Priscilla's Papercrafts: Notes of Kindness

For my July Card Clubs I tried something new. Because of some unexpected travel, I had little time to prep for my classes. So I suggested we all order the Notes of Kindness Card Kit from Stampin' UP! and make them together. And I was thrilled that 8 of my customers took advantage of this offer.

We got together and everyone received their kits. We opened them together and then went through ALL the contents. WOW! There is SO much in that pretty box! It truly contains everything you need to make 20 cards - the exclusive stamp set, an acrylic block on which to mount the stamps, a Basic Black Archival Ink Spot for stamping, and beautiful die cut images, labels, stickers, pearls and copper twine for embellishing your cards. There are 20 lovely printed card bases and lined envelopes.

Then we got started. We all made one of each card so that everyone could go home and complete their kit. Let's take a look at the 4 cards:

They are SO pretty!

The first one we put together was this one:

The card base is printed with Mint Macaron stripes. We added the Blushing Bride-striped banner and the die cut leaves, along with a loop of copper twine. The sentiment was stamped on the included stitched label and adhered with Dimensionals (also included!). So pretty!

Number two was easy:

No stampin' involved here - the die cut succulent was adhered with Dimensionals and we added the "Thank You" sticker, the copper twine and some pearls.

Done! But it was one of the favorites.

Our third card was this one:

Another beauty: I love the watercolor wash of Soft Seafoam on the pre-printed card base. We stamped the little "x"s and adhered the two stickers and the pretty die cut gardenia. We tied a bow with the copper thread and stamped the sentiment, which is on Dimensionals.

And finally:

Again, the printed card base is SO pretty! A small Blushing Bride label was added and we stamped the sentiment.

Just a loop of copper twine and some pearls finished off this card in no time.

If you haven't checked out the lovely kits available in the Annual Catalog, you're missing out. The cards are fabulous and relatively easy to complete. Just imagine making all 20 cards and packaging up groups of each sample, giving you 5 beautiful gifts! Or keep one set for yourself and make four other friends happy.

When we completed our 4 cards, we then made two more, using elements from the kits. Come back tomorrow and see our two "over the top" samples!
