Oriental Card Making Kit

We've put a kit together containing materials for making Oriental cards.  As people may already have Oriental stamps and inks, we've only included papers and embellishments but we do have Oriental stamps to buy separately. 

The kit contains some of the embellishments in the Oriental section on our website and is a taster set for them. You can purchase any extra items if you wish to add to the kit later.

The kit is good value as there is more than £14 worth of materials included:


4 x A4 sheets of different Oriental patterned paper (normally £4)
1 x A4 sheet of red card
2 x metres of red eyelash cord
2 x gold cards and gold envelopes with die cut patterns
3 x Oriental playing cards
3 x large style stones (normally 80p)
3 x small style stones (normally 80p
2 x red knot embellishments
2 x blue knot embellishments
2 x lengths of mitzuhiki cords (normally £1)  An instruction sheet is included to help you make 2 different styles of Oriental knots, it also gives brief details of stamping onto style stones
1 x pack of 10 large Oriental brass coins (normally £2.99)
1 x double happiness brass coin (normally 50p each)
2 x square brass coins (normally 40p each)
2 x large brass fan coins (normally 50p each)
1 x red oriental tassel

Paper template and instruction sheet to make an Oriental lantern.

DT members Michelle Marshall and Janet Clarke have made some cards using the kit and some of the other items from our Oriental section on our website (HERE), including some stamps you'll find there, to give you some ideas.  Some of the cards are below, I'll show more tomorrow.

Thank you for making these Janet and Michelle, they are lovely!

Have a good Sunday everyone
