You're Kitting Me! - Hello, Dear Friend

 Hi Friends,

Today I'm continuing my little journey through Stampin' Up!'s kits.  Why kits?  Well, I'm glad you asked!  They are a good value!  Some kits include everything you need to assemble them as shown; all kits include most everything you need to assemble as shown.  Sometimes the stamp set is included; other times you can add the selected stamp set to your order or you can use one from your stash.  But Stampin' Up! will always let you know what you may need to complete the kit as it was designed.  And, if you so choose, you can assemble the kits as designed - meaning there is no design work needed by you, or you can modify them however you want.  It's a win-win!

I'm taking a look at the Hello, Dear Friend kit  (#154573) today.  This kit is an all inclusive kit from the January - June Mini Catalog.  All inclusive kits have everything inside needed to complete the projects featured in the kit.  So you buy the kit and nothing more!

This type of kit is particularly well-suited for a crafter without a lot of supplies on hand.  

Here is a look at the kit contents.

I made one substitution in the cards I made.  I used the birthday stamp from "Here's A Card" (#149438) for some of my cards.  I always have a need for more  birthday cards.  That's one of the great things about the Stampin' Up! kits.  They are flexible enough that you can substitute with other products you may have on hand!

What do I like most about it?  Three things:

-the fun vellum elements with gold accents

-the design work is done for me

-all supplies are included

Here is a look at some of the cards I made with this kit.

I appreciate you and thank you for choosing me as your Stampin' Up! demonstrator.  If there is ever anything I can do for you, please just let me know.

The host code for March is CZ3WPRC7 .  Please use this code when ordering.  If your order is more than $150.00, do not use the code.  Doing so would forfeit your earned hostess benefits.  However, you will still receive this month's order bonus from me.

Happy Stampin!
