So who knows what a Simply Scrappin' Kit is and what do you do with it? Stampin Up sells these "kits" which include 12x12 designer papers, coordinating card stock and stickers to embellish with. Ideally, you have what you need to be able to scrapbook a couple of pages with the one kit. These kits are not just for scrapbooking - you can use these kits to make all sorts of projects. Today, Becky T. shares with us how she used one of the Simply Scrappin Kits to make a bunch of cards!
Here's a little bit from Becky about how she divided up the kits and then instructions for each card:
"These are customer cutting directions. Each person will need their own paper cutter and scissors. They will also need to have pictures or samples of the cards so that they can see the finished card. I have only provided dimensions below.Highlighted parts are items to pre-cut and are not a part of the kit. Each person starts with ½ of the kit: 1 12 x 12 piece each of Certainly Celery, Very Vanilla, Kraft and Chocolate Chip, 1 each of the sticker sheets (3 total) and 1 ½ pieces of the 2 patterned papers. Be aware of how you are cutting the striped paper…you want the stripes going the long direction of the paper.
