Each kit includes both consumable and non-consumable products. I love taking stamps from previous kits and using them in new ways, like this bike, the random dots, and the 'hello'. The sun was made using Daffodil Delight card stock and a 7/8" Scallop Circle punch. Word Bubbles framelits and my trusty Big Shot helped me make the clouds and greeting. A little sponging around the edges really gives each piece just the right finishing touch.
April Showers were on Lou's mind when he created this delightful card! Look at all the details. From the sun peeking out from behind the black cloud to the rain drops (negative elements from the retired Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer punch) falling down on the handcrafted umbrella, each element adds to the story. Did you notice the woodcut people? They are left over from a previous kit. The hand-painted umbrella and clothing add just the right pop of color.
Ashley needed a sympathy card and quickly fashioned this simply lovely card, using the Love and Sympathy set inked with Calypso Coral. Stamping the flower element on the wider white stripe makes for perfect framing. Progressive layers of Whisper White, Coastal Cabana and Calypso Coral cardstock give the card front balance and draw attention to its tender message of comfort.

Until then, may the Lord bless and keep you.
