Gift Idea: Use a Kit to make a set of cards

 It's the season for giving. Do you have crafters or people on your list who love to send cards? Using a kit from Stampin' Up!® is a quick and easy way to make a set of cards. You can make the kit to give as a completed set or you can give the kit to those who would enjoy making it themselves. 

Explore the available kits here. There are kits that have stamping. There are non-stamping card kits with pre-printed greetings. And there are other types of kits that make decor pieces. 

Today I'm sharing the Handmade & Heartfelt Kit by Stampin' Up!®. It makes a set of 10 cards and a box that can sit on your desk. It holds the cards, envelopes and has space for stamps and pens. 

This kit comes with an ink spot, clear block and stamp set. The general greetings can be used on more cards that you design. 

I love the color scheme of this kit. The colors are Basic Beige, Crumb Cake, Lost Lagoon, Petal Pink, Secret Sea, Very Vanilla. The cards are great for a variety of occasions and recipients. Which card is your favorite?

Here's a close-up of all the different styles:

It's really hard to choose a favorite as they are all so different. I love the birthday banners, negative die cut design on the thinking of you card and the birds. 

Check out the Handmade & Heartfelt Kit. You can assemble it for the recipient or give the kit as a gift for the recipient to complete.  

I changed up the cards just a bit to suit my personal taste. You can watch the five cards and assembly of the box on my YouTube Channel. If you haven't subscribed to my channel, please do. Then you can see all my new videos when they post. 

This is perfect to sit on my desk and remind me to mail out cards. It has a place for my stamps too. As I use the cards, I can refill the 2 spots that house the cards. 

I recommend a few tools to make putting the kits together a bit easier- a stampin' pierce mat (this helps get a great stamped image with photopolymer stamps), a shammy to clean your stamps, a take-your-pick tool (this really helps with the glue dots and embellishments), a bone folder to get a crisp crease on your cards and a pair of crafting scissors. I have two pairs of scissors- one for paper and one for twine and ribbon. I also keep my shammy in a clear stamp case. These are available in my online store and come in a set of four. They can hold paper bits and embellishments too. You can find these items in my online store. 

Thank you for stopping by and checking out my project today! Please let me know in the comments which card is your favorite and if you have this kit.

Happy Creating,
