Scrapbook pages I have been playing with ...

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...

February Kits

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!

NOTE: the little squares with 1 1/2" cuts of the patterned paper are a sampling to show you the related patterns that will come in each 6x12" Designer Series paper set.
