Share your love of handmade creations with our February Card Kit A Colorful Crafty Life!

This cute and cozy craft-themed kit is sure to spark your creativity, allowing you to spend more time making the things that you love! Included in the kit are 12 sweet and whimsical double-sided 6×6 patterned papers from Echo Park’s I’d Rather Be Crafting collection. The papers feature lovely shades of warm brown, aqua, mint, apricot, coral, pink, and golden yellow, along with fun, creative icons; everything from buttons, scissors, typewriters, tape measures, cameras, pens, and staplers (to name a few), plus a medley of beautiful, classic prints! The patterned papers are perfectly complemented with hand-picked, coordinating cardstock from Simon.

The adorable, Simon exclusive Crafty Friend stamp set includes cute craft-inspired sentiments, along with fun little additions to stamp on the back of your cards or on your envelopes. Add details with hearts and two sweet border stamps; or go bold with modernistic, crafty images like envelopes, scissors, a marker, and pencil; there is even a tube of paint, a paintbrush, and paint palette! It’s crafty-heaven in stamp form. Who can resist? 

We want you to spread your creative wings and get technique-y with this kit, so we’ve included some pretty awesome things to get you started! Try your hand at watercoloring with the six-color Daniel Smith Watercolor sample palette and a water brush pen. Or, you can create glorious texture with one of two (yes we said two!) Sizzix Tim Holtz Alterations embossing folders included. And, if you’re so creative that you need a pair of scissors in your purse (who doesn’t need that, right?), you’re going to LOVE the Curved Blade Scissors from Twiggy. They are compact and come with a protective cover. How smart is that?

Rounding out this playful kit is a baggie of super pink and sparkly Cupid’s Kiss Crystals from Studio Katia, five wood embellishments from Prima, a 60ml bottle of Simon Says Stamp Craft Tacky Glue and three coordinating Simon Says Stamp envelopes (because we like to encourage you to send your cards when they are complete)!

Our February Card Kit, A Colorful Crafty Life is proof that living a creative life is tons of fun! We think you’ll want to get started right away in making a whole slew of delightful cards!

I have filmed a walkthrough video with additional inspiration that you can view below or on our YouTube channel HERE.
