"Christmas Joy" ornaments kit was designed by Maria Stanziani and produced by Bucilla in 2005. It's a factory sealed kit and not a reproduction or second but does contain the gold/brown ink that can bleed. It contains stamped felts, cotton floss, color separated sequins and beads, 2 needles, tri-lingual instructions and directions for personalization. Everything you need to complete the 6 Christmas ornaments are in the kit except for the polyester filling or the filling of your choice.
To my knowledge, these are the last new ornament kits of this design available on any market.
Please check out the photos. There is a photo of the piece of white felt in the kit. I have also included some pictures of patterns if you want to change the felt without the goldish brown lines. Some of the earlier kits, both stocking and ornament kits, by Bucilla used the gold/light brown lines. In time the ink can bleed. Unfortunately this ink which was used in many kits during that time were lined in this ink. It is easily removed, and in most cases doesn't show on finished project, can be removed by dabbing with a wet cloth. Or you can flip the back side of the felt, which is excellent quality, and copy any affected pieces. I can include a patterns for the white pieces you have a problem with.
This kit is sold as it is.
This kit was shipped directly to me from Bucilla. It comes from a clean, smoke-free, pet-free environment which is also climate-controlled under UV/HEPA filtration. The colors in this stocking are jewel tones and the detail is very extensive. This makes a beautiful stocking when completed. There is more needlework and less beading than most of the kits.
