I have gotten some ideas thrown at me for videos since joining YouTube & I have to say, this one is an interesting challenge…. How to use scraps & stretching supplies. Well, I DO like a challenge! I also wanted to make this something a lot of people would be able to do! (I HOPE!) Plus, it has been on my mind, using scraps so I’ll do my best to thread ideas for this into future creations as well! Don’t forget our military members & families, great troop oganizations such as anysoldier.com (They have anysailor.com, anymarine.com, etc.), Soldiers’ Angels, nursing homes & hospitals in your area!

This kit is so exciting & fun! As if having Altenew in a card kit wasn’t unique in & of itself… The stamp set from Altenew is a large 6×8 inches in size! Ya, baby! The stamp set alone retails for $21.00! (Altenew.com is my source for the pricing.) A 3 piece Spellbinders balloon die with the word “celebrate” as well. Love that versatility & the ability to emboss almost any substrate if I wish with a Spellbinders die! Very handy for a balloon die, imo! You get over 125 6mm & 3mm gems in a rainbow of colors, 18 fun sheets of paper, a 12×12 inch cut apart printed sheet, ephemera w/ acetate images in it & on & on… It’s like the Energizer bunny of card kits!

I’m really excited to share with you a new 10 card, 1 kit video, using products from Lawn Fawn & 1canoe2, in particular from this Amazing Value Kit from Creative Escape Papercrafting! The papers with really fun & fresh with corals, blues & grays0 Now, I know some of you may have the firefly stamp from Lawn Fawn (The firefly stamp & die set were included in the kit: SCORE!) &/or the glow in the dark embossing powder so I hope to show some fun ways to use all different kinds of products, even alphabets & Distress Oxides… In fact, I had so much fun while recovering from a hospital stint, or as my U.K. friends would say, “theatre”, I created 11 fun cards for anyone you may have in your life: kids, women, parents, men, friends… I plan on sending a couple cards to a few military members & our oldest niece, whom is in Boot Camp for the U.S. Navy! Ready for the video & giveaway announcement?!? Thanks so much for your support on my channel!
