I have been buying things on HSN and this went on clearance and is a great deal now, even though I bought it full price, darn… I didn’t play with it until it was on clearance, and I hope you’ll enjoy the kit. I am not affiliated with HSN, but loved this kit and thought some of you might too.

Cards made:

Leaf Card— I used the leaf stencil with Stampin’ Up Always Artichoke ink and the rounded top dauber that I sprayed a little water on it then inked the whole front of a 5 x 7″ card base. When finished, I let it dry then added butterflies from the Dollar Tree link: https://tinyurl.com/58j7zjea and a banner I made using the white texture paste I colored green. It wasn’t super green so after I finished, I used a Stampin’ Up marker in Always Artichoke and colored over the sentiment to make it match the background. I didn’t get this on video, sorry.

Circle Card: I used the stencil with circles and the pink ink and inked the entire stencil then offset the stencil and used the dark pink chalk and the pom poms to color the circles again to give the circles more definition. I sprayed the surface after blowing the excess chalk off into my garbage can with Glitter Dust in silver, link: https://tinyurl.com/2p8rjw57. I took a Stampendous stamp called Cling Vase Bouquet (couldn’t find any on ebay right now, but keep checking there as that’s where I found it) and stamped it with Gina K black ink and then used clear embossing powder and heat set it on an off white cardstock. I used a variety of orange, red, purple and green alcohol markers to color the image then fussy cut it and using foam tape, adhered it to the card front. I tried the pink dimensional paint and a stencil and tried to get a good image, but didn’t like it well enough to use on the card, so I used another friend quote from the quote sticker stack (friends) from my stash. I didn’t find another of these on ebay but keep checking as you can usually find them there.

Diamond Card: I used the sticky paste to the stencil and added gold foil over the top and let it dry overnight. I pulled the gold foil off and it didn’t completely attach so I used a glue stick and added more sticky to the card base and pressed the foil into it until I fixed all of the spots I didn’t like. Then took a theater popcorn diamond painting magnet and adhered it to the front with double sided tape. I added a sentiment sticker from Quote Sticker Stack Friends (I couldn’t find this stack online.) I used foam tape to adhere it to the card beneath the popcorn.

I hope you found this to be a good representation of the products in this kit. You get a lot of good merchandise as well as a detailed booklet on uses and ideas for the things included. I really enjoyed working with them and am glad I bought the kit, even though I paid full price for it.
