Annie’s CardMaker Kit-of-the-Month Club November 2019 Review
The theme of this month's CardMaker Kit is “Elegant Yule”. Now that it's mid-November, I am starting to get into the holiday spirit and this card kit will definitely help!
Each month, Annie's teaches you a new card technique. Last month, we learned how to use watercolors on to make some beautiful cards. This month, we'll learn a technique called “Layering”.
Here is the cover of the info booklet.
The info booklet tells you what materials you need, and also has detailed instructions on how to assemble each card.
For this kit,you'll need the CardMaker took kit (which comes with your first kit), a ruler, scissors or paper cutter, adhesive, adhesive glue dots (or tacky glue), and adhesive foam dots.
Our favorite paper cutter is this Fiskars Rotary Trimmer and favorite adhesive to use is Tombow Mono Adhesive Applicator.
You'll get all of the dimensions needed to cut the cardstock and paper to size.
The color photos help with card assembly in case you are a visual learner. 🙂
Now, let's get on to see what materials are in this kit!
Holiday Cut-Outs, Red and Green Suede Paper, and Patterned Paper
We forgot to turn the patterned paper around, so it looks white here (oops!).
Embossed and Scalloped Edged Cards
Here's a closer look at this beautiful edging already done for you!
Envelopes and Paper Doilies
Holiday Self-Cling Rubber Stamps
Organza Ribbon, Satin Ribbon, Buttons, Evergreen Sprigs, Tassels
Card #1: Happy Holidays Card
This is our completed first “Happy Holidays” Card.
These were the materials that were needed to assemble this card.
Once we cut out the paper according to directions, we just layered everything onto the card using adhesive.
I really love the gold buttons and tassel that was on this card! It was really quick and easy to make, but it looks elegant and classy.
We used the “Happy Holidays” self-cling rubber stamp to create a greeting on the inside of the card.
Card #2: “Wishing You Peace…” Card
This is our completed “Wishing You Peace & Love At Christmas & Always” Card.
These were the materials needed for this card.
I really liked using the paper doily, green suede paper, organza ribbon to create dimension and interest on this card. The evergreen sprigs were also a unique, festive element on this card!
Here's another look at the completed cards. One card has a different twist!
We added the “May the miracle of Christmas fill your home with love.” stamp to the inside of the card.
Here you can see two of our cards with the stamped greeting inside the cards.
Card #3: Holiday Greetings Card
This is the finished “Holiday Greetings” Card.
Here are the materials that are needed to assemble this card.
This card has a majestic look with the gold paper ribbon cutting down the center.
Don't you just love these?
Card #4: Merry Christmas Card
Our last card was this “Merry Christmas” Card.
This card used layered suede paper (which is so soft!) along with holiday cutouts.
Per the instructions, we also added the gold pearls to the scalloped edge of these cards.
These cards are so festive looking!
In Summary
The “Elegant Yule” holiday card kit set from Annie's helped my daughter and I make beautiful, handmade cards easily and quickly. These cards took us a total of 45 minutes to put together, and helped get her off of screen time, too! The suede and patterned paper was of high quality, and the embellishments were unique and made the cards stand out.
I'm now ready to give these cards out to family and friends to spread some holiday cheer!
