As soon as I saw it, I HAD to get the Hello Hollyhocks kit. The colors and flowers are gorgeous, but I also really love that everything I need to make 9 cards is in the box. That’s A LOT of fun for only $14. I veered away from the kit instructions and whipped up this cute alternative with just a few supplies from my stash. Grab a kit and Let’s Kit Together on the last Tuesday of the month on Zoom.
