Let's take a look at each card! I assembled them according to the full-color instructions that are included in the kit. Stampin' Up! makes it so easy for you! It took me about 1-1/2 hours at a non-rushed pace to put together all 20 cards!

Card #1

Full-Size Cards—The 20-card kit includes 10 full-size cards with envelopes. All of the card bases are pre-printed with either a solid color or a beautiful watercolor background.

Sentiment Layers—Each card comes with a colorful die-cut label for stamping the sentiment with the Night of Navy or Watermelon Wonder ink spots that are included. The sentiments are popped up with Dimensionals, also included.

Card #2

Wooden Accents—Several of the cards feature wooden hearts, heart outlines or butterflies! So cute!

Card #3

Washi Tape—You'll also have a roll of washi tape for adding fun, striped accents to the cards and envelopes! You know I love those stripes!

Card #4

Banner Stickers—You'll receive a whole sheet of sticker banner embellishments like the banner accent on this card.

Die-Cut Floral Accents—There is also a full sheet of colorful, die-cut flowers and leaves to use as accents! Pretty!

Card #5

Shiny Sequins—You'll want to finish off your cards with the included sequins in Pearl and Pool Party colors.

Card #6

Have Your Glue Dots Handy—The only thing you need to add to this kit is adhesive for some of the embellishments. I found that Glue Dots work the best for all of the accents. It takes A LOT of Glue Dots, but they work well on the die-cuts, wooden accents and sequins. Plus, they are faster than SNAIL and a lot less messy than Multipurpose Glue!

Card #7

3-1/2" x 5" Cards—The kit includes 6 cards in this medium size…and you'll have white envelopes to match!

Card #8

Large Word Bubbles—Some of the medium size cards have cute word bubble layers for the stamped sentiments.

Card #9

Ooops! Unfortunately, sometimes you stamp the sentiment upside-down on the word bubble, so you have to cut off the arrow, unless you want it pointing upward! LOL!

Card #10

Choose Your Sentiments—I assembled my cards like the photos in the instructions, but you can mix & match the sentiments to suit your occasions! Keep a kit on hand for those quick cards you need at the last-minute!

Leftovers—After I was done assembling, I gathered up all of the goodies that I could use on additional projects! Of course you have the stamps, inks and acrylic block, but there were also lots of wooden accents, washi tape and sequins left. I realized after I took the photo that I forgot to add the the rest of the die-cut flowers…just a few of those and some leaves left.

Card #11

Dress Them Up—Since I had extras, I decided to go back and dress up some of my cards. The remaining cards are shown assembled like the instructions, along with a closeup of my extra accents! Here, I added a butterfly and some sequins.

Card #12

More Is Better—This one is simple & pretty on it's own, but I LOVE it with some added accents! That strip of washi tape and wooden heart makes it really pop!

Card #13
