Have you noticed the "Tin of Cards" kit that is featured on the front of the 2015-2016 Stampin' Up Catalog?
I ordered it with my first order and JUST now put it together!!
And it's absolutely darling! What a fun gift to give someone. You come away with 16 cards (4 each of 4 different designs), envelopes and a darling tin to hold the cards. The tin has dividers, so you can find the cards immediately!!
The coordinating stamp set "Tin of Cards" is just amazing. I absolutely LOVE the font!!
These would make wonderful gifts for your friends either made up, or give them the project so THEY can make up the cards.
I highly recommend this as gifts for the holidays! They are fun and easy to put together too!! Something for every occasion!
YOu can find this wonderful set on page 110 of the Annual Catalog!
Stampin' Up has shared a great video for putting this set together.
I know you will LOVE this kit offered by Stampin' Up

I'm loving the kits in the new 2015 Holiday Catalog. Click here to see my post from yesterday for the "To You and Yours: Shaker Cards Kit.
Today I want to share the Oh What Fun Tag Kit. These are SO cute and really would make nice gifts, or to use for your OWN packages for the holidays.
The kit includes everything to make 30 tags (3 each of 10 different designs). You just need to add the ink and some adhesive.
And the coordinating stamp set "Oh, What Fun"
Gift them as a kit, or make them up and give them to someone really special!
Here are a few of them close up and personal
And here is a great video from Stampin' Up
This video recommends you have Real Red, Garden Green and Mint Macaron inks plus some additional adhesives. One is Crystal Effects and the other is the 2-way glue pen. I recommend the Crystal Effects for the glimmer paper, and then the brand new Fine-Tip Glue Pen in the 2015 Holiday Catalog! This is a great new adhesive for those really small items.
This is a wonderful addition to our adhesive line-up and I find myself grabbing it SO often!!
TIP: This glue pen has a very fine applicator and there is a small "pin" in the lid to keep the applicator from getting clogged. I found it hard to line up the pin for putting it away. I found if I line up the applicator on my finger, I could easily slip the pin in. This is a must for keeping the applicator unclogged!!

Words can't describe the thrill when I received this card in the mail from one of my downline. Thank you SO much Shelly for thinking of me and for sharing this absolutely GORGEOUS card!
This is a shaker card and if you have never made one.....well....it's time! Didn't it turn out SO beautifully?
I saw this fun fold at the Stampin' Up Convention and just had to make it again - love different folds and this one is SO neat!
and open
Isn't that just the neatest?
This is almost TWO cards – the card base which has the Whisper White and Stripes and the smaller piece for the sentiments. The sentiment pieces folds over the left side of the card.
Measurements
Watermelon Wonder card base 6 3/8” x 5 ½” scored at 2 1/8” ; 6” x 4 ¼” scored at 3”
Layer 2 Whisper White 5 ¼” x 4”
Layer 3 School House Designer Series Paper Striped 5" x 3 3/4"
Layer 4 Watermelon Wonder 6” x 4 ¼” scored at 3”
Layers of Whisper White (inside and outside) 2 pieces 4” x 2 ¾”
School House Designer Series Paper Dots 3 ¾” x 2 ½”
I just love this card - I saw one on Pinterest and just had to replicate it! I used the Go Wild Designer Series Paper Stack - which is mainly animal prints, but you couldn't tell from this card. A VERY versatile paper stack
and open all the way
Fold the card base right side in and then left side on top. For the front, attach the Go Wild DSP 5 ¼” x 3 ¾” to the front and then run it through the Big Shot using the 2nd to largest Lots of Labels Framelit. Cut three “frames” using the largest and 2nd largest framelits in Perfect Plum. Add one of these to the front. I folded the right side in under the front and lightly penciled around the cut, so I could line up the next cut perfectly.
On the right side folded piece, adhere the Go Wild DSP 5 ¼” x 3 ¾” to this piece and cut out with the Lots of Labels Framelit 3rd to largest. This left the Soft Suede frame to show through the front!! I added a 2nd Perfect Plum Framelit to this piece.
For the inside of the card, I layered the Whisper White 5 ¼” x 3 ¾’ and the Go Wild DSP piece 5” x 3 ½” and then I cut a piece of Whisper White with the 2nd to largest framelit and added the cupcake to this piece. I then added the 3rd Perfect Plum frame around this piece
For every Sprinkles of Life Stamp Set, Stampin' Up donates $3 to the Ronald McDonald Charity. LOVE the fact the Stampin' Up has contributed over $1,000,000 to this deserving charity
This card is a "tunnel" card
Here's the inside
Isn't that unique?
To make the tunnel card – the front is just the same. For the inside, cut a piece of card stock 8 ½” x 5 ½” and score at 2 1/8”, 5 ¼” and 6 3/8”. The two outside score lines will be valley folds and the 4 ¼” score line will be mountain fold. Cut out center with the oval frame to “frame” your cupcakes. Then using the 5 ¼” x 3 ¾” piece of Whisper White, score on the 1 7/8” mark and line up the next smallest framelit and cut it out centered on the score line. Attach to the inside of the card – putting Tear and Tape (138995) on the score line and on the edge on both sides. When you fold the card, the center will fold out (as you can see in the picture!)
