January Kit Cards - Simple & Cute!

Every month when I am designing the Kit Cards for the ladies, I try so hard to keep it simple. Sometimes I fail and the cards have too many parts, but not in January!  It was the overall consensus that the cards were perfect!!  Simple & Cute, just the way the ladies like them!!  If you would like to get in on the fun, the cards are available as a Kit and can be ordered just by getting in touch with me.  You have your choice to make one each of five designs, total of five cards; you can make two each of five designs for a total of ten cards or the whole kit of making three each of the five designs for a total of fifteen cards.

Stampin' Up! policy prevents me from prestamping them for you but I list the stamp sets used for each card and you can purchase that stamp set from Stampin' Up! or you can substitute.
