KITS COLLECTION

•  Do you want to create cards quickly? 
• Are you taking a trip away and want to do a little crafting along the way?
• Do you have a crafting friend that would love a crafty gift? 
• Are you a volunteer and need craft ideas?

Stampin" Up! have created heaps of kits and I'm sure there will be one that suits your purpose

Here are a few that may interest you, if you want to see all the kits, then head over to my Online shop.

Let me show you some of the kits...

A Little Smile Card Kit makes 8 cards and you get to keep the stamp set and the ink pad. It also has the acrylic block, how good is that?

 

For the Guys Card Kit will suit for making masculine cards. I don't know about you but many people have trouble coming up with male cards. It covers everything Father's Day, Birthdays, Anniversary and so many more sentiments. I recon this is a great kit.

No Matter the Weather Card Kit is a cute kit, I love the gumboots and the speckles are very handy for all sorts of cards. I love this kit.

This is my favourite, The Sentimental Rose Card Kit has sentiments for all occasions and isn't the flower just gorgeous.

So there you go, a few of the kits, there are so many more. Some of the kits do not come with stamp sets, acrylic blocks or ink pads. All of the above do.

CASE = Copy and Share Everything

Isn't this clever? Who loves looking at others ideas, I know I do.

Stampin" Up!s concept artist did just that by CASEing the It’s Your Birthday card three different ways. She created the Catching Butterflies card by using the Highland Heather Stampin’ Write Marker to make a striped background. 

Pro Tip: try making your lines thicker or thinner by doing more or fewer marker strokes.

Just CASE the colour scheme from the It’s Your Birthday card to create our Driving By card (Gray Granite, Just Jade, Pale Papaya, and Pool Party—it’s a great colour combination for any occasion)!

 This card is a great reminder that you don’t have to copy every detail exactly to make a great card.

Need help with the layout of your next card? Look no further than the Awesome Otters card. Our concept artist CASEd the layout from the It’s Your Birthday card by die cutting a few Tailor Made Tags and stacking them on one another. So cool!

Do you love these cards. You can get these stamps FREE during Sale a Bration

Same same but different

 I love making a card then using the same design, change the look just by using a different stamp or Designer Series Paper

This Christmas card I used the Tailored Tag Punch to punch out the Expressions in Ink Specialty Designer Series Paper.

This Christmas card I used the Tailored Tags Punch again to punch out the Forever Green Designer Series Paper.

Same design and yet they look so different

Stampin' Up! LAST CHANCE SALE and Retiring Items

 

The 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue will be coming in June, and to make way for all the lovely new products that is coming with it, it's time to say goodbye to some favourites! Stampin" Up! have now put up their Last Chance list of items that will either be retiring or will no longer be bundled in the next catalogue.

Note Card Box

 After being asked to show how to make different styles of boxes, I then created a box to hold our Note Cards and envelopes.

The box was decorated using the Dandy Garden DSP. I managed to get 3 items out of one piece of 6" x 6" DSP. I cut 1^1/2" off the bottom and then cut the remainder in half. One half I decorated the lid of the box the other half went on the front of a note card. The 1^1/2" strip was cut in half and adheared top and bottom to another note card. I then added the sentiment strip in the centre.

BOX BASE - Start with a 9^3/8”x 7^7/8” piece of card.
1. Box Base - Start with a 9^3/8”x 7^7/8” piece of card. 

 2. On the long side score at 1”, 2” , 7^3/8”, 8^3/8”, 

 3. Turn to short side and score 1”,2”, 5^7/8”, 6^7/8” 

4. Cut up each corner to the second score line, you will be cutting a L shape out of each corner, leaving a tab. 

5. Fold on all the score lines, to make a crisp edge and assemble by tucking the corner tabs in and folding the edges over the tab. Repeat this on each edge, the tabs tucked in on each side. 

 6. BOX TOP - Start with a 9^1/2”x 8” piece of card. On the long side, score at 1”, 2”, 7^1/2”, 8^1/2”, Turn to short side and score 1”,2”, 6”, 7” Follow the cutting and folding instructions for the box base assembly. Decorate as desired.
