My mother-in-law expressed interest in cardmaking in 2020, but because she lives far away and we werent visiting during the pandemic, there wasn't much I could do to get her started. At Christmas, I gave her kits that were pre-stamped and only required assembly. When we finally got to visit, I packed a few stamps, coordinating inks, and pre-cut papers.
At home, I still like to turn to pre-cut kits like these. Do you ever make your own kits?
For today's project, I grabbed an extra of these kits and this adorable owl stamp kit to make a quick card. The die cutting machine was packed away, but an old paper crimper added some texture to the design.

This is lovely, I am very fond of owls
ReplyDeleteI have sometimes made kits when I have taught a group of friends card making but when I travel they are mostly just pre-stamped images and card stick cut for a2 size cards.😊 Love your card today… the crimped card stock adds just that perfect touch to your cute owl!!❤️

Love that little owl! I like the idea of doing some card kits!!
ReplyDeleteThis bird nerd loves this cute image! Plus I am a coffee lover so this is the perfect card IMO. hehe I have never made my own kit. My cards tend to be one of a kind following a challenge theme.
ReplyDeleteGreat card! I've never pre-made kits before but spent some time over the last week cutting up patterned paper to use for mother's and father's day card to donate.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea!! I have scraps laying all around me....i should grab some and put kits together for when my crafting "matchy" mojo is in a slump!
ReplyDeletep.s. not sure why I'm just noticing the OWH notations at the end of your post....I too did OWH back in the day! :)
GREAT idea !!!!!
