Card Kit - Day 1

I'm back. Sorry for my absence...

I had a LOVELY time with my family. Really special, given that I don't get to see my sister and brother a whole lot. We had lots of laughs and fun. Perfect. :)

Anyway - as I was packing to go away, I received a very wonderful gift from the super kind Heidi at Simon Says Stamp. She sent me one of her FABULOUS July Card Kits. So, I grabbed some black ink, an acrylic block, and a pair of scissors and packed the kit along with all Lily's toys. I thought I might be able to grab a few minutes to create something or other while away...

And BOY did I have fun. These kits are perfect for this kind of thing - a little vacation, a weekend away... all you need is a couple of tools and you have the ingredients for LOADS of cards.

Heidi includes a glossy sheet of card ideas by the wonderful Kristina Werner if you get a bit stuck for inspiration, but I didn't have that problem. The items in the kit are put together so well that it's easy to come up with ideas, and before I knew it, I had made 5 cards. I have LOTS of supplies left too for another day. AND a fab stamp set that is a definite new favourite.

So, I'm going to share one card a day for the next 5 days. :) All of the cards use ONLY materials found in the kit along with black ink and a sewing machine.  Here's a picture of the kit contents:

And, here is today's card:

It could be used as a gift card holder as the envelope opens to the side. A fun little extra. :)

So, Heidi - thank you. I LOVE the kit. And I recommend it whole heartedly. It was so exciting to open this little box of delights. And even more exciting sketching and designing these cards. :)

Back tomorrow with card 2.
