Monthly Madness March 2022!

Hello!  The March samples are done and ready to share with you!  I have a few new stamps that I got last year during Black Friday sales, that I am so excited to get to ink up.  So much so, I actually have an optional add-on.  I will tell you more about that after I show you the regular kit samples, with the theme of part spring and part sympathy cards, which I had requests for.  Let's get right to it...enjoy!

Every month I do one fun fold in my set of cards, so you can learn new techniques along with making pretty cards to send.  This one is called a Bookbinding Diamond Easel card.  I love this one...

And then when opened, it makes into an easel.  There is a white panel underneath that you can write your message on.  I just did not take a photo of it.

For the next card, I knew I wanted to use a couple of circle images from this one new stamp set and when looking through my paper choices, there was one that so embodied spring that I knew it would make a unique card.  I did opt to add a sentiment on the front that says Celebrate Spring.  So hopefully, that will work for you.  Of course, if it doesn't, you can always let me know, and I will stamp a different sentiment on yours.

Another new set of stamps gave me a chance to create with this oh so pretty floral wreath stamp and die and pretty papers too!

This one would make a perfect thank you card, a thinking of you card, and even a birthday card.  Just add your message.

So, all the cards so far, are pretty.  Did you think I could do a whole set of cards without a cutesy one?  Nope, here we go...

I decided to leave the inside of this one blank, as it is perfect for so many occasions.  It will definitely put a smile on their face.

Next, is a simple and beautiful sympathy card.  When looking for ideas, I saw so many with butterflies, so I am joining in! (Note, looking at photo below, it looks like the embossing was backwards, but on the actual card it is the right way, strange!)

So, the inside sentiment below is crooked!!  Yours will not be.  I did not realize it until I had uploaded the photo.  

Since the sympathy card in the kit, is definitely feminine, I thought it would be a good idea to make my bonus card a masculine sympathy card.  

I hope you enjoyed seeing the March kit samples, as much as I loved creating them.  I do have an additional add-on if you are interested.  You know the Spring card with those nice images in the circles? Well, that set of stamps actually is a set of six different circle images, so when I was thinking of cards to make, I thought about making a set of small notecards in lieu of one of the cards, but I talked myself out of it, because it was going to be more costly and I wasn't sure if anyone would have an interest in them.  So, then I came up with the idea that I could offer the set of card kits for an additional fee of $11.  This includes envelopes for the 4 cards and the additional shipping it will require adding it to your March package.  The size on these are 5" x 3 1/2".  I love how these came out!  Let me show you the set ...

As you can see, they all have the same pretty paper, and the same sentiment but 4 different images. Typically, I don't think any panels are added on the inside, however, I felt they did not look complete if I did not add them, so I did.  I figure you can always leave them out, if you are writing a longer note.

Just an overview, for the regular monthly kit, you get 2 each of 5 designs plus the bonus card made by me, ready to send.  All for $35 ($30 + $5 shipping).  And then if you are interested in the add-on notecard set this month, that is an additional $11.  

I think it was a couple of years ago, I did a Facebook Live video and I had trouble with the contraption I bought to hold my phone so I could be hands free, so I recently got something that might work better, so I am planning on doing that tomorrow night at 7 p.m. on my business page, Tina's Monthly Madness.  Tune in and say hello!  If anyone had trouble with last month's bunny box, I thought I could show a how-to and I have a couple of tips to share.  Hope to see you.

And of course, if you are not one that gets consecutive months of kits, be sure to let me know you want this month's kit.  Again, it is later in the month than I would like, so I will start kitting right away. I still hope to get back on a more timely track sometime soon.  

Happy Stamping!
