Studio Style Card Kit

Welcome back to the Papertrey festivities. Are you making your wish list and checking it twice? What a fun month for Papertrey and all you wonderful customers!

Dawn McVey has a fun set coming out this month called Studio Style. If you love to send cards to your crafting buddies, this set is for you! There's nothing more fun than stamping with a friend. So today I have a fun card kit to show you...the idea is to invite your friend over for some stamping fun. The *Let's get together for some crafting!* sentiment is perfect for making an invitation.

Then listen to your friend scream from miles away when he (for Ted) or she opens this adorable card kit. It's jam packed full of handmade doo dads, ribbon, buttons and patterned paper.....enough to create two cards, gift bags, etc. All you have to do is add some cardstock and basic supplies and your crafting day will start off with a bang!

Here's a fun idea: Send a card kit to each of your crafting friends that are coming over to stamp. Tell them to bring their card kit along with their other supplies. Then, start the session off with making some cards, etc using supplies from the card kit. You can do a show and tell at the end of your stamping day.
The card kit is composed of two A1 envelopes that are joined together with the flaps to create a folded card with pockets on the inside. The doodads which I colored with Copic Sketch markers, ribbon and buttons are attached to clear cardstock with glue dots. The clear sheet is then topped off with some Egg Hunt patterned paper and then stapled to the envelope.
Here's a shot of the envelopes. I created about a 1/4" spine so that the card kit would not spring open from the bulk of the doodads on the clear sheet.
So. Who's inviting me over to stamp? I have a nice little batch of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles just waiting to be devoured. I can make a mean margarita too. Chocolate and lime make a good combination. Me + You stamping. Good times.

Speaking of good times, be sure to check Nichole's blog for the ongoing Papertrey par-tay.

Oh, and looky here....Nichole is also debuting another new set today called Flowers of the Year: Violets. There's a fun contest involved with one of my favorite themes....handmade embellishments...or doodads as I call them. Here's a sneak peek of my doodads that I made with the violets set. Stay tuned for my full post coming soon.
