This beautiful card features an image, sentiment and die from Taylored Expressions Cottontail Wishes Stamp and Die Combo, which cleverly includes five other, non-seasonal greetings (Miss You, Happy Everything, Hello There, Celebrating You and Welcome Little One) so that you can use it all through the year, for everything from birthdays to babies to “just because” cards! The sweet bunny was stamped on Northwoods Watercolor Paper (not available online, but there’s plenty in stock!) and watercolored with Tombow Dual Brush Pens (we’ve got 101 colors!). The sentiment was stamped separately and diecut with Penny Black Ribbon Stackers.
Oh Baby is our latest Class in a Kit, which makes four lovely, unisex cards with no stamping, embossing or diecutting necessary; though there is a bit of fussy-cutting. Each kit contains four double-sided sheets of patterned paper from P13’s beautiful Baby Joy collection and all the embellishments and mats shown, plus full instructions. You will have plenty of extra paper left over, to make several additional cards or a coordinating gift! Please note that all the kits have exactly the same papers, though as they are packed, some show more pink and some show more blue.
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.
