The best celebrations are the ones we get to share with the people who helped make them possible.

That’s the idea behind the 18th Birthday Craft-Along Kit, a party-in-a-box created to celebrate the Crafty Friends who have shaped Taylored Expressions—and help you invite someone you love into the joy of cardmaking.

In today’s reveal video, Taylor is walking through everything included in the kit, from the exclusive Birthday Bonfire Layering Stencil and Celebrating You Rubber Stamp to prepped supplies for creating two complete birthday cards. You’ll also see the colorful embellishments, party favors, keepsakes, and other festive details carefully packed inside for you and a friend to enjoy together.

Then, bring your kit and your invited guest to our live Craft-Along Party on September 8 at 7 PM CT. You can follow Taylor’s featured colors or choose your own combination to create personalized birthday cake cards for anyone on your list.

The 18th Birthday Craft-Along Kit arrives Tuesday, August 25 at 9 AM CT. Let’s take a look inside the celebration!
