NEW! 1,000 Card Quotes CD

Card making heaven! That’s what I said when I realized this CD has 1,000 illustrated card quotes that you can print out over and over again—for just $14.99! (Do you know how much 1,000 stamps would cost? I don’t want to think about it…) Even better, this versatile collection includes card messages for just about every theme, from birthday to Valentines, anniversary, sympathy, thinking of you and all-occasion, plus definitions for words like “celebration” and “appreciate”. Just print the quote onto paper or vellum, then color with chalks or pencils. Mac and PC compatible.

NEW! 5,000 Ephemera Art Pieces

A treasure trove! I love using vintage-inspired ephemera on my cards, ATCs, scrapbook pages…just about any paper craft. And this handy CD is going to save me a lot of money. For just $14.99, I can print out any of the 5,000 (yes, 5,000!) vintage-style ephemera art pieces as often as I like! Images include faux postage stamps, old-fashioned cars, clocks, and portraits of elegant ladies. Definitions are also included, perfect for card focals or scrapbook page journaling. It’s a phenomenal value and one treasure trove I know I’ll be using over and over!

NEW! Paper Flair™ Clearly Collage Card Kit

Your secret to collaged cards! Oh, my…this card kit is a must-have. Just look: It’s packed with papers, transparencies and instructions to make 10 absolutely gorgeous collage-style cards in themes like birthday, inspiration and all-occasion. Make them exactly as they are in the kit, or add your own foam tape, rhinestones or glitter glue. It’s like a cardmaking class in a kit. I’ve never seen a card kit like this one…the transparencies really add the magic!

NEW! Paper Flair™ Christmas Shaped Card Kit

Get a jump-start! Okay, it might seem a bit early to think about Christmas cards…but I remember last December when I panicked and had to do a marathon Christmas card making session. This year I think I’ll do myself a favor and get a head start on holiday cards with the new Christmas Shaped Card kit. It’s got papers and art to make 16 different cards—all I need to do is follow the easy instructions while relaxing in the sunshine and I’ll be set!
