NEW Birthday Class in a Kit(s)!

Happy Birthday Girl is a four card class, featuring beautiful Vintage Hues transparencies from Stamp-On-It.  Feminine flowers, beautiful papers and a subtle shimmer make these perfect for the birthday girls in your life. These cards are quick and easy but have a real “wow” factor! But what if you need some masculine cards, as well? Luckily there’s a Happy Birthday Guy kit, too; with masculine images that are nautical, but nice! As always, full color photos and complete written instructions are included, as well as all the supplies you need! Check out the other Paper Anthology Class in a Kit projects, as well.
