Hello, Make a Pretty Life friends!
Today, MaryFrances worked up 4 quick and easy cards using our April Kit! She’s written out the process to make it easy for you to create a stash of grab and go cards for your many needs!
The MAPL April kit is full of so many goodies that you can be crafting all month long. I find I am always in need of a birthday card, thank you or just a note card to send to a friend or give to my kids on the way to a bday party…. These cards made from the April kit work up so quickly and they barley use any supplies. They are flat enough to mail without extra postage and can really brighten someones day…the rain boot paper is just the cutest. You could make a bunch of these for your stash and be set for awhile.
