Here’s the last kit I’ll be sharing with you this week. The Incredible Like You kit! This kit will make 16 cards. I love the fun laser-cut overlays on the cards that highlight the images underneath.
This kit is not all-inclusive. It will come with all the card bases, overlays, accents, die-cuts and embellishments. The kit also comes with a plastic envelope-type box to store your completed cards in. You will need the Incredible Like You stamp, the Lovely Lipstick and Coastal Cabana ink pads and your adhesive of choice to complete these cards.
I did start this project in the car on my recent trip to MN. I got the overlays on the card bases. My tip for this kit is to definitely use some type of liquid glue where you can just a little bit on some of the finer areas of the overlays. You don’t need to cover the back of the entire overlay, just in strategic spots like the corners and some center areas.
I did have everything I needed to complete the kit in the car. I do have to admit that the reason I didn’t complete the cards was that I personally wanted to use different colors of ink on some of the cards and I only had the two colors (Lovely Lipstick and Coastal Cabana) of ink with me that they recommended.
Now that I’ve admitted that, you can see how having to supply the stamp set and the ink colors for a kit can be a good thing. Since you have to supply the stamp set and the ink pads this might not be the perfect kit for a beginner. The beginner stamper would have to purchase the stamp set, the clear block(s) to fit those stamps and an ink pad or two as well as adhesive to complete the kit. On the flip side, this would be a good way to start on their supplies for their craft room. All they need to do is maybe add a package of notecards & envelopes to their order and they would be able to make more cards! (Hmmm….I’m envisioning another post…)
I will update this post when I complete the cards and you can compare my finished kit to the photo above. Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!
