We Love Kits!

We've started putting together Gorgeous Embellishment Kits.

(and we do say so ourselves!)

These will feature embellishments split from larger packs.

This way you'll get co-ordinated product and

a chance to check out all the wonderful goodies

without breaking the bank ;)

Here's the first and this one comes complete

with a handy re-usable storage container!

And each new paper collection that hits the shelves

will be featured in a mini kit with co-ordinating

cardstock & embellishments. Saving you time

to get on with your precious crafting :)

There are many to put together and here

are the first few!
