Even though I'm an avid and very capable crafter, I appreciate Stampin' Up's kits line. They're perfect for when you don't want to fuss with preparing materials, as a gift or simply to take along. Personally I keep a few kits and Paper Pumpkins to take over to my parents. It's fun for Mom and I to make something together and have a pile of cards to share. They have everything you need:
There's also no time limit on kits! The Celebrate Today kit comes with a 12x12" magnet board, frame, gold binder clips, stickers, die cuts and cards. You can easily make an organization station in half an hour with this kit, but because I'm plenty crafty, I made it special :-) Sometimes kits are just a suggestion, which is why you can find many kit alternatives online.
You know how you save paper for special projects? I've been sitting on a stash of Flight and Airy DSP from 2024's Sale-A-Bration. This was definitely that special project! I love purple, so the speckly purple background sheet was a natural place to start. A perfectly sized piece Tea Room DSP from a few years ago wonderfully delineated the bottom. I used the pre-cut folder to make my own template to make co-ordinating folders. The extra cards are double-sided, so I can use them for other projects and cards.
Bonus fun: Did you know you can upcycle magnets for thrifty fun? We all receive those realtor or dentist magnets in the mail--don't throw them out! With DSP scraps, adhesive and some clear packing tape, you can make your own magnets, which is also what I've done here.
A project like this is easy to do on your own with some magnetic sheets and a picture frame. The possibilities are endless--you can make them as gifts or change them with the seasons too! Until next time...
