The Kits Collection by Stampin’ Up! launches today!!

You may have noticed in the new catalogue that our kits are going to be sold a little differently, online only. This is so you can see instantly what kits are available and will no longer be disappointed by backordered products. Another huge benefit to selling kits this way is the prdocut line can be updated much easier and more frequently, meaning more creative options for everybody.

Today is launch day for these kits and you can find all the current ones available by clicking here and selecting Kits Collection.

Another exciting thing in the new Kits Collection is non-stamping kits so if you’re brand new to crafting and not ready to take the stamping plunge simply try a kit with gorgeous Stampin’ Up! artwork already created for you, my personal favourite of these is the Notes of Cheer Kit with the delicate butterfly diecuts.

Hope you get chance to take a look and maybe try one out yourself.

Happy Crafting

A Cut Above Birthday Card

How happy does this man look realaxing in his hammock? I’d love to be hime right now, sadly it’s still a little too cold for sunbathing here in Yorkshire.

This image comes from the A Cut Above stamp set which is a great one for the men in your lives, the other image in the set with the lawnmower reminds me of both my husband and my dad.

The image was stamped on a die from the Hippo & Friends die set, its funny but I’ve had these almost a year and I think this is the first time I’ve used them but its a great set for frames and other little elements.

The background paper comes from the Ice Cream Corner Designer Paper pack and really adds to the bright relaxing card I was hoping to make.

Fingers crossed this will be me relaxing in my garden soon.

Back to Back Blooms Birthday Duo

I’ve got two cards today featuring the Back to Back Blooms stamp set from the January to June Mini Catalogue. This is one of our Reversibles stamp sets which means you can use both sides of the stamp to stamp.As these images are not symmetrical the back and front image won’t line up completly but will complement each other, perfect for when you’re stamping flowers.

I’ve kept to using Black, white and Magenta Madness for both cards. This first one uses Black as the outline and Magenta Madness as the background stamp.

After I’d stamped my background Magenta Madness image on the first card I re-stamped on a second piece of cardstock to create a lighter shade for this card. I then used full strength Magenta Madness for the outline.

The greeting comes from the Seaside Notions stamp set which is one the retiring list and I stamped this with White Craft Ink onto an Everyday Label.

I love the simplicity of the Back to Back Blooms stamp set, plus its a floral set which are always my favourites. Can’t wait to have more of a play with this one.

Happy Crafting
