I create cardmaking kits and designer resource sets and make them available as cheaply as I can. I now have my very own store and can now offer many items at a permanently discounted price. Best of all, there's no minimum spend, ever!

For this challenge, I'm offering an extra 10% off my already discounted stock.
All moved stock is permanently discounted and there's a massive new set available, now!

Just use "APTTCOCTOBER24" at checkout! 

You can follow my public Facebook page here, where I always announce my newest sets as they become available.

You can also follow my Pinterest Board to keep up with all my sets as they go live.

And, you can also follow my Facebook profile page to see all my creations.
There's no minimum spend over on my store. And, if you ever want a custom design made, contact me and I'll do what I can to help you out.
