Many of our friends have loved ones who have served in the armed forces and spent time in Iraq or in other far-away lands. Our son-in-law is home now, but served two tours in Iraq. Our oldest grandson will be leaving for Afganistan later this summer. Memorial Day is a very meaningful holiday for our family. We know that freedom is not free.

Stamp the image in Classic Black Ink, and before it dries, lightly color the flowers with a Blender Pen to achieve a little gray shadowing. The colors of Basic Black, Basic Gray, Whisper White and Old Olive are very striking together. Don't you think?

Designed for kids that are cool (not adults)...

I hope you have a really cool nice weekend!
Simply Scrappin' Card Kits for Cool Kids
HERE'S HOW
1) Separate the Simply Scrappin' Kit into two identical stacks to make the cards for each kit... (3 pieces Textured Card Stock, 2 pieces Designer Series Paper, and 3 Self-Adhesive Die Cut Sheets).
2) You will also need to set aside 1 piece Textured Card Stock and 1 piece DSP for each kit to be used for the boxes and lids.
3) There will be 1 extra sheet of DSP leftover for another project.
4) Kit contents pictured above are listed here...
5) To make a matching designer box, score your 11" x 9" Textured Card Stock along the 11" sides at 2". Score the 9" sides at 3-1/2". Cut the 3-1/2" score lines from the edge of the paper to where it meets the perpendicular score lines as shown in the photo. Fold the box along all score lines and assemble. (It is easier to punch the ribbon hole in the box front before you put it together.)
6) To make the box lid, score your 5" x 7" piece of Designer Series Paper along the 5" side at 1" and at 3". Attach to the back of the box along the 1" scored side. Round the front corners if desired. Embellish box lid and box front with punched circles and Die Cuts. Punch hole in center of circles and thread ribbon to the inside of lid and box. Secure ribbon with knot on the inside.
7) Score the cards in half (with the natural grain of the paper), then lay all 12 cards out and place the 3" x 3" Designer Series Paper trims as pictured but do not glue yet. I do everything in an assembly-line method because it goes so much faster. See how I've placed the DSP with 3 striped and 3 printed squares on each card color, slicing and dicing some for special effect. Organized variety is the spice of life. Now glue them on. I use Dotto!
8) Here's the fun part... Decorate your cards with the snazzy graphics from the Self-Adhesive Die Cuts. Peel and stick to your heart's content!
COME BACK TOMORROW
TO SEE CLOSE-UP VIEWS OF ALL 12 CARDS
AND PHOTOS OF THE FULL COOL KIDS CARD KIT!
IT'S VERY COOL!
I love the Simply Scrappin' Kits and use them for lots of fun things! SCRAPBOOKING is the obvious... And CARD KITS are a natural... I also re-package them with a few basic products and sell them as NEW CUSTOMER KITS. Simply Scrappin' Kits are just plain awesome!
Tomorrow I'll take this COOL KIDS SIMPLY SCRAPPIN' KIT apart and, step-by-step, show you how to make TWO CARD KITS for extremely cool kids!
