A Creative "Magnolia Lane" Package With Tremendous VALUE

What an amazing duo the Magnolia Lane Memories & More Cards 149554, and the beautiful Magnolia Lane Large Cards & Envelopes pack 149487 (both on pg. 171) make. What CAN'T you do with these!? Talk about VALUE! $15 for the cards $17 for the envelopes - $22 +s&h for 20 fully complete cards!

You get 20 large cards with foil accents, 20 large envelopes, again with foil accents AND beautiful floral paper liners (hint - you can trim 3" off of these and get 20 additional 3" x 5" floral mattes, and still have enough to line the visible part of the envelope inside.) The M&M Cards pack comes with 50 double sided decorative cards, ready to apply - 6 printed vellum sheets - and 4 sticker sheets.

My Dinoroar designer series paper arrived this week, and I was excited to try some Birthday card designs for kids.

I can see how this suite could be used in a hundred ways to make lots of variation - so if you have lots of little ones in your family, I'd think about investing in this suite.
