Zoom Kit Class February 28th 2024 7-8:30pm ET Follow this link for more details Once a month I do a Zoom Kit Class where we make 6 themed cards.  February's theme is Masculine-inspired cards.  Sometimes the guys in our life can be hard to make cards for and they deserve it, so here's a solution! The class costs $12.00 for 6 pre-prepped card ingredients (2 each of 3 designs)  and the envelopes.  Due to copyright laws I'm not allowed to sell you a stamped image, unless it's part of a finished product (like a craft fayre card for example) but what I will send you is all the card bases (cut and scored) all the layers (usually DSP and/or  embossed)  and the embellishments (sequins, ribbon, dimensionals, etc) , and even some glue dots (by request) of you don't have your own adhesive. I will include a sentiment layer that you can add your own greeting. A lot of my Zoom cards use past Paper Pumpkin stamps, which is a great way to make use of your subscription. To subscrib
