When you need basic white card

Do you ever have one of those weeks where there are Gremlins? The Gremlins seem to be in all my IT systems and they seem to have been there for a while. Things have disappeared, that I was sure I had on my phone. And worse of all they seem to have stolen all my spoons.

So todays video is a unboxing video of the items that ‘fell’ into my basket whilst I was ordering my basic white card. I realised that I had completely run out, as I hadn’t remembered to order some for a while. Only joking these are the items that I have wanted for a while, I was so excited to order the Biggest Wish stamp set. I love the font and there are so many gorgeous examples on Pinterest and available on google images.

The other items which I ordered that I am super excited about are the kits, I adore the new Love, Santa kit, I also got the Christmas Whimsy and the expression in colour paper pumpkin kit. I have wanted the expression in colour kit for a while but had to wait for my next order (I try to order once every few months as I am a discount shopper.)

I am hoping to get into the craft room soon to do some crafting. Would you like to see Christmas Whimsy or Love. Santa alternatives?

Love Santa Kit

Oooooo Stampin’ Up! are spoiling us again. They have released another new kit which creates some stunningly gorgeous tags. The Love, Santa Tag Kit from Stampin’ Up!’s kit collection is another all inclusive kit. All inclusive kits have the embellishments, ink pads, ribbons and block you need to create the gorgeous gorgeous tags. My favourite part is that you can reuse the stamps after the kit has been used up to create more gorgeous items. I have a fabulous collection of kit stamps which make gorgeous cards, I store them all together in an stamp case.

It has been suggested that the tag toppers could be cut off and the tags added to a card. I am not sure about this yet, my kit is still in my box (I am attempting to finish off some cards before I get distracted with new gorgeous items). I will experiment with them when I have the chance, but I do think that the example tags, look amazing!

As with all kits, I recommend that you will need a bone folder, a pair of scissors and some liquid glue. Although liquid glue is not specifically recommended, I use it to ensure that I have a little wriggle room when sticking items together.

The video below shows the Stampin’ Up! CEO Sara Douglass showing how to put together the kit step-by-step.

There are also a collection of gorgeous bags, which would be perfect to wrap up presents or make items for Christmas Eve boxes. I love the car the most, which is your favourite?
