Simply Retro Christmas Card Making Kit- Made Easy

Hi crafters,

One of the best things we make is our Simply series of card making kits. Today, we are going to show you how we like to work with this kit to make a fantastic, festive card. What's great about the Simply Retro Christmas Card Making Kit is that everything you need is inside the reusable folio-- from card bases and layers to embellishments and sentiments. The mix and match method creates 12 flawless cards quickly and easily; try it, you'll see! The nostalgic patterns and designs in this kit are sure to bring a smile to any recipient!
Get out your Simply Retro Christmas Card Making Kit and let's get started.
First, add a layer to  your card with foam adhesive to make it dimensional. We chose to do a blue card with a blue layer.
Add a couple of poinsettia stickers to the corners of your card. Place a gold foil embellishment behind each for added interest. Adding the gold foil embellishments provides contrast and gives a sense of length to the groupings of embellishments.
We like to add 4-5 embellishments per card.
Next, attach an embellishment with foam adhesive for extra dimension.
How cute is the kitty in the stocking? He is perfect right in the middle of the card!
To finish your card add a sprig of holly to the right of the stocking, an embellishment and one of the included red bows.
This lovely card is just the thing for sending Merry Christmas wishes to someone this holiday season.
This lighthearted kit is great for Christmas and to evoke memories of holidays past. From the jolly Santa to the cheery stockings, you are going to love all of the wonderful ephemera in this kit.
Mix holly with all of the red and green elements for a festive card.
Fussy cut the background layers for a unique background every time.
Santa and a decked out tree are the perfect combo.
If you don't have this kit, then this week is the perfect opportunity to get it for yourself. Stash it in your desk at work or your craft room for a fun, fool-proof holiday card. Today's tutorial will be here for the next week; access all of the crafting you can imagine with your AG Membership. We are always adding new content, members only products, livestreams and more.
Love,
Anna

I love these kits they really are easy to assemble and have a beautiful card in minutes, there are times that I do not have time to sit down and make cards from scratch and these kits are fantastic to get a stunning and beautiful card done. Thank you, Anna and Team, for creating these kits for us. Everyone have a bless week and may God bless you and keep you all.
