With the Kits Collection by Stampin' Up!™, you can go online and choose from a variety of affordably priced, versatile kits for multiple occasions. Each kit will provide step-by-step instructions and is all-inclusive, pre-cut, and ready to use. Kits are great for those who have time and/or space limitations, don’t want to collect crafting supplies, or don't think they are creative. They are designed with new crafters in mind to give them a fun, easy experience, but anyone can enjoy the kits. Kits are a one-time order, not a subscription!
Stampin' Up!™ just added a new no-stamping card kit, called the Saying Thanks Kit, that lets you make 9 beautiful thank you cards with coordinating envelopes.
Kits are also perfect for anyone who wants to host a stamping party with their friends. Everyone can choose the kit they want to assemble, have it delivered before the party so they can bring the kit with them to the event, and can have a great time assembling the projects they want and need while visiting with friends. Everyone will be able to see other kits as they are assembled by others as well. The Host will still receive credit for everyone's purchases when they use the assigned Host Code when placing their order. The Host can then use the Stampin' Rewards earned to purchase additional craft supplies for themself. If you are interested in being a Host for a Kit Party, contact me at michelerey@aol.com and we'll work out all the details.
Kits are sold online (not through a catalog) and are only available while supplies last, so don't wait to order one you love! If a kit is no longer available, it won't show up in the online store. New kits will be added regularly though, so be sure to check back often! If you really don't want to place an online order, I can order a kit for you, but keep in mind that it could sell out before I can get the order placed. You will have to go online no matter what to see what kits are available!
For basic information on kits, check out these short videos from Stampin' Up!™
