Watercolor Christmas Project Kit - Stampin' Up! - 4th card

Here is the 4th and final card in the Watercolor Christmas Project Kit found on page 34 of the holiday catalogue.  The coloured images are printed on the card base, ready for you to add accent pieces to complete your card.  Although it does not show in the picture, I added Wink of Stella to all of the vine leaves and used the Fine Tip Glue Pen to all of the berries.  It adds such a sweet finish to the card!  

The kit includes enough envelope liners for all 20 cards.  These liners are quite thick.  With the image on the top left, I just used a bone folder to crease the liner.  It left it a little crinkled so with the one on the right I used the scoring board to make my crease.  It had a better finish.  I will use the liners for four of the cards, but think I will save the rest up for alternative ideas!  That is one of the fun parts about kits.  You don't have to do it all as outlined!

Here are all the pieces you use with the kit, complete with pictorial instructions.

There is something in the catalogue for everyone; beginner to experienced; stop by and visit my store at:

Watercolor Christmas Project Kit - Stampin' Up! - Card 3

Third of the designs for the Watercolor Christmas Project Kit on page 34 of the holiday catalogue.  Fine Tip Glue was used to glue on the sequins and holly pieces.  Wink of Stella was painted on the holly leaves and it has a lovely shimmer in real life.  The Fine Tip Glue was used on the holly berries and adds a little shine and dimensions.   

I'm hoping you can at least see the shine on the berries from this angle.  Well worth the time waiting for the berries to dry.

If you are just starting out, card kits are certainly a wonderful way to give card making/stamping a try!

Tomorrow is the 4th and final card in this kit.

Thanks for stopping by!

Watercolor Christmas Project Kit - Stampin' Up! - Card 2

This one of the four designs in the Watercolor Christmas Project Kit.  If you don't have a lot of supplies, kits are the way to go.  They are simple enough and not overwhelming.  Additional supplies were the Watercolor Christmas stamp set (shown below), dimensionals, fine tip glue pen, Basic Black in pad.  I also used Fast Fuse tape runner and Wink of Stella.

This card came with the white panel of coloured trees already on the paper.   I added some Wink of Stella to each tree and it gives and nice shimmer to the trees.  I tried to get photos but the lovely shimmer just didn't show up.  

Here is the wood mount version of this stamp set.  It is also available in clear (meaning, you put the stamp on a clear block for stamping).

Next post will show the 3rd design in this project kit.

Thanks for stopping by!

Watercolor Christmas Project Kit - Stampin' Up! - Card 1

I ordered two kits from the new holiday catalogue.  This one is called Watercolor Christmas Project Kit.  You can find it on page 34.  The photo above shows all the contents of the kit (after taking off of die cut sheets)  All set to get started!  Additonal supplies needed are the co-ordinating stamp set (Watercolor Christmas), demensionals, fine tip glue pen, adhesive (I used Fast Fuse), Basic Black Ink Pad.

Here is my first card.  You can tell it is so easy and quick to put together.  You get enough card bases and supplies to make 5 each of 4 designs.  Although I have made one of each of the supplied designs, I may experiment a little and change the others up!

My next post will feature card #2
