Sunday Share - Time to Light The Candles Kit Style!

I was catching up on making cards for our grandkids to have on hand instead of having to rush out to the dollar store at the last minute - and I grabbed the fabulous Light The Candles Card Kit from our Kits Collection online. I took it camping with me because it has all I needed to make the cards without bringing a lot of extra supplies . . . perfect for small spaces!!

Look at the cool greetings in the stamp set - I know I will be using those stamps on lots of cards now that I I have opened my box! 

I really liked the colours in this kit - so bright and cheerful - they will make a great addition to the birthday box they keep on hand for their card giving. 

Did you try our kits yet?? They are so much fun to make and easy to take along for some down time relaxing or crafting with family and friends. You can click here to check out all the kits currently in stock! 

Do you make cards to share with anyone in your family like I do? Or do you make and send them out so someone gets happy mail? 

Whatever you do with your cards, I hope you are sharing them so someone is smiling and saying thank you for thinking of me . . . watch for a fun project coming in my newsletter on Wednesday!! Sign up if you haven't already so you keep up to date on my stamping world!

Happy stamping!

Sunday Share - Getting a Head Start on Festive Tags and Cards

Once the calendar flips over to the fall months, I know it's time to start planning how I will make all the cards and tags I want to have on hand for the holiday season ahead.  And I don't want a lot of stress while I work on projects, so making use of some of the shortcuts Stampin' Up! provides (like this all inclusive kit) is definitely on my list!!

When I saw the Festive Tags kit (#162485) my first thought was "Wow that's a lot of tags" and then I immediately thought - why not use them or some of them - on card bases to get quick and fancy cards in a flash? 

So that's what I'm doing with my kit that just arrived - I haven't had a chance to make any yet but you can be sure I will!! The price is great at only $18.00 for 15 tags (or card embellishments) so you can't beat that for a bargain!! Look at all you get in the box in the picture below!!

The kit includes:

Enough supplies to create 15 gift tags—3 each of 5 designs

Printed tags, printed die cuts and stickers, adhesive, and embellishments

Includes printed sentiments in English, French, German, and Dutch

Finished tag size range: 1-1/2" x 2" to 2-1/2" x 3"

Coordinating colors: Basic Black, Flirty Flamingo, Garden Green, Lost Lagoon, Pool Party, and Real Red

Watch the video as Sara shows us how to make up the kit - fun times!! 

Shop my online store for kits, or all your crafting supplies at this link - and remember the new Holiday Mini will be out on Wednesday, September 6th so be ready to shop!!  I put the picture at the top of this post so you know what to look for!! 

I have more catalogues here for pick up or drop off and I did mail them to my regular out of town customers. 

Happy stamping!

Sunday Share - Colour Inspiration For You!

Our Annual Catalogue is filled with inspiration as well as many new and favourite products - take a look through the pages and I know many of the designs will catch your eye.  Did you know that in the papercrafting world it's totally ok to copy someone's design and make it your own?  Just give credit to the original designers by saying "this card made by xxx inspired me" or something like that . . . . and it's all good 😉💕

Today's card is a CASE (Copy and Share Everything or Copy and Selectively Edit) card from p 102/103 using the Gorgeously Made Bundle (it's really well named!!) and the Masterfully Made Papers, part of the same collection.  I have to share some pictures of the DSP so you can see the detail - the artists at Stampin' Up! made it look like it's torn layers - such a cool idea!!  If you want this paper for your crafting then you can click here to start your shopping list! When you click on any DSP product in my store, you can flip through each of the papers for a good look at each design!! 

The third sheet is a gorgeous watercolour scene and would be perfect for a scrapbook layout as well as backgrounds for some stunning cards!

The card I chose to CASE is in the middle of p 102 and I changed the colour palette to this group of colours:

Here's the first card that I made as a Thank You card . . . . using a couple of the Dies which made the lower edge look torn, and the top edge look like I torn it out of a notebook - both dies are great to have in your stash for extra creativity when you need it! The rest of the stamping layer is all stamping! 

and here's the other one as a birthday card.  I added some of the Adhesive Backed Sequins to the cards  - they are a perfect match to the Berry Burst hits of colour that I stamped. The folded ribbon is Bubble Bath - such a soft pinky/lilac. The greeting is stamped in Berry Burst onto a die cut from the bundle - it looks like it's been torn at the ends! 

I don't know about you, but I always need lots of both these cards ready to send to my family and friends so they will be going in my box. Check my newsletter mid week for more inspiration with these same colours!

Remember that your Bonus Day coupons can be redeemed all this month - and what better way to use them that by getting in on the Kits Sale that is on until August 31st.  

Need any products that I didn't mention or ready to get your list going?  You can shop my online store anytime and use my current Host Code K6ZDA4MD if your order is under $200 so I can include you in my month end draws and send my thank you to you.

Sunday Share - Our Kits Collection Make Great Road Trip Partners!

Happy Long Weekend – wherever you are I hope you are enjoying some good weather and time with family and/or friends – relaxing and recharging your way!! We are taking it easy and getting together with friends and family a couple of times for BBQ on the deck or eating out - a nice way to relax in our sunny weather.  Here’s some happy long weekend news for you!

For the entire month of August you can save up to 30% on amazing kits from the Kits Collection by Stampin’ Up! What are you waiting for? Start shopping and crafting now LOL! 

Follow the link in the picture above to choose your kits.  They are perfect for on the go projects and you will make enough cards that you won’t need to hit the $$$ stores anytime soon for those last minute needs.   This is a limited time offer you won’t want to miss.

Sales Period: August 1 -31st. The sale only applies to the Kits Collection by Stampin’ Up! (it does not include Paper Pumpkin kits).

Here’s a couple of the benefits of our kits (besides those awesome Kits Sale prices in August):

“I don’t have space for a lot of stuff!” Here’s the thing - kits are fun, quick and easy, and all-inclusive so there’s nothing extra to buy and nothing to store afterward.

“I’m not crafty” – well guess what?? After you try one of our kits, you’ll be singing a different tune!  Completing one of our kits for the first time will give you a real sense of artistic accomplishment – and if it’s not your first kit then you KNOW it’s going to be fun and fabulous!

“I’ve got nothing to do”.  Kids love the sense of accomplishment from creating their own cards and when they give them to a friend and can proudly say “I made this” there will be smiles all around!

"I need a hostess gift in a hurry!"  Completed kits make great gifts. You can make the projects and then gift them for someone else to use. Because kits come in so many styles and project types, there’s something for everyone. I’ve got a couple on the go right now that I make for my grandkids to use - usually we make them together but with moving and settling into our new place, we haven't done our normal travelling. .

Need more ideas – check out my store here and Facebook page too or message me for help with your project! Remember when you order online to use my current Host Code K6ZDA4MD when your order is under $200 to get in my month end draws – you never know when you could be the next winner! July’s winners of a package of Thick Basic White Cardstock each were April and Mary 😉. 

And if you earned Bonus Days Coupons in July then you can spend them anytime in August - don't let them expire!! They are easy to add to your order - cut and paste from your email to your order where it says "Manage Coupons".  

Happy stamping!
