Card Kit Mania and Lots of Happy


This weekend we are having a Card Kit Mania class and I'm delighted to share the following picture of a Bonus Card that I designed for the person using this kit, Lots of Happy 146388, in the class. 


It's easy to create more cards with the supplies that you receive in this kit. There are so many vellum leaves to use with your cards. You can save out a few to create with. 

The stamp set is lovely. I used the floral images to stamp repeatedly across the bottom of this note card. Then I used the Watercolor pencils to color in the images - easy peasy!

I love the stamp set that comes with this kit. And this stamp set is exclusive to this kit. You cannot purchase it separately.





With a strip of patterned paper (I used the Butterfly Butterfly Designer Series Paper which is a Free item during Sale-a-bration) and a circular focal point for the greeting, you can create a lovely card!

Here is a video from Stampin' Up! which explains a bit more about this kit.



Remember that when you purchase all inclusive Card kits from Stampin' Up! you get all the supplies you need to make delightful cards. You can see how to use the blender pens with the Watercolor pencils. But of course, you can use a damp paint brush with these pencils as well.

Here's one more that I will be using for a bonus card at this Saturday's class.


More of that striped paper & water coloring. Hope you are inspired.

Don't forget - purchase $50 in Stampin' Up! product and get a free item from the Sale-a-bration catalog. Be sure to shop today!

Incredible Like You

This card kit, called Incredible Like You 148552, is delightful! 

Have you checked it out yet?
 It comes with all the materials needed to complete 16 cards.

 You just add the stamp set and the ink and glue or SNAIL. Have fun sending great cards to friends and family - they will love receiving these cards.


Add this coordinating Stamp Set 148708


and you will be inspired to create your own cards like this one.


Because the card kit features envelopes with coordinating liners, I decided to add a bit of coordinating paper on the flap of my envelope. I think that adds such a special touch - what do you think?

I love how the colors from the card kit work together to create a cheerful card. And the wonderful striped image in the stamp set is just the perfect touch. 

Did you notice - this kit comes with a unique storage envelope?  Aha! - now you may need to buy two - one to keep and one to give as a gift.



With the stamp set in hand and few of the colors (Coastal Cabana, Grapefruit Grove, Lovely Lipstick and Granny Apple Green, you can make some more fun cards with Whisper White Cardstock.

Create your own background paper like the one in this card.


You can keep it simple - just use Whisper White Cardstock and a bit of ribbon. 

Or you can bling it up with some card stock layers, gold glimmer paper and some fussy cut flowers. Either way, you will love using this stamp set.

Hope you got some inspiration today.

You're The Cat's Meow

One of my favorite stamp sets in the 2019 Occasions Catalog is the set called Nine Lives. If you like cats or have a friend or family member who likes cats, this set is a must.

1

It's a clever set that you will have fun working with. 



Here I have paired it with the Gingham Gala Designer Series Paper and Calypso Coral Card Stock. 




I used the new Rectangle Stitched Framelits to create the frame. 



The set works perfectly with the Cat Punch. 



But all of the stamped images face to the right UNLESS you create the reverse image. And that's exactly what I did using the Stamparatus and the Vinyl Mat. It's a simple technique and one that I will be demonstrating at my next card class.


This is the best time ever to shop with me - you can earn free product from the Sale-a-bration Catalog just by purchasing $50 worth of product. It's a win-win. Don't miss out on a great deal.
