July Class Schedule at Eclectica

Eclectica Kit Craze - July Card Kit



July's card kit is filled with cards that are perfect for so many occasions! First up, a "best wishes" card, perfect for an anniversary, wedding or any special occasion. The kit then includes materials to make two general-use cards. One that says "lovely" and another that says "I'm lucky to have you in my life." So sweet! Finally, the group is rounded out with a masculine "celebrate" card. Because you'll receive an entire set of Basic Grey sentiment stickers, you can mix, match and change up the sentiments as desired. With papers and embellishments by Basic Grey, Echo Park, October Afternoon, Simple Stories, Maya Road, Jillibean Soup and The Twinery, your kit will include everything needed to recreate the four cards shown. Plus, we include a color photograph of the samples and a detailed instruction sheet. 

Note: Our card kit continues to sell out with a wait list each month. If you're on our reserved list, you have three days from when we call you to pay for your kit (either by phone or in store). After three days, any leftover kits get put on the shelf. If you want one of these "leftover" kits, be sure to come into the store in a few days or give us a call so we can reserve one for you. If you'd like to be put on our reserved list permanently, please call and let us know. You are under no obligation to purchase the kit each month.
