Beautiful By the Bay card kit; stunning designer paper!

This gorgeous By the Bay specialty designer paper is amazingly beautiful!  It has gold and glossy accents on one side of each page.  

It was my top choice for a January card kit; it's incredibly pretty and not just for beachy themes.  Below you'll see the 10 cards featured in my By the Bay card kit to go.

Do you know about our Kits Collection?  It features many types of kits; perfect for all kinds of crafters.  They're also a wonderful gift to give since everything but a scissors is included.  

Some feature ink and stamps and others are ready to assemble with pre-printed greetings.  You can see them all here.  

Stampin' Up! recently added three new kits. 

This first kit is called Saying Thanks starts today and includes 9 colorful cards with envelopes.  See it here.

Below are all of the elements in the kit.  It's a non-stamping kit; everything is printed for you.  It's perfect for quick cards or a gift! 

This kit includes: 

• Enough supplies to create 9 cards—3 each of 3 designs—and 9 coordinating envelopes.
• Printed die-cut words, precut pieces, and enough adhesive to complete projects.
• White baker's twine and iridescent diamond sequins.
• Finished card size: 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" (14 x 10.8 cm).
• Coordinating colors: Basic Black, Daffodil Delight, Gorgeous Grape, Granny Apple Green, Poppy Parade, Tahitian Tide.

The second is called Timeless Greetings seen here.  It's great for anyone but perfect for guys. Sometimes it's difficult to make men's cards....  

Below is the stamp set that's included in this kit.  The cost is $21.   

This kit includes:
* Timeless Greetings photopolymer stamp set
* Acrylic stamp block
* Soft Suede ink spot
* Pre-designed projects
* Step-by-step instructions
* Precut pieces (No prep work! Get right to crafting)
* Makes 8 cards: 4 each of 2 designs
* Folded card size: 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" (14 x 10.8 cm)

Here's another kit they just added; it's called the Love Treats kit. Here's the link to it:

This kit includes the following:

• 20 treat boxes measuring 3" x 2" x 15/16" (7.6 x 5.08 x 2.3 cm)
• One photopolymer love-themed stamp set
• One Basic Gray Ink Spot
• Different die-cut stickers with heart designs
• Coordinating colors include Petal Pink and Soft Succulent

Stampin' Up! just posted their Paper Pumpkin 'year in review' video.  Here's a link to it.  

 

Heads up on getting Paper Pumpkin kits:  If you want to get something free with purchase I highly recommend you order a pre-paid subscription during Sale-a-Bration.  For every $50 - 100 you spend you get free choices from the SAB catalog.  So opt in January 5th - February 28th and get even more!

Kindest Gnomes 'Fancy Feet' card; so cool!

We made this FUN Gnomes card at my December card clubs.  I also shared it on my Tuesday FB Live here.  

You might ask, why is it fun?  Well the gnomes feet wiggle.  I call them 'fancy feet'.  It features the Kindest Gnomes bundle.  Unfortunately the stamp set has sold out. The dies are carrying over into January because we are getting a NEW Gnome stamp set in the Spring catalog. It will coordinate with the current Gnomes dies. See the dies here. 

Here's what the inside of the card looks like.  I used the Joyful Flurry stamp set.  I like that this stamp set has greetings for winter or New Years. 

Below is the back of the assembled gnome and shows how the swinging feet work.  The 'nose' is cut from a small rectangle of Blushing Bride and that oval is how you 'hang' the feet so they swing.  It's not adhered at all. This entire piece is adhered to the Designer Paper layer; it's adhered with just two Dimensionals.  

Isn't it fun!  I hope you watch the video to see how easy this is to make.  Even if you don't have the gnomes set I'm sure you could make something else 'swing' like a greeting or other critters. 

This card is included in one of my December card kits to go featuring the Storybook Gnomes designer paper.  This kit has sold out now; but you can see others in my shop here. 

Which one do you like better?  

Here's the video; click on the image below to watch it.

I was thrilled with the Birthday Card Organizer kit Stampin' Up! created and knew it would be super popular.  I was right; they are now out of stock.  It will be available again; but we don't know when. 

I ordered a bunch of these kits and have jazzed it up for a kit to go this month.  

The basic Birthday Organizer kit includes the card organizer (it has 12 months & 14 pockets for cards), adhesives, adhesive-backed sequins & everything needed to make 12 cards & envelopes. 

I'm adding 4 bonus cards & envelopes, a spool of Sahara Sand ribbon and all pre-cut pieces needed to complete the design element on the front of the card organizer.

In the PDF tutorial you'll also see a few alternate designs for the 2 card designs included in the base kit. Of course it also includes instructions for the bonus cards and design element on the front. This PDF is sent to you immediately after payment via email. 

To complete this organizer and cards as shown you’ll need the following products: 

• Stamps – Biggest Wish, Peaceful Moments (or other greetings)
• Ink – Black, Soft Succulent, Petal Pink

Click here to reserve yours; supply is limited!  The cost is $32 plus shipping.

From the North Pole bonus card; so cute! Refills are available!

I had time to play with the latest Paper Pumpkin kit this weekend - From the North Pole.  From the hint they gave us beforehand I knew the tags would be cute! 

If you don't like or need tags, they can easily be changed into Christmas cards.  This kit is available in a refill for just $11 while supplies last. The refill kit does not include the stamp set or ink spot and is only available to current Paper Pumpkin subscribers.  Here's a link to it.  

Each month I send my subscribers AND my Team alternate projects using elements in the latest Paper Pumpkin kit.  I share lots of ideas for bonus cards or scrapbook ideas.  

Here's one of my projects using the 'From the North Pole' kit:  

I always enjoy stamping my own background; the candy cane & dot are stamps from the kit.  I used Sweet Sorbet and White Craft ink. I added the card base and the two card stock strips - the Mint layer is textured with the Gingham embossing folder.  Everything else is from the kit. 

Another bonus product available to current PP subscribers are these awesome Good Things cards and envelopes seen here:

It includes 20 cards, 5 each of 4 designs &20 matching envelopes - all for just $10!  You must be a current subscriber to get these.  There are perks to subscribing!  These coordinate with the upcoming Good Things come in Small Packages kit - it's filled with gift card boxes.  Cut off date to receive this kit is December 10th.
