Introducing Make it Market Kit: Fairy Tale Christmas

The next Make It Market Kit, “Fairy Tale Christmas” will be released tomorrow, October 1st. Betsy’s big holiday kit is one of the most highly anticipated releases for our customers each year. Each and every piece has been thoughtfully designed and selected to give you an endless amount of design options as you prepare for the holidays.

Welcome to the enchanted world of Fairy Tale Christmas, where snowflakes sparkle, and children’s laughter fills the air as Santa’s sleigh is seen dashing through the sky.  A place where Christmas wishes come true.  The Fairy Tale Christmas kit is filled with everything to make your holiday paper crafting dreams come true.  Dive into making cards, wraps, miniature book-boxes to hold gift cards, or create adorable book-shaped tags.  Create shaker details and ornaments, filled with sparkling snow, and intricate diecuts.  And the story doesn’t have to end after the holidays have passed!  Use many of the elements from this kit for everyday occasions throughout the year.  You’ll feel like Cinderella without having to leave the ball! 

As in years past, we will be offering two separate kits, one full of the essential tools (main kit) and one with fun extras (trimmings kit).
