The best part about this tag sheet is you receive the entire piece, so you can customize the cards as needed by using different pieces from it. You'll also receive an entire package of Kaiser Craft pearls, embellishments from Maya Road, Doodlebug and Imaginisce, and 3-D dimensional silver stars for the patriotic-looking card (also great for a summer birthday). Along with the materials needed to create the cards, you'll also receive detailed instructions and a color photograph of the samples.
