Making Substitutions to Use What You Have! Stampin’ Up! Card Kits

I know there are many times that those of you who are in my Card Club or take online classes from me or others end up with a class packet that you don’t have the exact stamps for. Today’s card was designed for my in person camp. When I designed it the Star dies were still in stock as a Product of the Month option. Just 3 days later and they were out.

I had already cut the paper to film the tutorial, so I decided to do what you may often need to do and simply sub out something else that would work.

Two cards using the same kit – check out the same, but different tutorial!

I wanted to make sure that you saw the star card as well…because obviously many of you ordered it and will have it to use.

I have loved the Alpine Winter paper so much this season. While it can be used at Christmas … or Winter, it’s also just a good all around set of many fun (and masculine when you need them) patterns.

I wanted to let you know that I am still behind. Mom is still in the hospital (as she has been for more than half of the last month). Monday will see her go home for a bit to recover (hopefully) OR having surgery. I am keeping up with the bare minimum at the moment. Those of you who earned a thank you gift in October, I have the things ready to cut and hope to find time to get them out to you this coming week. Please accept my apologies as we are just hanging on over here : (
