Today’s Freshly Brewed Projects Blog Hop is focused on having fun with kits. I chose the Love, Santa kit. Although this kit is currently unavailable, I’m hoping it will be back soon. If not, at least you’ll see how to use kits in alternate ways.
Love, Santa Kit
The Love, Santa Kit is a cute Christmas tag kit. You could also purchase a Project Kit which includes cello treat bags, in addition to the regular tag kit supplies.
Tags to Cards
I recently held a class where we used this tag kit. Instead of making tags, I prepared card bases, and we made twelve Christmas cards, using the tags as our focal point. Each person had their own kit, so everyone had their own stamps and Night of Navy ink spot. I supplied the card bases, matching layer, and a white insert for the inside of the cards, along with additional ink colors.
Leaves and Berries
For this card, we used a Just Jade card base and layer. We stamped the background leaves in Soft Sea Foam as we wanted the background to be more subtle than the Just Jade ink. Our tag is attached with Dimensionals.
Merry Santa
For Merry Santa, we used Night of Navy for our card base and layer and stamped Merry in Night Of Navy diagonally across the layer as a background. We cut the tag loop off Santa and adhered him with Dimensionals.
Truck Full of Presents
This card base is Real Red and the presents on the background layer are stamped in Real Red. The tag loop was removed and the truck and presents were adhered with Dimensionals.
Oh, Christmas Tree
For our tree card, we stamped the Bumble Bee background layer using the leaf stamp and So Saffron ink as we wanted a more subtle background than the Bumble Bee ink. The tag loop was removed and the tree was adhered with Dimensionals.
A Dozen Christmas Cards Done!
On the inside of each card, we placed a white panel stamped with the same stamps and ink as our background. At the end of this class, we each had twelve handmade Christmas cards finished. Not bad for one afternoon!
