It is a phenomenal special with everything you need to create 24 beautiful, handmade cards: 24 pre-printed card bases with envelopes, die-cut circles for sentiments, 8 exclusive M-size stamp sets, a 2"x2" acrylic block, an Archival Black mini pigment ink pad -- all packed in a My Acrylix Mini Stamp Organizer.
Some of you already ordered it at the Open House, but I wanted to give one more reminder for everyone else to have a chance to get the kit before it is gone. And... I wanted to share some ideas for what to do AFTER you've made all your cards from the kit. The stamp sets included are delightful and easily adaptable to standard size cards.
For the cards, I also used prints from some of our new fundamentals creative papers: Whimsy, Adventure, and Enchantment on most of the cards. So gorgeous and easy to use!
For this card, I lightly sketched a line to help me stamp the floral bouquet stamp across evenly and easily. Then I simply colored in the flowers, attached the paper overlaying the love sentiment, and adhered the White Shimmer trim. Next I stamped the "love you" sentiment from the Happy To Be Friends set.
With this card, I cut out a message bubble from the Artistry collection. I stamped the "you are special to me" sentiment inside. I colored the word special and added a few heart punches as accents.
I attached the diagonal striped pattern on the bottom of the card, and added a few black "stripes" with cardstock. Then I stamped the "kindness changes everything" sentiment in the top left, colored in the word changes and adhered a few sequins as accents.
With this card, I used the Wreath stamp as a frame. Then I stamped the floral hello stamp inside the wreath, and notched the end like a banner. I carefully colored everything in, then added a lovely shimmer with our new Shimmer Brush. Love it!!! Finally finishing off the card with some White & Gold ribbon.
It's really hard to see the shimmer in the full shot, so here is a close-up. Hopefully it can be seen better here.
This card is using a few of our new colors: Tangerine, Pansy and Willow. I stamped "thank you" from the Short & Sweet set inside the circles on the patterned paper. Then I stamped a leaves background, using one of the stamp sets included with the new Flower Market collection on the Willow cardstock strip. I masked the "smile" sentiment and stamped only the flowers on the circle, colored everything in, then attached the colored circle to a scalloped circle. The colors turned out so bright and pretty -- much better IRL. I had a hard time trying to get the colors right in the photo.
Using the top of the card as a guide, I stamped the daisy-like flower sentiment across the top, colored in a few areas in the flowers, and attached a strip of the polka dot paper just covering the "friend" sentiment. Next I stamped "enjoy the little things" in the bottom right corner, colored the word things, and attached a few Sparkles to finish everything off. I used two of the sets from the kit on this card!
Last but not least, I overlapped two matching circle papers, aligning the circles exactly for the background. Then I stamped "be your kind of beautiful" over a circle and colored in the word kind. Using the So Many Smiles set, I randomly stamped a variety of circle designs in the remaining circles and attached some sequins throughout as accents.
You definitely don't want to miss out on the lovely sets included in this month's special. Make sure to get your order in today!
Enjoy!
