Better in Real Life!

Most of the time, I like the Stampin’ Up kits. They do a good job for providing easy cards without breaking the bank and save time.
This time I LOVE the kit!

It’s called Incredible like you and is in the new Occasions catalog (Jan – March)
It is an assembly kit with very little stamping, 16 cards and envelopes for only $27
(stamps/ink not included)

Here are some photos of the cards before and after as I made each one!

The kit says you can use Coastal Cabana and Lovely Lipstick ink pads for the sentiments.
You could really just use Old Olive for them all if you have that, since every card has olive in it somewhere.

I really didn’t even need the twine but I made them exactly like the directions said to. Nice big, glossy photos to follow which was nice! Oh, be careful on the citrus looking one – the overlay fits perfectly over the circles – So flip it over and around until it lines up!

Olive glitter paper was a nice sparkly touch! It did shed a little green glitter as I worked with it so be sure to have some scrap paper down on your workspace.

My favorite….I could have made 20 of these! Look how gorgeous the pre-printed cards are and then adding on the laser cut white overlay…love.

LOVE the graperfruit grove envelopes, nice and sturdy as well as a matte plastic/vinyl pouch to store all the cards in!

Here are my 4 designs completed. The only other tip I have is to use a glue pen or a sponge dauber with a little glue on the edges of the die cuts. I really only tacked down the corners a little and the middles.

The recommended stamp set is nice but I think you can substitute lots of sentiments on hand in the punch out labels. It’s called INCREDIBLE LIKE YOU and is photopolymer (clear) and $17 #148708
