Using some materials from my February Kits - mostly Boho Femme I tried my best to lighten up very old dark photos. I also wanted to do some sponging so started with a white background and worked it well...
Paper: Whisper White, Tempting Turquoise, Old Olive, Bali Breeze Designer Series
This one the photo just does not do justice... I was trying a new technique transferring an image onto packing tape then mounting to paper. It is not really meant to be super clear but the lines really come through in photo. It is magically fun! And this is a silly photo of a boy being silly so I thought the layout should be fun...Stamp: Polka Dots & Paisleys (retired)
Ink: Taken with Teal, Old Olive
Paper: Club Scrap plain and print, Petals & Paisleys Designer Series (retired)
Accessories: Eastern Elegance Rub Ons, flower unknown
Stamp: Celebrate Everything, Birthday Whimsy
Stamp: Polka Dots & Paisleys (retired)
If you purchase a beginner kit (includes Portable Paper Cutter, Acrylic Graph & Grid Ruler, Precision Tip Paper Snips, SNAIL Adhesive Tape Runner, Bone Folder, Sanding Blocks and Basic Black Journaler Pen) for $78.56 plus tax and S/H you will get one free stamp set from the current promotional catalogue. This is a suggestion of selection only for a basic start; I am flexible for variance - current promotion requires you spend minimum $75.00 to obtain a set of your choice.

Using the 'Bali Break' kit, I printed the journaling onto SU! Tempting Turquoise then put it together using the kit... Paper: Tempting Turquoise, Old Olive, Bali Breeze Designer Series
Accessories: Eastern Elegance Rub Ons, EK Success medium sized corner punch
Using the 'Asian Blossom' kit for the following single and double page layouts, I printed the journaling, titles and border onto SU! card stock then used the kit to finish off... On the following layout I heat embossed the paper pieces to make matching embellishments.
Paper: Groovy Guava, Ginger Blossom Designer Series
I teach basic scrapbooking techniques to a young lady as part of the Stamper6 club. This is the double layout "she" created on Sunday. Again we used the interlocking envelope and the Always Stamp Set. I think she did an amazing job.
It was -47 below with a wind and 7am - I looked out and saw this bundled up mass walking on our street. With the ice fog and the time of day I thought it was beautiful!
Disclaimer Note: these kits are not pre-ordered and assembled as that would be a conflict of the SU! Stampin’ Up! Cash and Carry Policy. Because I am assembling them from products ordered at the time of customer order, they are, like all merchandise, applicable to normal tax and SH rates. All other standard policies are applicable (see back of invoice). It is only in multiple purchases I am able to do these kits and break up the individual packages. All merchandise in kit is current product- nothing is discontinued.
I thought these kits would be nice for newer customers as well as convenient for others. I know that when you are first new to Stampin'Up! products it is easy to want a lot of different product. It takes awhile to build stock up but I hope this will help. You will get a nice selection at the retail cost (more goodies just smaller quantities of each)!! For those that loved my Christmas card kits this is similar in that I have matched everything up for you so you can have a lot of fun but I am not designing the cards. Each set should make 12-16 cards or 3 double layout scrapbook pages. The possibilities are endless! There are plenty of accessories and you should have some left over to use with other projects as well and a beautiful stamp set for your collection. I think it is an economical way to start playing faster! And 2 kits will meet the minimum for a free SAB set (see brochure below) so that is a great reason to stock up and get free product :) Note though, for those in Stamper 6 club I have ordered you a SAB set already, so to get another free set you need to spend $70.00 (note: dropped from $75.00) over the minimum but the good news is these kits would meet the monthly minimum!!! And they are based on the latest in styles out in the card making/ scrap booking world!

The first card/project was a Valentines Bag Topper using some materials from the current SU! Valentines promotion- I know I saw a similar style out there somewhere and thought so cute! I changed some colours to match candies as they were a gift from me to the girls as they support breast cancer. I used some of the other supplies from the promotion on other cards.
The second card was so much fun! I saw it done on a web-a-sode and was so excited to try. The interlocking envelope close with silver embossed hearts. The card can be loose or attached inside. I was so excited to use the new Always set from SU! as the images are adorable and so trendy! I think I will keep this one awhile for an example!!!
Stamps: Always
The third card was inspired by a design I saw and borrowed the general idea but simplified a great deal for class purposes. The little birds in A Little Birdie Told Me are so cute! The heart is dry embossed. I mailed this one out to another special little man in my life who sounded like a bird about a year ago LOL... Unfortunately it had a wee accident with a very apologetic lady in class but still sweet so I sent out... happy Valentines my little baby eagle xo
The forth card was using emboss resist technique. I had to use all the images in Always so the rest not used before are used here. I mailed this to my sister in law for her birthday - like me she was born close to Valentines Day- a fellow Aquarius- so Valentinesy is appropriate.
