Thursday is the last day; crazy Kits Collection BOGO deals!

Have you tried any of our current Kit Collection kits yet?  Check them out here ASAP. Tomorrow is the last day of the BOGO promotion.

I demo'd them on last week's Live so you could see how wonderful they are.  Click here to watch.  

How does the BOGO work? 

It's quite unusual in that the second kit at 50% off can be the more expensive one.    

Such as; buy one for $12 and get a second kit at $20-25 at half off!  Crazy but true!

The first kit I'm sharing is the Light the Candles kit seen here.  It includes everything you need to complete these 8 cards.

I love how bright & colorful this kit is and the dimensional strips are easy to use.  The cute glittery prints are quite eye catching. 

These kits are 'all inclusive' which means everything is supplied for you.  Many include the ink and stamps and others have pre-printed sentiments with no stamping needed. There's something for every taste or need.  Click here to see them all. 

The Robot Buddies kit is perfect for kids.  It has a neat robot stamp set in it and includes TWO ink spots! too.

Click here to see all of the 17 kits available!  Remember these change frequently.  If they run out of stock they usually come back. They say they'll be available (while supplies last) for a year after they're introduced.

  • Simple Direct to Paper Technique for quick gorgeous cards! Plus 6 ways to add ribbon! Video & free project sheet too!

    On last week's Live video I focused on the Most Adored specialty designer paper and shared the Direct to Paper technique and these gorgeous cards: 

    Mostly Adorned Direct to Paper technique.. Save

    Anytime we have designer papers with foil designs I think of this fun technique! It's basically rubbing or tapping your water based ink pad onto the designer paper. The ink soaks into the background but resists the foil designs. Simply wipe the excess ink off the foil with a tissue – done!

    Mostly Adorned direct to paper1 Save

    The colors above are Azure Afternoon and Pretty Peacock. Notice the different ribbon techniques and layouts. The left card has loops of ribbon added to the greeting label; the right has a simple fold of ribbon. 

    Each card has two main pieces – the designer paper is 3" X 4" and the layered, coordinating card stock is 3 1/4" X 4 1/4". Check out the different layouts with these basic pieces.  

    Mostly Adorned direct to paper 2 Save

    The left card above is Highland Heather and the right is Sweet Sorbet.  A few more examples of ways to add ribbon and change up this simple layout.  I added two thin strips of ribbon across the left card and tied a bow around the window frame on the right. 

    Remember this pretty specialty paper is available through February during Sale-a-Bration. It's free with any $50 Stampin' Up! purchase. See it here. 

    Keeping to a basic layout like this is a wonderful way to get a bunch of cards done quickly and use up your designer paper at the same time! I chose the Charming Sentiments stamp set for all of my greetings.

    The colors above are Copper Clay and Pebbled Path – 2 of our newest in colors.  Ribbon uses include a flag and a double bow.

    The free project sheet can be downloaded here: It's also a great reference for ways to add ribbon! Download Direct to Paper technique with 6 ways to add ribbon

    I hope you're inspired by the simply card idea, the technique and the 6 ways to add ribbon!  Watch the video below to see this technique in action!

  • More WOW swaps by my Flowerbug’s Team with measurements

    Okay; are you as amazed by this card as I am?!  Candace made this with the Submarine Life bundle.

    Feb Candace Sublime Save

    The bubble paper looks like it's printed but she made it! She stamped on her Pool Party card stock with Pool Party & White craft ink with the bubble image.  Incredible!

    I'm not positive of the many colors she used here but I know a few include Sweet Sorbet, Blueberry Bushel, Daffodil Delight & Old Olive.  She's a huge fan of the Beatles 'Yellow Submarine' so she had to get this bundle! 

    Measurements: 

    • Blueberry Bushel 8 1/8" X 5 1/4". Across the top, score at the 1 5/8" mark down to 1 5/8". Score at 3 3/8" down to 3 5/8". Score at 5" down to the bottom of the card. From the bottom side, score at the 6 1/2" up to 1 5/8". Now you'll make two cuts across the center two areas from the score lines.  
    • Pool Party large squares 3 1/4", small squares 1 1/2" X 2 for the bottom.  Top pieces are 1 1/2" X 1 3/4"
    • Back white is 3" X 3 3/8"
