Here is another sneak peek at what is coming in the 2017 Holiday Catalog debuting on September 1, s017.
The Watercolor Christmas Card Kit for $20 USD makes 20 cards when supplemented by the coordinating stamp set, black ink and some adhesives. I'm loving this kit, because it makes attractive holiday cards fast and easy. The 4 designs the kit give instructions for making (you would make 5 of each) are shown below.

Aren't they pretty!? And there is absolutely no watercoloring skills involved in order to make any of these cards.
But I figured out a way to DOUBLE the cards by adding in just a couple extra supplies…Whisper White cardstock and envelopes!! I'm excited to share. Watch this video to get tips, measurements and ideas for splitting up the kit supplies from the 4 card varieties to make 8 variations and doubling the kit. So if you need to make 80 Christmas cards, you can get 2 kits instead of 4…and adding in the white cardstock and envelopes will still save you about $25. Gotta love saving money especially around the holidays!
Here are close-up photos of each of the 8 card styles I created and shared in the video.
With these layouts below and adding 15 sheets of Whisper White & 20 extra Whisper White envelopes, you can get 40 cards instead of just 20 from each kit (5 of each of these 8 designs).

Wow…thanks so much for sharing this idea, I love it. I’ve been thinking about how to use this kit in my Christmas card classes but the cost was keeping me back. Now you have solved that! Thanks again for your talent and for sharing.

Great ideas! I planned on getting this kit and now I know I will. I am in the midst of making Halloween and Christmas cards for charities so I had been get to ordering this set and use your ideas and tips to get a lot of band for my buck. I have some of the gold sequins on thread and now I know what to do with them and make a great card to boot! Thanks Rache.
How creative! I love your alternative projects!! You do a great job thinking outside the box!
Oh Yay!!! I’m glad I could help you out, Mary. 🙂
Fabulous! Thanks Chris!! And best wishes with your cards that you are already making. How wonderful that you are helping others through your creativity.
Thanks Susan. I’m a kit gal, I guess. hahaha
Thanks for sharing this! I was also thinking about using this kit in a class but but thought the ROI wasn’t there. Now I’m definitely going to use this kit. If I keep watching you long enough I will learn how to think outside the box (and kit). THANK YOU again!
So glad I could help, Christine! Have fun with your class. 🙂
