Joy to All- (Version #2)-UNSTAMPED Edition

CLICK HERE to order your Joy to All UNSTAMPED Edition ($25 + shipping); CLICK HERE to get the original kit WITH stamps ($40 + shipping)

Thanks to an inquiry from someone who already owns Lawn Fawn’s “Joy to All” stamps and just wanted the papers and embellishments to create the cards, we’ve added a SECOND edition of the Joy To All Kit (The UNSTAMPED Edition), which DOES NOT HAVE PRE-STAMPED tree or characters!!!

Holiday Jumpstart: Joy to All Card Making Kit UNSTAMPED Edition is a second version of Paper Anthology’s newest holiday card kit, Joy to All. This version is for those who ALREADY OWN THE STAMPS! Take care when ordering and note that the edition without stamps costs $25; and the original edition, WITH stamp set, costs $40 (which is $25 of kit + $15 of stamp set, in case you were wondering!) Please note: There is no version of the kit that contains pre-stamped images from the Joy to All stamp set.

Paper Anthology’s Holiday Jumpstart Card Kit is our pre-packaged kit that includes everything you need (except ink and adhesive) to complete FIVE copies of this new original holiday card design. This edition is called “Joy to All” based on the super-cute stamp set used in the design.

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 (v, ink and adhesive) to complete five adorable Christmas morning scenes in card form. Kit includes complete written instructions (not pictured, but included!) and a nice big photo for reference.
