Simply Sent

Here's another set of cards I made recently. These were very quick and easy because I used a Simply Sent kit that Stampin' Up! had sent me as a thank you quite a while ago. If you're not familiar with these kits I highly recommend checking them out! They come with everything you need to make a full set of cards with two different designs! This kit included all the precut papers, ribbons, brads, stamps, ink, envelopes and even Watercolor Crayons (in 3 colors) plus an aquapainter. They also have full sheets of glue dots and Stampin' Dimensionals. They are a great affordable way for someone new to stamping to give it a try, or for someone like me to get some cards done super quick!

For this set I did make two changes that are not part of the kit. Since I am making these as sets I wanted the sentiments to all be a little different so I used stamps from my own collection. Also, the card on the right has a textured piece (the Always Artichoke layer) that I ran through the Big Shot with my Finial Press Embossing folder. That's the beauty of these kits as well- you can adapt each one with anything you want from your own stash!

I may be back later with another example of a Simply Sent Card Kit, but in the mean time I want to give a shout out to my good friend Lisa Henke who made the fabulously talented and highly sought after group, the Dirty Dozen on Splitcoast!! Congrats Lisa, so proud of you!

If I don't make it back tomorrow it's because I'm off on a weekend-long scrapbook retreat I've been looking forward to since last year! Hopefully I'll be back with all kinds of completed, amazing scrapbook pages to share! Have a great weekend!

WICKED Thoughts

Hey, it's not as bad as it sounds! I just found a different kind of challenge on Splitcoast that I had been hearing tidbits about but didn't know where to find. Well, I've found it- the WICKED challenges for SU demonstrators. I'm afraid if you aren't a demo you won't be able to click on the link, but you can still see my card I did using the sketch challenge for May. If you are a demo I highly recommend checking out the WICKED challenges which stands for: Wonderfully Inspiring Challenges Keep Educating Demos!



So what do you think of my color combo? It is Almost Amethyst, Kiwi Kiss and Pumpkin Pie! Somehow these colors just found their way onto my desk- well, the Kiwi and the Amethyst did, then I figured I needed an extra umph so went with Pumpkin as the accent. I just love them together and can't wait to use this combo again!

The stamps are from a set called Sending Happy Thoughts which is part of a Simply Sent kit from SU. These kits are awesome! They are perfect for the new stamper with little to no supplies because they include precut cardstock, adhesive, ribbon and brads plus envelopes; but they are also a fun gift idea for just about anyone including the expert stamper!

So glad you stopped by!
