I adore making these - they are so much fun! Each kit contains a wood mount stamp set, an ink pad, color instructions and all the supplies to make a few fun projects. October was a card, a bookmark and a 3-D project. I like to try to show a wide range of versatility for the stamp set. All too often people tell me they don't know what to do with a stamp set, or they have a ton of supplies but none of the right things. This is my answer! All you have to supply is scissors and a basic adhesive (glue stick or double stick tape - something like that) so it's a great gift for someone who has never stamped before and doesn't have a craft room, too!
When your kit arrives, it is in a flat
When you open the box, (as long as you have kept it flat!) everything is tidily laid out. The stamp set is mounted for you and ready to go, a fresh ink pad, ribbons coiled - I even include dimensionals! Everything is pre-portioned and ready. I even do all the die cutting, hole punching and dry embossing for you in case you don't have a Big Shot or Crop-a-Dile!
It really is an all-inclusive kit - I even included a bamboo skewer to curl your pumpkin vines. And the color photo tutorial is very clear - but of course, I'm always on call if you get stuck. :)
In addition to French Foliage and Soft Suede Classic Ink, the card features a Crumb Cake Cardstock base and a strip of Chocolate Chip
I wanted to stay away from traditional fall colors for the bookmark. :) I used a base of Pink Pirouette Cardstock, pre-cut and scored with the sticky strip already in place! I added a pre-punched scallop circle of Garden Green Cardstock,
Finally, the pumpkin! I make my pumpkins a little differently than those seen on many online tutorials, because I like to have a flat bottom so they sit flat. This one is amply sized for up to three battery tealights, too! Again, the strips are pre-cut and hole punched from Pumpkin Pie Cardstock, and the vines are Old Olive Cardstock. The ribbon is Old Olive 5/8" Satin - so luxurious in person!
Each of my kits includes a wood mount stamp set, so if you give it away your recipient won't need to worry about clear blocks if they don't have any. If you have the stamp set already but still want the kit I'll substitute any stamp set of equal or lesser value - same on the ink pad. If you want clear mount I can do that too. :)
The photo tutorial alone for the three projects is available for purchase for $5, e-mailed directly to you.
Soo...January's Stamp Set of the Month Kit will be.....With All My Heart! Because we are gearing up for Valentine's Day, the projects will have that theme although they will be suitable for other events as well. The ink pad color will be Real Red. This is going to be a fun one - you do not want to miss it!
And don't forget about the amazing Clearance Rack Blitz!!
What a great idea. Everything you need to make the gorgeous projects and ideas for using those you don't. Thanks for sharing.
