So many fabulous Kit choices – Paper Pumpkin or those in the Kit Collection


One of my favorite product lines Stampin' Up! is excelling at is their kits. There are quite a few options but a favorite is Paper Pumpkin.  Each month we get a sneak peak of the coming kit. We all have an option of getting one each month or purchasing a pre-paid subscription.  I usually get a pre-paid during Sale-a-Bration so I earn free product at the same time. 

We have until the 10th of each month to opt in for the coming kit. That's tomorrow! This month it's the Sunshine & Smiles kit; it coordinates with the Rain or Shine suite in the current Jan-June mini catalog. 

They had offered a pair of die-cuts that match the stamps in this kit but they sold out.  

Opt in here to subscribe to monthly kits – remember you have full control of which kits you receive. Skip a month or cancel.  Or choose a pre-paid subscription here. When you get a pre-paid for 3 months or more you can choose free Sale-a-Bration choices too!  At least through February 28th.

You might not realize Stampin' Up! has an entire collection of kits in the online store.  They call it the Kit Collection.  


The photo above includes just some of the kits available!  See them all here.  These kits are all inclusive which means almost everything you need is included in the kit to complete them.  

I recently made the cards in the Saying Thanks kit and LOVE how they turned out!

You can see this kit here.  It is a non-stamping kit with 9 cards & envelopes.  It's just $13 and would make a fabulous gift!  Everything comes in this kit; I believe all you need is a scissors.  

Another new and exciting kit is the Wreath of Blooms kit. 

Everything you need to make this kit is includes but they do recommend hot glue to adhere the flowers to the wreath.  It's about 8" around and costs $13. See it here.  

You might also like to know that my favorite kits – the Birthday Organizer kit – is back and available again.  It was so popular they ran out.  

This photo includes my 'jazzed up' cover and a few extra cards I made for a kit to go. I have sold out of this kit now but you can still get the original kit from Stampin' Up! here. The full kit includes the card organizer and 12 birthday cards & envelopes for just $25.  

You can see it here.  It's another 'all inclusive' non-stamping kit that most people would love to organize their cards.

  • Christmas card swaps – fun layouts and fancy-fold cards


    I have lots of beautiful cards to share with you this week; all from my Flowerbug's Team swaps. You'll love the theme – 'to use glitz, shine or shimmer'. 

    This first card was made by Tracey.  I think we all love the fractured card layout! 

    If you want to learn how to make a fractured card here's a link to a video I did.

    Products used:

    • Walk in the Forest designer paper (2023 Holiday catalog) 
    • More Dazzle specialty paper (2023-24 Annual catalog) – 1/4" strips

    • Christmas Tidings embossing folder (Holiday catalog)
    • Stylish Shapes dies – for 1 7/8" Vanilla square

    ~~~

    Next is a neat interlocking gatefold card made by Candace. I'm not sure of the name of this fun fold but see how the circle die-cuts are entwined? One is adhered to each side of the front folds.  

    Products used:

    • Gift of Giving stamp set (2023 Holiday catalog)
    • Shining Christmas specialty designer paper ( was in the online exclusives; now sold out)
    • Stylish Shapes dies for circles (2023-24 Annual catalog)

    She added designer paper to the inside too!

    • Cherry Cobbler card base 11" X 4 1/4" score at 2 3/4" from each side.
    • Designer paper is 2 1/2" X 4" – 4 pieces; 2 for the front and 2 for the back

  • Beautiful Winter Meadow card; a great layout to use those extra pieces


    The Winter Meadow designer paper & the Magical Meadow stamp & dies bundle are among my favorites from the 2023 Holiday catalog. Pretty products produce pretty projects!  Say that three times! Ha! 

    I was playing with the designer paper and had these two pieces among the scraps in my paper pack. I simply added a layer of Blueberry Bushel card stock to one piece and added them to the White card base offset from each other for balance.  Easy peasy! 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
    • DSP 1 piece at 2 1/2" X 4" and 1 at 2" X 4 1/4"
    • Blueberry Bushel 2 3/4" X 4 1/4" 

    Of course the pretty dies help a lot too. The greeting label is from the Nested Essential dies seen here and the leaves are both from the Magical Meadow bundle seen here.  

    Next I added a greeting layer – heat embossed with Silver embossing powder & my Heat Tool.  Adding the White & Silver mesh ribbon in loops under it sure gives a great finishing touch! To add the loops of ribbon I created them and pressed them to the back of my greeting, after I added some Seal tape runner of course.  

    I saw that this beautiful Winter Meadow designer paper is in low inventory; grab it while you can here.
