiments and sayings on glossy sticker based paper
✂ Large, medium and small lemon and lime slice stickers
✂ 2- Lemon and Lime background sheets with sticker bases
