You can create all this and so much more from one kit
(15 cards and 3 different 12x12 Scrapbook Pages, a Basket, Card Tote)
and 8 sheets of 8 ½” x 11” Whisper White card stock, Adhesives and a Paper Trimmer with scoring blade
For a long time now I’ve wanted to showcase the fabulous new Stampin’ Up! Simply Scrappin’ Kits from the 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalog. My challenge last year was that many of my customers are primarily card makers and probably wouldn’t take a second look at a “scrappin’ kit”. I also have a number of customers who are scrapbookers and don’t make cards and then there is the group who do both and so l created several fun classes – using rub ons and our now retired Simply Scrappin’ Kits – The response to my classes was beyond anything I ever expected or hoped for – Coast to Coast and around the globe – I was stunned!
The thing that struck me most as I was creating these projects was that they made me smile, they are soooo bright and cheerful - I can’t decide if it was the fun, yet flexible images or the fabulous color combinations.
• For my “card makers” – I made 15 bright, super simple and fun cards from half, yes, half the kit plus eight sheets of 8 ½” x 11” Whisper White card stock and as well as still having half the kit still unused, there were still pieces left over to make a few extra projects and so I’ve stepped it up a bit this time and included a basket and card tote project, all from half the Simply Scrappin’ kit.
• For my “scrapbookers” – I made 3 different but coordinating 12x12 scrapbook pages from half, yes, half the kit and of course with the other half of the kit you could easily create coordinating facing pages for a double spread and there were plenty of images left over for extra embellishment or making additional projects later. Again I’ve stepped it up a bit this time and given you some bonus ideas to create two of the pages in two slightly different ways.
• For my “card makers/scrapbookers” – I made three different but coordinating 12x12 scrapbook pages and 15 cards, along with a card tote and basket, by using the entire kit plus eight sheets of extra 8 ½” x 11” Whisper White card stock and there were still plenty of pieces left over for extra embellishment or additional projects.
As always I chose to use the minimum tools and embellishments to keep the projects simple and inexpensive – perfect for beginners and bliss for long time crafters and the perfect project to take to a crop without having to take along “everything & the kitchen sink”:

Note to downline and other demonstrators – this is great because it appeals to everyone and you can make it fit anyone’s budget and who wouldn’t want to make all these cards/projects with just a few simple tools?
There are pictures with the by mail class for each card, as well as the 3d projects, and each scrapbook page, along with very simple directions – the pictures speak for themselves, so I didn’t see the need for step by step directions, but I did include dimensions, tips and directions where needed, right under each picture.
At the end of the project I still had lots of los of card and paper etc. left, so I’ll be creating more.
