Look at these 2 awesome NEW kits available this month - especially if you love Halloween!

There are TWO AMAZING new kits released this week. The Haunted Home kit and the Christmas Wishes kit. 

(Note the item numbers and prices below the photos above.)

Here's a good view of this amazing Haunted Home kit. It's not really purple; that must be a special effect in the photo above.  

Isn't this adorable?!  There are tons of special details on this house!

It doesn't give a size in the description but the box is 10-1/2" x 8-1/2". It includes vellum for the windows so you can add battery lights inside for that spooky glow. You may need a hot glue gun to assemble. See it here.

And here are the details on the pretty Christmas Wishes card kit:

Details:

*Christmas Wishes Photopolymer Stamp Set
*Clear Stamp Block
*Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Spot

Get more cards in the Gorgeous Expressions of Kindness card kit

This stunning Expressions of Kindness card kit from our Kit Collection was released last month. I made time to play with it a few days ago and it's absolutely gorgeous! 

I liked the cards so well I wanted to make more than the 8 cards in the kit.  It's fun to figure out how to extend the beautiful prints on the cards and envelopes.  I decided to keep it simple and add extra card bases and leave the envelopes intact. 

See this kit here online: 

This first set of cards are almost exactly as the kit suggested except I saved the gold foil leaves for a different card.  There was enough ribbon to add a few knots on each of the above cards and still have enough for the rest of the 8 cards seen below. 

Below are all three individual cards I made. 

For the following two cards I cut the full printed card bases in half. I added 4 white card bases for the left card below. I felt the printed card with the gold foil accents was pretty enough for the ribbon & greeting image.  

For the card on the right above I cut down the card front to 4" X 5 1/4" and layered it onto 4 Blackberry Bliss card bases as seen below.  This is where I added the gold foil leaves with the greeting. 

You can see this beautiful kit here.  It's $23 and includes the 8 cards & envelopes, a stamp set, Blackberry Bliss ink spot, gems, White ribbon and adhesive.

Here's the stamp set included in this kit. The flower head fits on the purple flowers to add detail.

There are two more new kits released in July. Both are card kits - one geared for kids and the other a pretty floral kit.

Have you seen the clever Happy Houseplants kit?!

One of our most unique kits lately is the Happy Houseplant kit.  It includes 4 frames with everything you need to create adorable home decor!  

It's in our Kit Collection seen here and is all inclusive. That means it includes everything you need to create the 4 pieces of framed art all for just $25. They're 7" square when finished.

I think they're perfect to place in a hall, bathroom or a guest room.  Maybe near a real plant as a coordinating accent. 

A few tips on putting these together. The clear acrylic cover sheet has adhesive on both sides for protection.  Remove them before assembling. 

See how 3D they are?  I used a bone folder to curl the plants a bit. The kit comes with Dimensionals for adding an elevated look. 

Because the pre-cut plant layers are meant to be popped up for a 3D look I added foam adhesive strips seen here to the edges of my frame after I added the clear acrylic sheet. *don't look too close; I added the adhesive strips to the frame edges before I added the clear sheet and had to remove them!

I love the plants & pots this kit creates. What a beautiful set of home decor art! 

This kit would make a fabulous gift for someone who has a new home and needs art, someone who likes to craft but not collect, or someone who is redecorating.  

While you're shopping be sure to check out the rest of the kits in our Kit Collection here.

Texture Chic Memories & More cards are the perfect start to easy but beautiful cards or memory keeping. 

They were $10 and are now $4. The item # is 159201 and can be seen here. 

It includes 50 cards in two sizes and 4 sticker sheets.  They pair perfectly with the Texture Chic Memories & more cards & envelopes!

Gorgeous Abundant Beauty Kraft notecards with gift box

I was inspired by this set of cards & box by a project shared online. I changed up the colors to 'my' favorites and created this:

I absolutely LOVE the Abundant Beauty Decorative masks seen here! The sunflowers are my favorite of course, but I also used the houndstooth mask here as well. Unfortunately these masks are out of stock right now. They'll be back around November 13th. 

You might think I made this box but I sure didn't!  It's found on page 135 of our Annual Catalog. It includes 20 cards & 20 envelopes and one box for gifting cards in; all in Kraft paper.  The cards are notecard side which is 5" X 3 1/2". See it here online. 

As you can see in the photo below I used the houndstooth mask to add a soft background to each notecard.  I used a blending brush and Copper Clay ink.  

The sunflowers are made with Pretty Peacock ink and the leaves are Granny Apple Green on White cardstock. Yes; they are all fussy cut! I did some but my friend Pat did the rest for me; she loves to fussy cut things! 

The greetings are from the So Sincere stamp set from the 2023 Holiday catalog.  It's my favorite greeting set right now. See it here. 

 

You can see in the photo below that I added the houndstooth pattern to the entire box, inside & out.  Because it comes flat it's easy to do. 

I hope you're inspired by this project.  I'm not sure who will receive it yet, but it will be someone special!
