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.
