From retro-cool typewriters and vintage cameras to whimsical butterflies and lush floral clusters, the design possibilities for your stationery are endless.

To show you the incredible cardmaking potential of this kit, the talented Jeanne Jachna has created a stunning gallery of inspiration. Whether she’s layering "big hugs" on a clipboard-themed card or using a vintage typewriter to say "focus on the good," Jeanne’s work highlights how the kit’s unique ephemera can turn a simple piece of cardstock into a work of art.

In this month's kit, cardmakers will love:

  • Versatile Sentiments: "Hello," "Happy Day," and "Just a Little Note" pieces that work for any occasion.

  • Iconic Embellishments: Mini clipboards, pencils, and butterflies that add the perfect focal point to A2 cards.
