  Zoom Kit Class March 20th 2024 7-8pm ET Follow this link  for more details Once a month I do a Zoom Kit Class where we make 6  themed cards.  March's theme is Easter/spring cards. Sneak Peek The class costs $15.00 for 6 pre-prepped card ingredients 2 each of 3 designs (or a try out offer of $8.00 for one of each),  plus 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 $1 extra) 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.
