6 Sheet Card Kits For Only AU$2.50!
In these kits you get an A4 image of the final card, a sheet of decoupage items for you to 3D onto the card, 2 or sometimes 3 co-ordinated backing papers, digital ribbons, digital brads and everything also sized at A5 and ready for you to print
at home, cut out and assemble into a fabulous card! All of the elements in the supplied card front are separately printed on the sheets so you can either make the card as shown, OR you can apply your own creativity
and arrange into your own unique layout. Just click on Card Front Kits in the left menu to view all of the kits. The image shown are just a sampler and do not
show the 6 pages that come in every kit. NOTE These sheets are supplied as 6 JPG format files that YOU print at home (glossy photo card stock is recommended for best results). You can print them as many times as you want and make the
cards again and again - or rearrange the elements of the card and make many different cards from the same kit. On receipt of payment the files are EMAILED to you in a ZIP file. (You can download Winzip here
http://download.cnet.com/WinZip/3000-2250_4-10003164.html if you don't already have it.)
