Looking for a fun activity to break up these long, cold, winter days and have some fun with your friends! I have the perfect idea. not a lot of prep, except to invite your besties over, maybe make a few snacks, I bring the rest. (Local area only please, at least until I get my own motorhome!) Stampin' Up! has a wonderful project kit, called Birthday Bright. (Pg 13 in the Occasions catalog) It has all the fixings to make 12 beautiful cards, 4 cards of 3 designs, and 12 gift tags. It also comes with the envelopes and a beautiful box to stor e them in. You could make one kit for yourself or share it and make it with a friend. I've attached a photo what is in the kit. Or go to YouTube and watch the video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WXuwmnC-oc&t=457s   Images © Stampin' Up! Don't delay, the kit is only available until March 31.
