Plantastic: New Class in a Kit on Etsy

Not to brag, but the newest Class in a Kit selection in our Etsy Shop, Paper Anthology Design, is truly PLANTASTIC!

Grow your card stash with this bloomin’ beautiful trio of unbe-LEAF-able greetings! (Ok, sorry, that’s the end of the diabolical puns… probably…) These cards are built around the lovely containers in Honeybee Stamps’ Bud Vases die set, which have all been pre-cut for you from gold metallic and brushed silver cardstock as well as real wood veneer. Likewise, the pierced and embossed panels, diecut sentiments and pretty label shapes are all ready to roll; you can skip right to the FUN parts: arranging, assembling and attaching all the elements into some of the fastest greetings ever. 

This kit includes everything you need (except adhesive!) to create all three cards as pictured, as well as step-by-step instructions and a nice big color photo to help with placement. All the joy of a gorgeous garden, with no green thumb needed!

Visit the Paper Anthology Design Etsy Shop to see all of the wonderful Class in a Kit selections, as well as some Holiday Jumpstarts to get your winter holiday cards in gear and Birthday Jumpstarts to build your stash of annual greetings. And stay tuned for more titles coming soon! ♥
