Welcome in, friends! We have officially made it to Friday. This week, I have been off by a whole day, which has made this week feel especially long. Do you ever have weeks like that? Needless to say, I’m ready for the weekend!

Today, I’m sharing with you the alternative card designs that I made using the new all-in-one Share a Smile card kit by Stampin’ Up! This kit is even cuter in person than it is in photos, if you can imagine that. This is a no-stamp kit. So all of your kit components are provided for you and you get all the fun with zero mess!

Last weekend, I hosted a card class using this adorable kit. For kit classes, I love to provide design alternatives for class attendees to see how they can use a kit to create designs that are different from those provided in the included instruction guide. For this particular set of design alternatives, I showed how you could mix and match the included kit elements and even changed the orientation on one design. I also used some extra embellishments from my stash of retired products, which I also make available for in-person attendees to use if they wish.

Have you tried any of the Stampin’ Up! Kits? I’m one who generally loves to start a card from scratch, but I must say that I’ve really enjoyed purchasing kits for those times when I’m in a real time crunch (see yesterday’s post *grin*) but still want to spread a little sunshine to friends & family. Check out the full kit collection in my online store OR, better yet, join me for an in-person class. June class info going up this weekend!
