Hi There Creators Today I figured as it's holidays people might be looking for something quick and simple to take away, and what better than a kit?  This Painted Wishes kit is just gorgeous!  you get to create 9 cards from this kit and it's only $25 (check it out here: Painted Wishes Kit ) however just quickly...... The new mini and Sale-a-Bration catalogues have now started, so for every $90 of goodies you order you can pick for FREE from the Sale-a-Bration (SAB) offering, or why not think about joining Stampin' Up!?  you can get a bonus during SAB, so check it out here:  Join my Team . I'd love to have you in my team! 😊 I show off creating one of each of the cards in the video, and here they are..... Not sure you can tell from these photos but the writing is foiled in Pretty Peacock colour (one of my favourites).  Stampin' Up! do have a variety of different kits and I've always found the quality to be amazing, you can check out all the kits available here

 Hi There Creators, Well we're on the last week of August and the kits are still discounted, so I promise I'll move away from kits next week, but this "Million Thanks" is a lovely kit (currently this month reduced to $31.20 from $39), and you'll see you don't just have to stick to the kit!, especially as there are some extra bits in it, and you do get a stamp set & mini ink pad to continue creating with. (just think with a few different kits you'd end up with a few different ink pad colours, and a heap of stamps!), and Kits really are an amazing way to have a self-contained crafting session. Anyway on with the photographic evidence.....  here are the 3 cards types you make with this kit (which incidentally creates officially 9 cards)  As you can see they have clear embossing on them so the surface is shiny in places. I have also created this one using one of the spare labels and the piece that the heart pushes out from, then stamped using the little f

 Hi there Creators As August is Kit'tastic month (ie kits are reduced)  I figured it was high time to hop on and show off one of my latest kits, so here we go.. It's a Christmas kit called Cozy & Bright , I have liked the look of this kit for a while and did end up getting it for free at our recent Creative Collaborations Team event (woo hoo!) Discovered once I opened it in the video that it actually does 12 cards, which at the discounted August price of $32.80 is actually a bit of a bargain, especially as it includes an ink stampin spot, a stamp set and a block! Anyway I'm sure you're way more interested in seeing the creations that having me waffle! this is the main card the kit creates: then I cut one of the cards up to create 2 more cards.... This first one I've fussy cut out some of the greenery, then used some gilded leafing on the background (which is the back of the card cut down) I've added a layer of gold foil cardstock underneath.  to see all I&#

Hi There Creators Oh my goodness you need to get this kit!!  I have just scratched the surface of some of the things to use it for (other than making the 9 cards it's meant to make lol) Here is the link to check it out:  Colorful Kaleidoscope (yes colour is spelt wrong 🤣- it's an American thing)  Seriously amazing kit especially if you're prepared to add more cardstock, some extra ink colours and potentially sacrifice some of the intended cards. Anyway here are the "official" cards you can make with the kit (it comes with 3 of each)  Won't you just check out those envelopes!!  I reckon there's a card or two just by taking those apart 🤣 However when you are prepared to sacrifice a bit....... (admittedly they're not quite finished yet, still require sayings but you get the drift!) I used the reverse sides of the overlays as a mask, and they do turn out kind of pretty themselves! got to add bling!   If you're careful with them you can turn them back

 Hi there Creators, Today I thought I'd show off another new Kit I received although the kit isn't new, I have only just got round to buying it😁  Gee Stampin' Up! make some beautiful kits!  This one Light the Candles is one that contains ink and a stamp set too, so you can really go to town and make extra cards with a little bit of extra cardstock. Here are the cards the kit actually makes: the candles are lovely and glittery (I don't think it shows up well in the photos) This kit only makes up 2 different cards, but you get 4 of each so 8 cards in total, and as the purchase price for the kit is $33 it would make the cards $4.13 each, but wait..... You can split up the candles from the top card..... and because both base cards have the pattern on the front and back you can split them up too, add your own base cards and voila! the only things I added that weren't from the kit were the base cards ( thick basic white cardstock used), and the bling, I've used som

 Hi there Creators Today we're checking out this new kit that's been released, Oh my gosh it's gorgeous, and I created an extra card using some of the left overs.  And I worked out that the kit is $23 for 9 cards, so each card is only $2.56!!!  and that's not including the left overs and the box itself, what a bargain. Check out (and maybe purchase) the kit here:  Saying Thanks Kit Here are the cards I made: The top 3 are directly as the kit tells us to do them, then I get creative with the left overs 😍 there are a heap of little white hearts that get punched out of the 2nd card, so these, I've stacked and glued together to get little 3D hearts, then covered them with versamark and gold heat embossing powder and (carefully) heated them, to melt the embossing powder, I was thinking they'd look really cute on a present, especially with the white twine loops, but chances are by the time I'm wrapping up a presy I'll forget I've got them, so figured they

 Hi there Creators, This week I'm showing off one of our new kits, "The Best Remedy".  I pre-made up one of each of the cards, but figured that it would be good to try something different with each. I've deliberately stuck to using only what was in the box to make these cards, and switched around the parts to create 3 different cards, I hope it gives you an idea that you don't have to stick to exactly what's recommended. Here are the cards that the kit recommends: Then these are the cards I popped together to change things around:  I love the matching envelopes 😊 I tried out the little ice cream stamp on this card: I actually had meant to stamp some extras onto this card (and remembered after I stuck it together)  typical!  Ah well next time 🤣  So I stamped the little flower vase onto a scrap of the left over card, and cut that out instead. In case you missed the video here it is 😃 I hope this inspires you to do something a little different with your kits..
