Holiday Jumpstart: XL Very Merry Shaker Card Making Kit

Holiday Jumpstart: XL Very Merry Shaker Card Making Kit is Paper Anthology’s newest holiday card kit, this one is a little different: instead of five A2 cards (4.25 x 5.5″ each); you’ll make FOUR almost A7 sized SHAKER cards (5 x 6.25″ each). Appropriate envelopes are included.

Paper Anthology’s Holiday Jumpstart Card Kit is our pre-packaged kit that includes everything you need (except adhesive) to complete multiple copies (in this case FOUR) of a new original holiday card design. This edition is called “XL Very Merry Shaker Card” based on the card’s beautiful diecut coverplate sentiment AND it’s larger-than-usual card size.

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 four beautiful, streamlined, wordart shaker cards, including complete written instructions (not pictured, but included!) and a nice big photo for reference.

This kit contains:

Four pre-diecut patterned paper coverplate sentiment panels
Four clear acetate liners
Four deep blue cardstock backing panels
Enough custom-blended sequin mix for four shaker cards
Complete step-by-step instruction sheet with large color photo
Four silver shimmer A7 cards
Four A7 envelopes
