Stampin’ Up! A Look at the New Forever Friends Kit – and some Blog Candy!

Good morning and…Happy Happy Hawwwwwwmp DAY!!!  Mike Mike MIKE!!  I hope your week is going great, y’all! 🙂

I wanted to share a super pretty and super easy new All-Inclusive Kit with you from our Kits Collection!  It’s the Forever Friends Kit and – I liked the pictures of them so much that I bought TWO of them!  They arrived the other day and I dug into ONE of them right away!

I found everything in the kit that I needed to make eight really beautiful cards – including a Night of Navy ink spot, a very pretty floral sentiment set, an acrylic block – and all the adhesives you need!  Hint:  it’s ALL Foam Strips – so everything is popped up (my kinda card!!).

Which means…you can put these cards together anywhere and you don’t need to carry your entire craft room with you!

I sat down and had the cards together in just a little over 30 minutes.  That’s what I call instant gratification!!

Pretty!!  Check out the cool Old Olive foiling – sweet!!

There are just two designs – one is a portrait-orientation – and I really love the card front – it comes printed with a pretty floral image and then you’ll stamp the Night of Navy flowers to add a little oomph!

The colors in this kit are perfect – Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, Night of Navy, Old Olive, Petal Pink.

The second design is a landscape card – and it really rocks the Old Olive foil!

I stamped the pretty flower and some leaves on the inside of each of the cards…

– and the front of the foil-decorated envelope – in Night of Navy!

Each envelope came pre-bling’d with that wunnermus Old Olive foil – and it even peeks over the top edge.  Did you notice that in the photo above??

It didn’t take me long to put them together – you can see the process in this short video from Stampin’ Up!

So – I hope this kit is on your list now – if it is…head over and pick one (or three!!) up right quick!

 

 

You can see ALL of the kits currently available in the Kits Collection By Stampin’ Up! in the online store here. The kits are available for anyone to purchase, you don’t even need a subscription! 🙂

    I am so excited to see cards w the daisy stamp and dies. I love that set. And you make the most beautiful cards

  2. MeMe C

    SO many beautiful new things in the catalog and of course I want most of them…but what am I looking forward to the most? Bubble Bath and Lemon Lolly!! I have been wanting a “clean” pink and yellow for soooo long! All the other stuff is cake for sure, but this…THIS is the icing!!

  3. Such a pretty kit! Love that the cards go together so quickly too! Poor Finn…those bugs can sneak up on you and you never know if it’s a giant bug or a tiny one. 😉

  4. I am excited to purchase & use the new In Colors! I also can’t wait to get the Delightful Daisy stamps & dies. Thank you for this generous giveaway!

  5. Tricia D

    Hi Mary, I’m most looking forward to playing with the beautiful balloons suite. I love the vibrant colors and all the fun dies that go with it. Thanks for the chance to win!

  6. Sue Floyd

    Wow! Favorite product… New colors! Favorite stamp…Layering leaves(love the sentiment fonts).Favorite Suite….Masterfully Made. Favorite punch bundle… Circle Sayings. Favorite die bundle…Crafting with you (almost tied with Beautiful Balloons). Favorite stand alone dies …Wanted to Say ( can’t wait to see you use this when it available!)
    It’s funny, the balloon bundle is so not my style but your designs made me love it!
    Thanks for the chance to win. Like both but kaleidoscope more my style.
    Sue

  7. Kevin Boyer

    I really like the forever friends kit. The bundle I am most interested in is crafting with you. Thanks for the chance to win this kit.

  8. kathybeemer

    I am so excited about the new catty. I don’t have one yet but have seen some sneak peeks online. The Cheerful Daisy looks so fun!

  9. Angie Latham

    I think my fav is Countryside Corners. Why? Because I’m always looking for something new, and I haven’t seen anything quite like that from SU. Also, I just love the dsp blues! Having said that, I’m envisioning an Ohio State “0” in red, grey and white, as my son graduated from Ohio State. Can you see it? I haven’t seen anyone try that, yet, but I’m going to play around with it.

  10. JRGH

    All the New colors of course and the Layering Leaves stamp set.

  11. What a pretty kit! Thanks for sharing!

    Finn is as handsome as ever! 🙂

  12. Phyllis Werner

    I can’t wait to see new projects using the new colors refresh. There are so many pretty ones, plus new in colors. Thanks for the chance to win

  13. Lisa H

    I’m looking forward to seeing the Stargazing Suite with the Reach For The Stars stamps and dies. The colors look so pretty and bright!

  14. Cindy Godwin

    I’m most excited about the color refresh! I can’t wait to see the colors in person. SU! does such a good job with color it makes it so easy to put together new color combos. And of course, I’m always excited to see new DSP!

  15. Tricia D

    I’m looking forward to getting many different stamp sets but I have to admit I was elated to find out Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock, and Misty Moonlight were coming back! I hope you’ve had a great weekend so far!
