Welcome Gift Idea - Painted Wishes Card Kit

Still time to make Holiday cards or New Years cards!

My Dad's side of the family Christmas party was this past weekend.

I am extremely close with many of my cousins.

I lived with my Aunt Janice and her family when I was in my early 20's.

I have stayed close, like a daughter to her, and like a sister to her kids (my cousins).

My cousin Kelly and I shared a room when I lived with them.

When I was visiting with her during the party she was admiring the Christmas card I made for her.

She said she has taken to sending New Year's cards because then she can include a family photo that is taken during Christmas.

Her children are spread out over the US, two in WI (one near Milwaukee and one in Madison) and two in other states (one in California and one in Louisiana).

Christmas is the one time per year that all four of her children (and their families) are home.

As I said to her, I love the IDEA of a New Years card!

It extends the Holiday spirit!

So, if you feel too much pressure to get out Christmas cards, think about New Year's cards, Hello friend cards, or even thinking of you cards.

A card at any time is special and welcomed by the person receiving it!

Make a card! Send a card! Anytime!

Marking occasions is something that is important to me.

If it is for you, then maybe you would consider this AWESOME gift idea?

The beautiful new Painted Wishes Card Kit!

No stamps or ink required!

It is the perfect gift for someone with little supplies or experience crafting.

It allows the maker to feel creative - similar to art projects when we were kids.

The project is all laid out and all you have to do is assemble!

They are stunning with beautiful sentiments!

The kit includes:

  • Enough supplies to create 9 cards—3 each of 3 designs
  • 9 coordinating envelopes
  • Printed card bases, printed die cuts, adhesive, sequins, and gold cord (No stamping needed).
  • Sentiments come in English, French, German, and Dutch; they cover birthday, thank you and friendship.
  • Finished card size: 4-1/4" x 5-1/2"
  • Lovely coordinating colors: Garden Green, Lemon Lime Twist, Moody Mauve, Petal Pink, Pretty Peacock, and Wild Wheat

Make the cards!

Get a kit for yourself and put the cards together to give as a gift with a book of stamps!

Get a kit for yourself and put them together to have quick cards on hand when you need them.

You can't go wrong!

You are providing someone with a token of your appreciation and friendship either NOW as a gift or in the future when you make and send the card!
