Happy Tuesday, everyone! Thanks for stopping in today. My hubby had surgery and recovery is going a bit slower than anticipated. So we’re taking a little detour from touring fields of flowers for the next day or two, but we’ll get back to it once we’re able to return home.
Over the last several years, I’ve had several opportunities to sit in hospital waiting rooms awaiting word on family members having surgery. And I’ve found it helpful to have things to do to help take my mind away from worrying about all of the what-ifs of surgery. One of the things I have really enjoyed doing to pass the time is assembling Stamipn’ Up Kits.
You may be wondering how on earth I’ve managed to assemble cards in a hospital. Well, the beauty of SU! card kits is that they include everything you need to put together at least 3 different card designs. All you need to throw in your bag is some adhesive and paper snips!
While in the waiting room for my husband’s surgery, I finished assembling cards from one of the newest SU! kit releases called By Your Side. This adorable kit is purrrrfect for all of the animal lovers in your life!
The kit includes everything you need to create 4 different card designs. And, of course, you can punch things up with extras, like ribbon or twine or embellishments if you want.
One of the things I love about the SU! Kits is that the designs are simple to put together. You have all the supplies you need, and the kit comes with instructions for assembling each of the different cards. But you can also easily adapt and change designs to suit.
Here’s a sample design variation. My son needed a birthday card for one of his friends who is a huge cat lover. So I substituted the birthday sentiment from the Hot Air Balloon stamp set and added some twine and embellishments to make this super cute birthday design.
I have a number of variations to share with you that are simply the cat’s meow. I’ll share them in my socials once we get home and settled in — maybe a little later this week.
Think this is a cute kit? Interested in having one yourself? You can pick one up anytime in my online store. Simply click here and you’ll go straight to it!
