Hanukkah Jumpstart (New Card Kit)

CLICK HERE to visit the Hanukkah Jumpstart page in the Paper Anthology Design Etsy Shop

Hanukkah Jumpstart is our newest holiday card kit, available only from our Etsy Shop, Paper Anthology Design. This elegant card features the beautiful Menorah from Taylored Expressions’ Bright Hanukkah Stamp Set, gold embossed for you on white cardstock; with candles, flames and a sentiment added before being diecut into a neat oval that’s ready to mat on the navy blue ovals included. There are five white A2 gatefold cardbases, with an embossed belly band made of gold shimmer cardstock for each; as well as panels which have been pressure embossed with Sunny Studio’s Moroccan Circles Embossing Folder.

Paper Anthology’s Holiday Jumpstart Card Kit is our pre-packaged kit that includes everything you need (except adhesive) to complete FIVE copies of this new original holiday card design. This edition is called “Hanukkah Jumpstart” for obvious reasons.

Don’t we all adore the IDEA of making holiday cards throughout the year, instead being overloaded in November and December? But sometimes it’s hard to be inspired during the “off-season”. This pre-packaged kit features everything you need (except adhesive) to complete five beautiful, elegant Hanukkah cards, including complete written instructions and a nice big photo for reference.

This kit contains:

Five pre-stamped & gold embossed oval Menorah focal points
Five navy oval mats
Five pre-stamped Stars of David
Five embossed gold shimmer cardstock belly bands
Five sky blue embossed panels
Complete step-by-step instruction sheet with large color photo
Five white gatefold-fold A2 cards
