12 Days of A Handcrated Christmas - Day 12

Welcome to Day 12, the final day of our journey through the 12 Days of a Handcrafted Christmas! As you all can imagine, a lot of work went into sharing these handcrafted gift ideas and I'm so thankful for my 'behind the scenes' team who joined me in the creative process and video production. As we began this journey three weeks ago I remember wondering if we'd ever make it to the end, but now that we're at the end I'm getting a little sad! I'm going to miss typing "Welcome to Day ___ of a Handcrafted Christmas! *grin*

If you've been hanging around my blog for long, then you know how much I love making cards. I'm excited to get back in my comfort zone for our final handcrafted gift idea! Today we're introducing Monogram Card Kits. These kits will include all the pieces you'll need to create a beautiful and personalized gift for friends and family! And the best part about the card kit... all of the pieces are cut to the size you'll need to create the sets pictured below saving you tons of time!





Each Monogram Card Kit comes with enough supplies to create ten cards along with envelopes, a Perfect Package gift box, and a full-color instruction sheet. We've also provided the patterned papers you'll need to decorate the Perfect Package as pictured below. And if that's not enough... when you purchase the Monogram Card Kit you'll receive our Monogram Download FREE! The only thing you'll need to complete the project is a rubber stamp, a little black cardstock, and a border punch.


Below you'll find links to the supplies I used to create each card kit. Many of these products can be found in our 12 Days of Christmas category along with lots of the supplies we've used to create the other handcrafted gifts we've shared! All products in this category will remain on sale through October 31st or while supplies last.
