CARD KIT FOR THE BOYS

The talented Deb from Doozey Chicks has been on fire lately and created two fabulous new kits.  The one we are focusing on today is "For the Boys" and it contains everything you need to make 10  fabulous cards covering boys from babies to the more mature gentleman.

You even get a bonus tag you can pop on a bottle of something yummy (maybe even alcoholic) and a bonus set of dies for FREE in the kit. 

All our kits come complete with colour photos, cards, envelopes, paper, card, die cuts and embellishments to complete the cards.  If you are local, you might like to make the most of our free scrap and chat sessions (you can find them on our blog here under the classes / events tab) and work with the real life samples in front of you.

Great for camping, caravanning, weekend get aways or just to save you thinking!!!

This kit is available for just $45.00 while stocks last.
