August’s Holiday Jumpstart Card Kit is our pre-packaged kit that includes everything you need (except ink and adhesives) to complete FIVE copies of this new original holiday card design. It’s called “Bells Are Ringing” and includes Honey Bee’s Layering Holiday Bells die set, which we think you’ll get plenty of use out of in future holiday cardmaking! Kits are available in-store and online for $38. Locals, be sure to choose the “PICK UP IN STORE” option at checkout to save on shipping.
Everyone probably loves the IDEA of making holiday cards throughout the year, instead being overloaded in November and December, but honestly, it can be difficult to be inspired during the “off-season”. Paper Anthology’s Christmas Card Club is a wonderful solution, but it fills up quickly, and what if you can’t make it to the store one Friday night per month? Here’s an additional option that works entirely on your schedule.
This kit contains:
Honey Bee’s Layering Holiday Bells die set;
Enough light pink, dark pink, silver, gold and white glitter cardstock to make five pairs of layered bell diecuts with bow accents;
Five A2 white card bases;
Five 5.25 x 4″ pierced cardstock background panels with assorted washi tape accent strips;
Five pre-cut sheet music ovals with gold cardstock oval mats;
Five pre-cut “Noel” sentiments;
Five deep evergreen and five pale juniper branches;
Five white half-pearl accents
Complete, detailed instructions and large full color photo

Join Lauren for a new three-card class that’s BEACHY keen! We’ll color images from Honey Bee’s Seashells stamp set with Distress Watercolor Pencils (wait until you try them!); and add sentiments from Honey Bee’s Flippin’ Fabulous set. Make a splash with papers from Photoplay’s Beach Vibes collection, fall in love again with old-school round eyelets when paired with May Arts Burlap String, then finish off with colorful diecut foliage and golden sequins. The only question is, will you send these sunkissed cards to your favorite folk, or be SHELLFISH and keep them?
Students are requested to bring their basic kit including all the recommended adhesives (complete list is on the righthand sidebar of the Class and Calendar pages); as well as a fine-tipped waterbrush if they have one.
Cost is $24 payable by cash or check only. Dates available: Monday, April 24th, 11am to 2pm; Saturday, May 6th, 12-3pm; or Friday, May 19th, 6-9pm. Please email elisabeth@paperanthology.com to reserve your spot.
If you thought Lauren’s fun-fueled FIVE Car(d) and a Folder Class sounded great, but you’re too far (or too busy) to attend, we’ve got the perfect solution: Here it is, as a Paper Anthology Class in a Kit! The kit features the same fabulous ingredients you’d be using in class… just in a more portable format.
This kit contains:
Five stamped and diecut Classic Cars from Honey Bee’s “Car Show” stamp set (1967 Chevy Malibu, 1956 Bel Air, 1963 Corvette Sting Ray, 1932 Ford Model A and 1960 Chevy Nova)
Five 4 x 5.25″ patterned paper background panels
All of the pre-cut collage panels for each card, with washi tape applied
Five pre-stamped sentiments, from Honey Bee’s “You’re a Classic” set, ready to be trimmed into flags
Five white folded A2 cards
One pre-cut, scored and folded presentation folder (just add adhesive!)
Pre-stamped panel, mat, heart and seambinding for front of folder, ready to assemble
Full color photos
Complete step-by-step written instructions
You’ll color the cars using your favorite coloring tools, assemble the pre-cut pieces into simple collages with the photos to guide you, and add the sentiments to complete each card. You’ll use pre-stamped and diecut pieces to decorate the presentation folder. The only problem will be deciding whether to send the cards to five different friends… give them as a set to one special person, or… keep them for yourself!
Meanwhile, if you DO live nearby, there are still a few spots in the March 6th, March 18th and March 24th classes, so email elisabeth@paperanthology.com to reserve a spot!

Please note that these products are only available for purchase IN STORE, but you can email elisabeth@paperanthology.com to reserve your favorites! Check out this short video showing the collection:
There are beautiful dies, like this three-part diorama, Looking Glass Winter Forest which lets you make a multi-layer forest landscape with just three easy cuts! Hero Arts never disappoints when it comes to stamps, of course; this sentiment is one of three that are featured in the Christmas Robins stamp set, shown in the top photo from Hero; there’s a coordinating die set available for the Robins, as well.
The Snowy Rooftops Old Prints stamp pairs beautifully with the Elegant Window fancy die; (just imagine HOW MANY ways you could use that window!) the “warm and cozy” sentiment comes from the Christmas Holidays Stamp and Cut set which features two large diecut greetings with shadows (“Happy Holidays” and Merry Christmas“) as well as thirteen smaller sentiments which can be used separately or together.
Slimline cards are still a huge trend and this Slimline Christmas and New Year Cover Plate die lets you make an effortless shaker card… plus… you’ve got those cut-out letters to arrange in any way you like on a second BONUS card!
There are lots more beautiful and useful items, including Holly Berries stamps and coordinating Holly Berries Frame Cuts Die Set…
Christmas Rose stamps and coordinating Christmas Rose Frame Cuts Die Set…
Beautiful Large Snowflakes and Swirls dies…
