New Kit - Cut Above Cards

Yup, I'm back with more for the Week of New!

Today is the brand new Starter Cut Above® Card Kit. You'll see it on page 3 of our 2022-2023 Core Products Book.
The kit includes 6 preprinted card bases, 6 envelopes, 2 sheets of diecuts, and full color printed instructions.

I got this purely for shits and giggles. I wanted to try it and see how easy it was. I wanted to see how I could change it up and make things look more like my style of cardmaking. I got the Starter Kit and Starter Sentiments stampset as I already have ink, blocks, and cleaner on hand. If you want to get it all in one fell swoop, try the Starter Bundle!
The kit makes 2 each of these designs.

Y'all, honies, you NEED to try this! As an experienced cardmaker, I found it very enjoyable to put this kit together in an evening (between dinner and catching up on Critical Role). Here's what I made!
This is all you need. The Starter Kit, block, ink, adhesive, and cleaner. I use spritz and scrubber.

The kit makes 2 each of 3 designs. These I did as directed.

You do not need a lot of space to craft. This is my 3.5' folding table I use.

I did each design as instructed, and for the second card I changed it up with extra goodies from my stash.

I used my LePens to enhance the balloon strings, toffee ink to edge the balloons and banner, and a different stampset. I really like it!

I sponged toffee ink on all pieces, used my LePens to color in parts of the card base grid, and some glitter gems for sparkle. I also changed it to landscape.

Yuuuuup, more toffee ink on this one too! I added some gold shimmer trim, glitter gems, and changed it to portrait.

With a few simple changes, it was easy to amp these up from "plain" to "ooooh I like what you did there"!




See? In my jammies, ready for bed, nearly out of isolation, and I made cards.

If I can do this with a somewhat fuzzy noggin, you can do it.

Which is your favorite? Congrats balloons is my fave!
Are you inspired to give this a go?

What is it?
A subscription Cardmaking Kit sent straight to your door to create at your leisure.

How much is it?
$100 (for 4 month subscription) or $232.50 (for 12 month subscription)

What's included in the price?
Each delivery includes materials to create a set of beautiful, handmade cards, that will come together in a snap thanks to pre-printed card bases, die-cut shapes, embellishments, trims, an exclusive My Acrylix® stamp set, a stamping block and mini ink pads. You’ll have all the pieces you need to create your cards just the way you want them. The September-December Kit includes materials to create 24 cards.

What's different about this Kit?
This kit is preprinted, diecut, and ready to assemble. There's no cutting of papers or cardstocks. Score!

My favorite part about it?
The stampset and a mini ink pad are included. It is shipped straight to my door. It comes in a flippin cute box. I get to create when I have the time and brainspace to do so. If that's at 3am while waiting for the house to cool down in middle of summer? Perfect. During naptime? Mmhmm. While on holidays down the coast at a little beachside unit? Girl, invite me along!

At minimum, an Adhesive Runner, Foam Dots, Glue Dots, Scissors, Versamat, Stamp Shammy, Spritz, and a Pen. Any extra items will be listed on the instruction sheets in the kit.

Top 10 Favorites - #9

The new Core and Supplemental Catalogs are here and I have some new favorite items for my crafting stash.


#9 - Julep 12" x 12" Everyday Life™ Album.


What is it?
A soft, stitched, 12"x12" faux leather album with 1" O-rings for quick and easy album making. A finished album size of 15" × 13¼" × 1½" means this will nicely fit on the same shelf as our Post-bound and D-ring albums, and with other sizes of Everyday Life albums!

Four sizes for any project size you can imagine!

How much is it?
$44 + shipping

What's different about this Everyday Life™album to the other 12"x12" Albums available?
This album is faux leather with O-rings. It is the same ring style as our 6"x8" Everyday Life™ albums we've had for a few years now.

My favorite part about it?
This size is perfect for albums when you don't have enough pages to fill a Post-bound or D-ring album. The O-rings are also easy to open and close which makes adding pages a breeze.


What else is needed to use this album?
Completed 12x12 scrapbook pages, Top Load or Side Load Memory Protectors™. That's it! I suggest the Reasons to Smile kit for a great starter option with this album. Try this bundle I've created for great savings! If you have a Craft with Heart™ Scrapbooking Subscription, this is perfect for holding your finished layouts until you decide where to put them.

How long is this album available to order?
Unless sold out earlier, this album is available to order until August 31, 2020.

Catch up on the rest of the Top 10 here: 10
